- The pool, tennis courts, and playground are very close
- Derrick and I have our own bathroom
- We also have a walk-in closet
- Dayton has a nice big room with a lot of room to play
- We're right next to Derrick's school
- My laundry room has a lot of shelves for extra storage (thanks Dad)
- Right behind our building, the campus has a big grass field with trees, just like the park we left behind in Provo
- The bathrooms actually have cupboards under the sinks-hurray!
Dislikes:
- We can hear all the footsteps, toilets flushing, and showers of our upstairs neighbors
- The HUMIDITY
- Our apartment is small (compared to our home in Provo) so we have ugly steel storage shelves in our living room and Dayton's room (thanks Dad)
- We don't have a pantry, so a lot of our food is stored on those ugly storage shelves
- I don't have a place to do my crafting!
- We don't have cable or a TV recorder (by choice), so I'm missing ABC Family, USA, and the Gameshow Network, and the ability to record shows to watch later
- Our microwave is low-power and doesn't have a rotating plate, which makes heating food quite a chore; Derrick's description: "weak sauce"
- We don't have the privacy of our own backyard
Side note:
We both took the written Illinois Driving Exam in order to obtain our Illinois Driver's Licenses. We both passed easily! I won't say who got the higher score- some things should be kept between husband and wife.
Dayton wants to type:

Your blog is cracking me up! Keep up the good work. BY THE WAY...... I LOVE THE BIRTHDAY QUILT! Its so stinking cute. Thank you so much. Its such a special present she will have her whole life. What a great idea!
I'm excited to read the blog and keep updated on the McKay family. I hear you're visiting in September. We'll be sure to bother you at some point. Apartment living wasn't my favorite, but a small sacrafice for what you'll have in the end.
Lovin' the blog! Derrick is such a good sport.
Looking forward to visiting with you next month.
