Apartment Mumbo Jumbo

Apartment hunting is a lot of work. It took me a solid week of looking every day to find one. Luckily, I found one that was a reasonable price, seemed nice, wasn't loaded with college kids (no offense, but the majority of college kids are loud!), and in a good location. So success!

I'm living in the "Park at Allandale" which is right off of Anderson Lane and near Northcross Mall. Hence, the Shoeboxes job is super convenient. The apartment is a whopping 700 sq. feet and even has a little laundry room that will instead be used for Indy's playspace. It's got a tile floor and I can use a baby-gate to shut him off. That way, when I'm gone at work or errands, he can play with his toys and not be stuck in his little crate. It's also got a nice little patio for Indy and is on the first floor so it'll be easier for me to get in and out. I'm also quite close to the gorgeous pool. Hooray.

Not gonna lie, looking forward to not having to climb our epic hill to go on runs. It's close to Shoal Creek, which is an awesome place to go biking.

Anyways, I'm excited. I cooked for my dad's uber-late Father's Day celebration last night and it made me miss shopping and cooking for myself. Not sure how long that'll last, but at least this place has a dishwasher and disposal. Towards the end of my time in the Yellow House, I chose my meals by what involved the least amount of dishes. It was ridiculous. Hopefully I'm going to be trying some great new recipes (ala Josh Cleveland) and posting them and pictures of them on here. What can I say? I'm a foodie.

In non-apartment related news, Indy is so close to not having to be on his leash all the time and getting to go to the dog park again! It has been a pain not being allowed to take him out anywhere! He has been going crazy in the house. He gets the "zoomies" where he'll just take off up and down the stairs and run in to walls. Too. much. energy. Not enough outlet! We went on a short walk yesterday but he was really odd for the rest of the day so we'll take it easy. Today he has just been sleeping.
