Yes, yes, you read this correctly. We're moving out of the city...to what Kansas Citians would call "just North of the river". I'm calling it the "Subcity", since it's a combination of the city and the suburbs. It's seriously just North of the city - 10 min from downtown. We love the city so much, so we didn't want to move far.
I still can't believe I'm writing this. We're moving.
We're moving.
We're moving.
Still seems surreal. We're so sad to be leaving our wonderful condo that we've called home for the last year and a half. We truly never expected to leave this soon regardless of children, but we decided to become responsible adults. Ha.
Actually it was the daycare costs that got us. Holy moly! I knew that daycare was expensive, but it's just downright outrageous!!! Now don't get me wrong, we'd pay an arm & leg to ensure that our little Gnocchi was safe & taken care of. But having that daycare reality smack us in the face made us reevaluate our financial situation...and the crazy high HOA fees that we pay at our current location. We have the best amenities here, so the fees are worth it to those who live here. However, we're trading in our HOA fees to be able to put Gnocchi in a good daycare - one that gives us peace of mind - and still be able to live the lifestyle we want to live.
So...if you know anyone that is in the KC area and wants to live in the most fabulous building in the city, send them my way. Here's a couple pics of our current place...
...and a sneak peak of our new place!
It's a crazy, busy time for the Gravelle's, that's for sure!
Let's hope we can keep our sanity!!
Cheers!
