list from the loft

  • we are loving life at the loft
  • we have these two huge windows in the main room that go almost from floor to ceiling on a 15 or more foot tall wall
  • Michael's parents came over yesterday to get some of the stuff they will be storing for us, and they helped us get our bed up into the loft - HUGE help!!!
  • It was a little tricky getting the bed up there, but it turned out being easier than we thought it would be
  • we slept in the loft last night for the first time, and our dog Tabor does not like the spiral stair case, so he slept downstairs by himself. I'm not sure how much he slept. At one point during the night he was wining/howling. We will try to train him to go up the stairs.
  • the community here at the loft apartments is very interesting and seems to be a huge mix of people. We have nick names for some of the people we see on a regular basis but haven't really met yet. Some people are more approachable than others.
  • This morning while Michael was leaving for Revolution and I was taking Tabor out for his morning business, we met a guy who is the lead electric guitarist for Mount Paran Church of God. He lives at the very end of our hall.
  • There's a single mom with two boys who live on one side of us, and two young dudes, probably around 20 years old who live on the other side of us.
  • The lofts are surprisingly quiet, and we really do not hear much outside noise at all when we are inside our apartment.
  • We saw two guys who were obviously about to fight each other Friday night while we were coming back in from taking Tabor out. They were standing right in front of the window of the apartment we almost moved into when we first started looking here. I'm so glad Michael said he wanted to check out apartments on the top floor to see what they'd be like. In front of that window is where a group of people hang out all the time.
  • There are a lot of people who have dogs here.
  • Dollar Tree, Gold's Gym, and Johnny's Pizza are right across from our apartment. Hot-z came over Friday and we went to lunch, and she drove. We had not decided where we would eat before we left, but we ended up at Johnny's Pizza, and we realized we could have walked there.
  • It takes about 3 minutes to get to church from here, which is where I have to get ready to go to, so I guess this list is done.
Peace out!
