Brandon and I went apartment shopping on Saturday. We have been looking at so many lately. We have been impressed by a few. Others not so much. =) A main factor for me is living in a safe area. I am paranoid about break ins, and stuff like that, and so I very much have been wanting to live in a town thats a little more upscale, and safe. Well right near where we both live currently is a little town called Mill Creek. For those who are not familiar with the area, its a cute little town that isn't very big. It has a cute little "Towne Center" as its called, that has pretty much everything you need or could want. But what I like about it is that it is very much upscale, and safe.
As we were driving down the main highway that runs through Mill Creek a few days ago, we found that there was apartments, after apartments, after apartments. So instead of visiting every complex we jotted the names down and went home to look them up on the internet.
After finding a few that we like and that were in our price range. We decided to go look at them on saturday. It didn't take us very long to find the one that we both absolutely loved. Its called The Mill. The price is reasonable, and the apartment is sooo nice. They were remodeled about 2 years ago, and so the inside is so modern and cute.
I can't wait to move in there! Lets just hope that when it comes time for us to move in, that they still have apartments available. =)
Lately I have been talking about going to a cupcake bakery to try these "Gourmet Cupcakes" that are all the craze lately. I am not a cake lover, and so it has been driving me absolutely crazy to turn on the tv and see more and more cupcake tv shows and to drive by all these cupcake bakeries. So I finally decided that I needed to try a gourmet cupcake before I continued to think that this new fad is stupid. Who knows maybe gourmet cupcakes are all they are cracked up to be.
So after Brandon and I finished Apartment Shopping. I told him that we needed to go try ourselves some cupcakes. I knew of a bakery im Snohomish (where I live) called Bite Me Cupcake Bakery and Eatery. It had a fun name. So we went!
I ordered the Chocolate Lovers Cupcake Imagine THAT! And Brandon ordered the Red Velvet Cupcake.
We sat down at one of the tables to enjoy our cupcakes, and as I ate my cupcake and tried Brandon's my suspicions were confirmed. The cupcake fad really isn't all that it is made out to be. They really aren't all that Fantastic. My world didn't stop, my tastebuds weren't immediately sent to heaven. And my Chocolate Craving wasn't satisfied in the least. Now don't get me wrong. It wasn't bad, it was good. But I still don't understand the fixiation with the cupcake fad.
My conclusion to this experiment was that maybe Bite Me Cupcake Bakery and Eatery just isn't as gourmet as some. So before I can confirm my suspicions, I need to try atleast one more cupcake from a different bakery.
As for my weekend. It was awesome!
