When you think about it, it’s kind of weird to hang dead trees on your living tree, right?

After more than four years in our Flagstaff apartment, we are finally moving out!

Ryan and I recently bought our first home here in Flagstaff, and we’re in the process of fixing it up and moving in. We’re reaching the end of the two-month overlap where we’ve been living in this apartment while fixing up the new house. Regardless of where things are at with our new house, we have to be out of this place by the end of the month. The moving boxes are piling up, this apartment is in disarray and — luckily — I took photos a few years ago to share.

We’ve renewed our lease countless times over the past four years. I took all these photos two years ago, when Ryan and I had briefly planned on moving south of Flagstaff to Happy Jack, the tiny tiny town he used to work in.

But, as detailed above… Ryan decided to cancel those moving plans last-minute and we re-signed our lease, and stuck it out here another two years until we bought our house last month.

This post has been living in my drafts folder for about two years now, and I’m excited to finally share.
