After a few Saturdays of touring many different properties, we decided to jump on the opportunity to reserve one of our favorite places. The property is called Metro at Zanjero and we are renting a until with the floor plan A2.
It is a one bedroom unit with the most beautiful, long granite counter top island with deeeep sinks and a removable faucet head. The appliances are great (including a microwave with a turntable and an oven with a window--two features our current appliances lack) and there is a huge pantry (also missing from our current kitchen).
Our actual unit is very close to all the amenities including the pool, gas grills, workout room, and mailboxes. We are on the third/top floor so we have a tiny view of the mountains in the distance.
The most exciting part is that our new friends here live in the same complex, just a few buildings away!
We will be signing the lease and moving in May 17th. It will give us a few weeks to move from our current apartment way across town to the new apartment.
We are very much looking forward to the peace and quiet we will experience in the new place, devoid of sirens, helicopters, screeching car tires, bus stop announcements, and chirping crosswalks. Instead we will enjoy the trickling sound of the pool's waterfalls.....

New addition!
Well if you haven't scoped out our facebook profiles yet, then let me tell you about our new addition... Locke! He is a little baby kitty about 8 weeks old.
It all started Sunday morning at 8:20 when we received a call from our friend Katie Mason. We were planning on meeting her and Katlyn for breakfast that morning at 10. However, they had captured a kitten and wanted to take it to the vet at 9 so maybe we could have breakfast earlier or later. I said that we should definitely see this kitten because who wouldn't want to see a baby kitty? Then we found out there was another kitten that was still outside with its mom (who was not too happy). So then we were intrigued.
We had been thinking about getting a friend for Hobbes because he hasn't been eating well at home, but whenever he goes to Sarah's (our cat-sitter and long-time friend) house he eats just fine with his several cat friends. We were strongly considering getting a puppy...but puppies take a LOT more time and work.
Long story short, we went over to Katie's and corralled Locke and took them both (his sister is Elphaba from Wicked) to the vets. Though they are a bit fearful because they are feral, overall they were very healthy and clean.
Hobbes still doesn't know what to think of this little thing but he is very curious about him. Locke is becoming braver and braver everyday, starting to explore a little bit. This morning he purred in my arms for the first time, which was wonderful. He is so cuddly and we can't get enough of him!
