I don't believe I have mentioned that we are moving, well I should say have moved. Last weekend we loaded everything up and moved to a new apartment up the road about ten minutes.
We started entertaining the idea of moving last August when we returned home from visiting Utah. When we first moved to our apartment there were 17 other dental student families that lived in our complex. It was heaven!! I felt like it was college all over again, except I was married. Well, each year more and more families graduated but no new families moved in. So each year our numbers went down drastically. I realized that at the end of this school year, because we are the only family in our year, we would be left all alone in this once friend field place. It was a really depressing thought. Anyone who has lived or visited the Colony knows that the only real perk for living here is the friendships.
Anyway so we began to look around. When we got back from Christmas vacation we found an apartment that was offering a HUGE awesome deal and we signed a 14 month lease. We decided that we should move before the baby was born and I'm SOOOO glad we did.
It definitely was bitter-sweet to leave our little home. It spite of all the negative things about the apartment we really truly LOVED living there. It was our first real home together and where we started our family. We made AMAZING friendships that will last forever and created some wonderful life long memories. The Colony for those reasons will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Our new place is WONDERFUL!!! We have lots more space than we did before and the best part is I finally have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher!!! I'll post pictures of our new place as soon as we get it all put together!
A big thanks to everyone who helped us move! Especially Greg's parents who came for 4 days to load and unload us! You guys are the best!

You are moving up in the world of apartment living!!! a dishwasher is heaven on earth. Miss you guys!
Well it was going to happen sooner or later. Be glad you moved before the baby. I hated moving right after KJ was born. It was way to stressful. So glad you got a dishwasher, washer/dryer. That in and of itself was worth the move! Enjoy it! Happy late Birthday to your princess! I can not believe our little girls are two already. It is so sad and yet so fun at this age. I am enjoying the dolls, playing house, doing our hair, and being a princess all day long. Brinley is so cute! Looks like she had a fun day!
Renn said your new place was WAY nice, I'm excited to see it. I still kind of wish you could have waited 2 months to move though..... Oliver is LONELY.
Sweet! I'm so happy for you guys! Seriously, your quality of life is much better after you move from there....well only if it's an upgrade which it sounds like it is! So yay for you!
I'm so happy you like your new place! Put up some pictures!
I'm so glad you found a good deal!
That is really sad that the Colony has completely died out. It really was so much fun when we were all there together. Im glad you found a better place for your last little while in Philly.
