After David and I were married, we only moved once from our initial apartment to the house in Pisgah Forest during the first 4 years. We moved in January 2010, then again in September 2010, and now once more in May of this year. The moving around has been exciting despite the annoyances of packing up all of your stuff, moving it, and unpacking it all at the new place. However good living in Spruce Pine in my parents’ newly bought house for pretty cheap rent was, we really missed the Asheville area. There just really isn’t anything in Spruce Pine! (I mean, I love our library and DT’s coffee house.) Also, Mom and Dad are really wanting to actually move in their home – they are itching to get stuff done that needs to be done around the house, and it’s true, David and I don’t really have a whole lot of desire to do…yard work.
So, we’ve looked at a few apartment complexes in the Arden area, and we are really liking a 1 bedroom at Carson’s Creek. The location is perfect: just down the road from the gym where we still are in our contract, not too far from the library we used to go to, not far from the new Biltmore Park with all the neat shops and the new movie theatre, (and actually, an older turned cool theatre/cafe is just below the complex) which means we are also quite close to I- 26, the Parkway, I-40, and downtown Asheville as well. We love it.
Our idea is also to get rid of EVERYTHING we don’t need. We did a lot of that when we first moved from the church to Mills River, but we’re planning on doing even more and actually getting rid of several pieces of clunky furniture that we just don’t want anymore. We’re planning to go super minimalistic, which is exciting, because looking online at minimalist interior design is much more contemporary than how I’ve always decorated.
I can’t wait to actually get moved, settle in, and post pictures!
