Four full months before the wedding, He's supplied us with a gorgeous loft apartment!
We're teaming up with another engaged couple (good friends of ours who are getting married around the same time we are) to lease two apartments in a building a block away from the church we all are members of. There were two units available for June--a flat on the ground floor (which Parris & Robert are taking), and a loft upstairs (which we're taking). But as both couples are waiting until after their wedding to move in together, the girls will live in the loft together and the guys will live together downstairs in the other apartment until September, after the wedding, when we'll switch!
It probably sounds kind of confusing, but it really does work out.
Why it's so awesome:
- We get to spend the summer setting our place up.
- We have an address for wedding RSVPs to be sent to.
- We'll live in the same building (it'll be nice living so close to your fiance!).
- We're close to everything: our church, public transportation (no more spending a fortune on gas each week), stores/shops/dining, JeLisa's job...
- We found an affordable San Francisco apartment without having to leave the city or live in a studio or in-law.
- We like the neighborhood and it'll be easier to get to the other SF areas we love.
- For our first apartment, it's actually...nice! Hardwood floors, secure building, nice view, lots of sunlight...
