I go for my dress fitting today with my co-worker's g/f who is a seamstress - she's offered to do my 2-3 inch hem AND bustle for $35-50!!!
AND - AND AND!!!
Greg & I got approved for a new apartment!!! Just got the news yesterday! It's less than 2 miles from my work, 5 miles from my college, and right next door to an elementary school where my daughter will attend! And my FI's commute will only be about 11.5 miles.
This apartment is a 2 bedroom (HUGE rooms!) with cathedral ceilings and an open concept floorplan - LOTS of cabinet space in the kitchen - a breakfast bar - and appliances are all included.

Also has a patio with lockable storage off to one side of it

And HEAT IS INCLUDED! Which is AWESOME during winters in Wisconsin!

The apartment is on the back side of the property and the view from our apartment is overlooking a pond and then nothing beyond that

GORGEOUS and secluded

Move in is July 1st - so I'll post photos once we get it all set up. Holy crikey I'm gonna be busy!!
SO SO excited

I cannot wait!
