Home Sweet Home

We moved to a new apartment in August. We have been pleasantly surprised by how much we like our new place. We didn't really think we wanted to move because we liked our old apartment. But when they raised the rent by 10% after only one year, we decided to try to find someplace a little more affordable. In the end I think it was meant to be. We really like living here at Baity Hill (aka "Student Family Housing"...when Rylan went to buy a parking pass he told the officer he needed a parking pass for "married student housing" and the officer curtly reminded him "You mean student family housing!" Rylan was like "Oh right.") Anyways, one thing Rylan and I like is that all of our utilities are included in our rent...cable, internet, gas, water, electric, phone...everything! So recently we have enjoyed sleeping at night with the air conditioning at 70 degrees and taking slightly longer, slightly hotter showers! Also, the apartments are only 2 years old so they feel very new and clean. Rylee, on the other hand, could care less about these things. Her favorite part is the view of campus. What she loves the most is the view of the hospital...particularly the helicopter landing pad. Almost everyday we see the helicopter take off and land. Pictured is the hospital she built with her blocks, complete with helicopter pad. Now she tells people we live in the "city". I don't know if living on the other side of town puts us in the "city" category but we like it and for now, it's home.
