As a result of paying our rent for the month of August when we signed our lease a few months ago, we didn't have to pay rent this month. It was nice to have some extra money in the bank!
And now we have a good thing to use it on. A new alternator for Ryan's car! Haha. It's not exactly what I would have wanted to spend it on, but I am so glad we actually have extra money when we need it.
We have the extra money because we didn't move into the farmhouse in Cherry Hill. I'm still very disappointed about that, and I wish we were living in a house, but, I guess God knew what He was doing.
Thank you to all the people who were willing to give us a ride last night!

Ryleigh vs. dinner
Last night Ryleigh absolutely would not eat her food, no matter what I did. Luckily I caught it on video for all to see. She's pretty darn cute, even when she's spitting out her food

Being content
I haven't blogged in a while cause I guess I've been busy.
We're all settled into our new place and I know that we made the right choice in living here. I told Ryan that if I ever start feeling discouraged about the fact that we are still living in an apartment instead of a house he needs to send me to my closet. I love my closet.... especially the part where the floor is flat, instead of slanted like our old one, so I can actually walk into my walk-in closet. I also love Ryleigh's closet.
I love our patio. Ryleigh, Hera and I have been sitting out there for a few minutes every morning. Ryleigh squeals every time she sees Hera, so every morning she squeals, and all the neighborhood dogs start barking, haha.
One amazing thing is that we have empty space in some parts of the apartment. I though empty space was unheard of... I only wish the empty spaces were in my kitchen, cause there's definitely a space issue there. However, there is a country decor store down the street, (which Ryan showed me, so he's not allowed to get mad if I buy anything there). So, I am in search of a bread box, and some kind of cabinet that will look nice, but hold all the extra kitchen items.
One weird thing is that this complex is about the same size as our old one, and yet I hardly ever see people outside. There are definitely no stay-at-home-moms close by :-( But there's no naked guy, and no smokers who sit outside all day like at our old place.... so, you win some, you lose some.
Overall this is a good place for us to be :-)
