The first place we saw was incredible. It was a beautiful yellow house right on the lake. We didn&#8217;t even see the inside, and I knew it would be perfect. Unfortunately, it was in Nisswa &#8211; which would tack on a 20 minute drive to work each day (and thus the extra expense of gas). It was also the highest rental price we found and did not include utilities. So, we didn&#8217;t rule it out, but we kept on looking.<\/p>\n<p>We liked the location of all the places we saw, but in the end decided on an apartment just a couple of miles away from the school I&#8217;ll be teaching at. We&#8217;re excited about the two bedroom, two bathroom place we&#8217;ve rented &#8211; complete with balcony, fireplace, and for Bill &#8211; high speed internet. \ud83d\ude42 I&#8217;m really pleased with the place and anxious for visitors. \ud83d\ude42 We&#8217;ll begin moving in about a week.<\/p>\n<p>In other events of the week&#8230; Tuesday brought my 27th birthday. It was a rather gloomy day, but perfect to\u00a0 go to lunch with the couple we LOVE to double date with&#8230;&#8230; Grandma and Grandpa!\u00a0 It was a great birthday.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/07\/milkshakes-01.jpg\" alt=\"ice cream boys\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/07\/rollers-01.jpg\" alt=\"gram and me\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We went out for lunch to the Country Kitchen~ and, I even got a FREE birthday dinner, with a sundae included!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/07\/birthday-sunday.jpg\" alt=\"birthday girl\" height=\"196\" width=\"147\" \/><\/p>\n<p>YUM.\u00a0 It was a ton of fun, and extra special hanging out with gram and gramps.\u00a0 I also enjoyed a number of calls, e-mails, and cards which made me feel like a princess. Thanks, everyone!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to a pretty low-key weekend and then a trip to Door County, Wisconsin mid-week.<\/p>\n<p>Finally&#8230; why are we suddenly paying $3.19 for a gallon of gas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill and I went hunting for a place to live on Wednesday, and we were determined not to leave town until we had our own space.
