Update: We did move into the 640 sq ft home
My husband and I have gone through quite the journey together in our marriage. Our first apartment was a small attic with two bedrooms with slanted slopes. It was a smart choice for us as it was only $350 a month and it was close to the university where I had one more year of school. The only problem was that for the first time in our lives, we came face to face with the need to deal with all of our stuff. In addition to the generous wedding gifts we received necessary to starting a new home, we each had our own stash of collectables from our childhood. By the end of that first year, neither of our parents had any of our possessions left in their homes. Furthermore, we knew we would up-size soon so we started buying furniture when we found stuff we liked on thrift. It was starting to get very cramped.
