Update on the barn

As you all know, the plan has always been that the barn would be renovated into an apartment, and we would move in immediately following the wedding. Although we're still planning on moving in, it won't be quite as soon as we had thought. Due to a couple unexpected structural difficulties with the barn, it's going to take a little longer than planned. As a result, Ryan and I have been looking around for some possible apartments we will live in until the barn is all ready. It's been fun looking at different apartments. We've had the chance to see what possibilities are out there, and trying to picture ourselves in our first home. We're very excited about one particular apartment. It's low-income housing, so the rent is amazing! It's a brand new building, very pretty, very clean, and very spacious. It's an energy efficient building (which includes a windmill), so the energy bill generally comes to about $50 a month. All the other utilities are included. It's also in a perfect location. Very safe, close to both our families, and a halfway point between work for both of us. Even though we agreed from the start that we wouldn't let ourselves get our hopes up, we're really excited and hopeful about this place. We are still very excited about living in the barn, but until then, we're hoping to get this apartment. I'll keep everyone updated as we learn more.
