A few months after I moved into my apartment I knew I wanted to move. Screaming kids right outside your window when you're trying to sleep after working graveyard will do that to you. Unfortunately I signed a year lease so I had to wait quite some time before that dream would become a reality. Well pretty much since Brett moved in we've been looking forward to moving and finding a place that is ours and possibly a place to call home until we actually buy one. Times being the way they are, as things got closer we were starting to think we weren't going to be able to pull off a move, and even knowing that Brett was still combing Craigslist. Well Monday (as he had pretty much everyday) Brett emailed this house that sounded perfect. It was bigger than what we needed but in our price range and in the area we want to be in. I told him if he wanted to look more into it, he could call them and see if it was even still available and get more info on. Well he called and it was still available, so I set up an appointment to go view it. The unfortunate part was that Brett couldn't go to see it until the weekend because of his work schedule. Yesterday I met the lady in charge, Karen, to see the place and I have to say the pictures didn't give it credit. Since Brett couldn't go I was supposed to take pictures and then email them as soon as I got home. The funny part: I was so wrapped up in the place that I forgot until we were walking out and then was running around like a crazy person trying to snap a few shots.
After I left I called Brett and told him how great it was and said that I had told Karen we would get back to her tomorrow with our decision and that we could just talk about it when he got home. After a few more minutes of conversation we both knew we wanted it so I called her back immediately and told her we would be filling out applications and I would get them to her first thing this morning, which I did. After numerous phonecalls throughout the day and my apartment that I'm currently in trying to pull whatever they could even though our lease is up at the end of the month.... and we finally got the call around five that we are approved! The best part is that part of the deal they were doing was free rent for July (which is another reason it was perfect) so we can start moving in ASAP.
Although I would love to start this weekend, especially since I have the week off from school, we had already made plans to go camping and take a little break from the everyday. So next weekend we move! Maybe in the mean time I'll figure out a way to get some hot mover guys to do it for me and for free.... Let me know if you know anyone :O)
