Bed Bugs and other Blessings
This summer, Tim and I moved into a small apartment. We were planning to stay there for a year or more. In order to move in late in the Spring we took over someone's lease and had to go without professional cleaning during the changeover. We did manage to score some of the previous tenant's furniture though! It was a little weird sleeping on someone else's old mattress but we didn't have the money to buy a new one at the time. She also left us a futon, a super cute dining table and chairs, a microwave, a mirror, and a tv stand! It was perfect for setting up our first apartment especially since we did not have extra money to furnish our new home. Since we took over the lease but wanted professional cleaning to be done at some point, we would have been required to move out for three weeks in August and move in to a different apartment in the same complex at the end of the month. So we made plans to visit family and friends and to move our belongings into a storage...
