We are now the proud owners of a condo in Santa Barbara! The movers are bringing our stuff over next Monday, so we have one last weekend of apartment living. We're anxious to get out, but in some ways I think I'll miss this place. There's something carefree about renting. We didn't have to clean (a cleaning service was included in the rent), worry about any maintenance, or pay any separate utility bills. But we're definitely willing to give up those conveniences for more space, our own furniture (including our TV!), and the freedom to customize. I'm also looking forward to having a refrigerator big enough to hold beer again.

Gotta run. Tonight we're having a picnic on our new living room floor (pictured above). A "camp in" was also considered, but we're not that desperate to start living there.
