Our (Maybe) Apartment, So Sweet, and Cute Dress

Okay, so I know I freaked out my mom a bit with our (possible) new apartment. I will explain. The apartment and the apartment complex is actually rather cute. It IS a lot smaller than our current apartment (about 800 square feet compared to our 1100), and only has 1 bathroom (hey, one less to clean each week). However, it has a really nice kitchen, a washer/dryer, a cute little fireplace (Adam is extremely excited about this possibility... though I really don't know why you would need a fireplace in Las Vegas), and a greenhouse window in the kitchen. The apartment complex has lots of grass and trees, and is really close to a park. That said, it's in what some, less adventurous, people, might consider a bad area of town. The surrounding apartments and homes aren't that great, and it's really close to a casino. And (this won't mean anything to anyone but Katie) the cross streets are Vegas Valley Drive and Mountain Vista (yes, it's right by Nellis). BUT, it's one of the only 2-bedroom apartments in Las Vegas renting for under $900/month AND includes water/trash/sewer. So... we haven't signed anything yet, and we're still looking, but... it's a definite possibility.

Adam is doing much better, but Grace took a turn for the worse. She woke up coughing/throwing up no less than 8 TIMES last night! Goodness! And I seem to be coming down with it, too. Yuck! I can't complain, though, because I haven't been sick at all in over a year (yay!) and I'm grateful for that. Poor Adam... when Mike left for work this morning, he told Adam to, "Take care of my girls." Adam got tears in his eyes and said, "But Dad, I'm only a little 4-year-old... I can't take care of everyone!" Poor guy. Today, after I laid Grace down for her nap, I heard Adam in the room with her. I went in there to tell him to get out, and found him giving her a sweet kiss! For someone who can sure fight with her a lot, it's good to know that he definitely loves her.

Tonight, I needed a break, so I ran over to Target when Mike got home, to buy some toilet paper (Grace has decided that her goal for the year is to unravel as MANY rolls as possible... she went through 4 this week). I was browsing around, and saw this dress for $4, and totally broke my "Clearance Rack" rule of: "It doesn't matter how cheap it is, if it's not a necessity" and bought it! It is just TOO darling! It was 75% off, though, and I bought it for NEXT Christmas, so it's kind of a necessity, really... I think I was pretty justified in my purchase (or I'm good at justifying it, anyways). :)

Hope everyone is doing good! Until next time, make it a great one!
