Home Sweet Home

So my lady & I have been talking for awhile about the possibility of us renting a house so we could have more space for all our stuff, a yard for Jack and maybe a new puppy, room for a future baby, and more room so we can shut the cats out of the bedroom. Our lease isn't up until the end of August, but our manager wants us to decide by March 31st if we're staying.
Well we've been looking at prices for renting homes and they are really high, like around double what we're paying now. So we were thinking a two-bedroom apartment instead of the tiny one-bedroom 700 sq. ft. apartment we're in now. The complex we live in has two-bedroom apartments that are 845 s. ft. We like the manager and the apartments, so I left a message with her, but she hasn't gotten back to us. Cindi found another complex that has two-bedroom apartments that are 925 sq. ft. plus they have a dog run and an exercise room. Here is the floor plan which much to my delight shows a pantry in the kitchen! Our current bedroom has three closets but it would be ok because there is additional storage outside in the patio and a whole entire extra bedroom. I don't know what we'd do with two bathrooms!

The thought of packing and moving all our stuff makes me wanna cry, especially because it'll be right around the end of my last set of classes. But I'm sure we'll be able to get help and it'll be a great excuse to sort through and get rid of stuff. I LOVE doing that, I wish I had more time to sort and organize.
Just for grins here is the floor plan for our current apartment, obviously not to scale.
