About Us
Posted by Brittney
Hello!
We’re Matt and Brittney Ahrens and this is our blog. Welcome! We used to be that fun couple who owned a cute house in Iowa. We’re now that fun couple who sold their house, packed up their baby dogs and headed West. You can read all about that adventure here. We’re exploring our new city and (re)learning to decorate in an apartment. Welcome to our circus.
The Baby Dogs
Our 2 loveable pups, Lulu and Lily. They are half Chihuahua and half Dachshund. We have no idea why Lily is mammoth in comparison to Lulu. They star in a ridiculous amount of photos and videos. Oh, and we dress them up, prepare yourself.
So what’s Poverty with a View mean?
What is the essence of “Our Poverty with a View”? It’s putting in new wood floors and getting a leak in the roof. It’s painting the spare room a grayish-tan, and then a grayish-green, and then a tannish-gray. In short, it’s us living our life, and doing our best to carve our little place into a home. It might not always work out – sometimes it will even suck, but we always have a goal and we’ll get there someday. We might not have everything we want right now, but when we take a step back and look around we like what we see. We hope you do too.
