Great Things Come In Small Places

We have lived in our little 800 square foot apartment for almost 2 years.  It has been 2 years too long!  We are so excited to get into our new house in a few weeks.  We can hardly wait to have more space among other things, however living in this small space has given us a new sense of gratitude.  Here are some things we have come to appreciate.
1.  As in ONE bathroom.  I only have to clean one toilet, one sink, and one tub!
2.  Two bedrooms and a living room only take about 20 minutes to vacuum.
3.  It only take 3 seconds to run across the entire house in an emergency.
4.  No yard work for two whole summers.
5.  A community pool we have enjoyed for FREE for two summers.
6.  Utilities are included.  We haven't had to pay a water or gas bill in two years!
7.  Rent is a LOT cheaper than a house payment!
8.  We don't have to shovel a driveway!
9.  If things break we just call the land lord to come and fix it.
10.  We are super close to everything!  For example, we are 1.7 miles from our parking lot to the parking lot at Kyle's work.  We are .5 miles away from the river and an AMAZING walk/nature path.  We are 1.0 miles away from the post office and the library.  We are 2.0 miles away from Wal-Mart and 3.2 miles away from Target.
