This tiny apartment

Somedays I just get so worked up over where my husband and I live.

We honestly didn't look at that many apartments when we made our decision in May where we were going to live. We certainly should have expanded our search further.

Our landlords are the most unpleasant people. This is no exaggeration. If you were to look them up on Google you would find many bad reviews on them... We made the mistake of not looking them up first before we signed the lease. There have been many occasions of them being extremely rude to both my husband and I. Also, an incident happened a little over a month ago with our dog getting off his leash while I was walking him. A dog was coming towards us so he took off at the other dog. Long story short, for some reason the owner of the properties was just sitting in his truck in the middle of the apartment complex and he saw what happened. He decided to exaggerate way more and lie about the whole situation. He claimed that several people were trying to help the dogs stop wrestling each other, etc, when in reality it was just ME outside with him standing off to the side just watching it happen while I was screaming for help! That definitely caused me extreme anger, but I got over it.
I just can't wait till our lease is up.

Somedays I just want to cry because of this apartment. The dishwasher barely works, the downstairs toilet completely stopped working, the upstairs toilet barely works now, people leave out their trash on their doorsteps at night which ends up all over the complex the next morning, the neighbors fight, a cop and ambulance were here last Friday night because of something that happened with the neighbors a few doors down, there isn't any space to cook... I could go on forever with the list.

But I need to realize something.

Atleast I have a roof over my head, air, and heat.

I need to be thankful on a daily basis for that.

LORD, please remind me daily of how much you have blessed me with and that I am only in a season of stressing out over this apartment.

October!

Today is October 1st! I am so super pumped for this month! Fall, fall, fall! Bonfires, costumes, apples, pumpkins, crisp air, crunch leaves! I could go on forever about all my favorites of fall.

All dressed up for church on Sunday! Yep, that's part of our church right behind us! Our apartment is beside the church.

Life lately has been busy, but it's been fun. This past weekend Josh had a few friends over who spent the weekend at our apartment just chilling and hanging out. We all watched World War Z together... To be honest, I actually really enjoyed the movie! I am a fan of The Walking Dead also... but I am not a huge fan of zombies haha. My sister and my best friend also stayed with us this weekend... We definitely had a full house for such a little apartment.

My husband may or may not have asked me to paint his nails with glow in the dark nail polish he saw at Walgreens. It went on clear in case anyone was wondering. When we laid down for bed that night he pretended his fingers were spiders. He seriously had a blast. Isn't he precious?
