I just love apartment living. I mean, who doesn't? You get to share walls with people you don't know and you get to enjoy bright white walls in every room. What could be better?
Meet my sarcasm.
Since Davin and I married four years ago (next week!) we have lived in five places. Ava has already lived in three in her two little years.
Why?
Because everywhere we have lived there has been something I couldn't stand and I have started looking for a new place the day our lease has expired. Luckily, Davin is a pretty good sport about all my moving.
Some of the reasons I just loooove apartment living.
Three out of our five places have had no dishwashers. Two of these three places didn't even have garbage disposals. We're currently in a no dishwasher place, but at least we have a disposal. Don't take those things for granted people!
Paper thin walls. I can't stand to listen to people's music. I mean I really, really can't stand it. I often picture myself reaching through the wall, grabbing people by their collars and slamming their faces into the wall. Sound violent? I know...I used to think I was straight up insane but I recently learned I have misophonia. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who flies into a fit of rage over something as stupid as music.
Oh, and night life... We've had a few neighbors who are a little, um, enthusiastic at night. It's ridiculous. Sometimes funny, mostly ridiculous.
People walking around right outside my windows. It seems our front windows have always been right up against the parking lot. I just love having people looking in our windows while they walk by. However, I do rather enjoy being able to look into other peoples windows when I walk by. I love seeing in people's houses. Davin says I'm a creep.
My current favorite? The spiders! Our landlord has had some "professional" come spray our apartment twice and the spiders don't seem bothered. In fact the spiders, snakes, beetles and other bugs don't even seem to notice. I hate spiders. I hate them.
BUT at least we don't shovel walks, mow the lawn or pay for repairs. I like that.

Get the glue traps for the spiders they work the best!!
We have a house and while I love it I hate the maintenance that comes with it and the huge area to clean- sometimes I long for a little place again!
Sometimes I miss living in an apartment, just for the whole "no maintenance" part, but I would HATE to not have a disposal or dishwasher! Your hubs is definitely a good sport to be willing to move so much. My hubs HATES to move.
