Situation Status – Check
Situation Status – Check
May 18I realize that I forgot to post an update about the overall situation. Woops. I seem to have been distracted. Randy and I looked at a place on mother’s day and 2 days later we called and found out we got it. I told him it was the best mother’s day present ever. I went and paid the security deposit the next day and we are expecting a call to find out exactly when we can move in. The people currently living in the apartment are planning to close on a house and their date is currently the 23rd. He said as soon as they are out then we are able to move in even before it is the 1st. So that is exciting for us.
It was a rare gem in the paper. It is a 3 bedroom apartment that includes heat in the rent. We’re in the country next to the county park (a mile or two) and we will be 20 miles from his work place. We are currently 34 or so which means we’re cutting down significantly on the gas costs. We also have a large yard which is great. I can tell you once we get in there I don’t intend on moving for quite. The best part of course is that we get to keep Colby. The apartment was originally $525 and security in the same amount but he agreed that if we paid an extra $75 security and $20 a month rent we could keep Colby which is an absolute STEAL. So that has been my latest excitement. This means we’re going to be moving in like 2 weeks at the earliest or 3 weeks at the latest.
What else… Oh my cell phone is on my parent’s plan and since they’re in a rough spot and not going to be able to pay it the phones were shut off this morning. Randy and I decided to finally take him off of pre-paid and we’re switching to Sprint. We both got Samsung Seek phones. He got red and I got blue. We will have them on Thursday since overnight shipping is guaranteed. I’m also selling my EnV Touch since it’s now useless so it is up on Ebay. That should pay for the 2 phones that we’re getting from Sprint.
Randy and I are doing well overall which I’m glad to say. It’s hard to blog because otherwise things are just super hectic around here. It’s tense because of the entire situation and my parents are very cold towards each other so I sometimes feel like I’m on eggshells. Blah. I just keep reminding myself we’ll be out soon and I’m looking forward to it.
I am glad to hear you found a place. Sounds like an ideal situation for you guys. It’s great that the owner is letting you keep Colby.
This is great news! I am glad this is all finally coming together for you, and I can’t wait to see pictures once you’re all moved in!
I hope the move goes smoothly. I bet you guys are so excited to be getting into your own place again! I’m very excited for both of you.
And congratulations on the new phones — they look quite spiffy!
That’s great news that you found somewhere to live. Its good that you will be out of that environment soon.
The new apartment sounds really great! I like being close to a park, and the yard will be nice for Colby (and Gracie when she’s a little older).
Did you have many problems with the EnV Touch? James got one when we upgraded in February, and he’s already had to have it replaced…I have a friend that’s also had his replaced 3 times in less than a year…
The new apartment sounds amazing and such a great steal, especially since they’re allowing you to keep your dog. I can’t wait to see pictures, I’m sure it’s going to be awesome!
