Athira / Aths said…
Yes! I'm still playing around with how I want it. I'm dreaming about a wall bookshelf and plenty of nooks around the house. We'll see. :)
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) Not a big city at all.. or else I wouldn't be able to afford a big place. Though a big city would be nice in a way.
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) Yes, the worry just rolled off - I barely even remember anymore. :)
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) I can't wait to move in!
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) Haha! We live in a small city in the US, so that's why we can afford a big place ... A bigger city and we would be looking at a different kind of place.
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) I can't wait to move in either!
Athira / Aths said…
Thanks! :) How come you have to wait so long to move in?
