Still the same one
We moved in very quickly after we started dating. Our apartment is fabulous, but the neighbourhood is not so nice. We live next to a Turkish restaurant, in the summer we can't sleep with our windows open because of all the noise. Last summer we had to yell at them every night so they would shut up and we could get some sleep. There's also a student pub right across from where we live, and they also make lots of noise.
So we decided to move, but then thought it was stupid to rent another apartment elsewhere. We both have enough experience with relationships to know and feel that this one can last for many many years. So we decided to buy a house. And then couldn't find one that met all our requirements
All of the sudden we found this perfect piece of land. About 700 mē. Very rural, lots of trees and pastures. Very quiet as well. We talked to most of our future neighbours, and they were all so friendly and nice. So we bought it and are now working on the design of our house
Hopefully we can start building this year. We're going to do most of the interior work ourselves, so it'll take a couple of years to complete. But I'm already looking forward to having our very own vegetable garden!
We've only been together for 1 years and 3 months, so there is some risk involved. But life would be so boring if you don't take a risk every now and then, right?
