The last time I lived in the 84054 zip code I was 7 years old, now I’m back… Alvin and I just moved into the Foxboro Apartments in North Salt Lake! We’ve been bottom dwellers in my parent’s basement for the past 8 months. After Alvin was accepted at the University of Utah we started our search for our own place. We really hadn’t planned on moving out until April but Foxboro made it virtually impossible not to move in now – They didn’t charge us a deposit, it was only $200 for the rest of February, and with direct deposit of a nice tax return we signed the lease on Wednesday. We’ve been so blessed! I thought I was excited but you should have seen Alvin. Wednesday night he began moving things in. While I was at work on Thursday he managed to carry (among other huge items) our mattress and box spring up three flights of stairs by himself. He seriously did 90% of this move all alone.
