Don't believe me?

Our kitchen is also his recording studio.


I've been doing some thinking about this season of life.
Thinking about how our shower is so small I can barely shave my legs in it.
And how our lower kitchen cabinets double as bookshelves for all our...books.
And the fact that our freezer is a little door inside our regular fridge and coats all of our food in 6 inches of 'snow'.
And how we spend 80% of our time in our apartment sitting in front of our one heater.
We eat dinner, do homework, talk, watch movies, read, live in front of this thing.
Thinking about our boxsprings that are right on our uneven (beautiful) wood floors and squeak anytime you roll over in bed.
And of course the fact that we don't have a dresser and only one closet. Which, if you're us, comes to mean that my champ of a husband offered to use the pantry as his closet. Meaning you could easily flip your morning eggs and be pulling on some jeans without taking a step.
Really, it's convenient. And we all like convenience, right?
Honestly, I love it. I love our little home that has just has a few of our favorites. Our little sofa big enough for two. Always eating fresh food because I'm scared to put things in our freezer. And storing all of our belongings in trunks that double as coffee tables and side tables...
It's all in perspective.
