I said I never would move again until the school life was over. That was until we put the remnants of our 3 bedroom *huge* half of a house into a tiny 2 br college apartment and then lived for 5 months.
The landlord found out that our lease (which we subletted) was up at the end of July and they wanted to know what they could do to convince us to stay...
Our reaction was shock. I mean really... someone cares about keeping good tenants?
The property owner drove us around and like suckers we fell for the big 2br apartment that we will be paying an extra 100 bucks a month for. In the building that they don't advertise because it's 'reserved' for grad students and more mature people.
I don't care. the kitchen is HUGE. It has cabinet space! And room to put a table inside the kitchen and 2 hutches if I wanted... and I do want....
We discovered that our stove here doesn't work the first week we tried to warm up a pizza... ugh. And besides that, the kitchen is so small that we have things standing on counters... and I'm a ceramics minor... this was bad... But the best thing is that there is a DISHWASHER holy freakin moly!
I could even get an apartment sized washer that hooks up to the sink and put it in the kitchen. And if we can sublet the apartment we are in now and get them to sign a lease, then woohoo, we dont have to wait until july to move. rock on.
The bedroom is huge, there are his and her's walk in closet (sold!)
I'm ecstatic. So much so that I don't mind moving. It's less than mile from our current place, so there's really not a whole lot of 'packing' to do, we are just going to shuffle it from one place to the next.
The community garden is doing well and it has rained almost every day that we couldn't get up and see them. We really need to get up there and plant the rest of the garden. I wanted to square foot garden the whole thing, but we are supposed to be planted by next week, so I think we may just break down and put rows in.
I take my final in psychology tomorrow morning, and then we head out to Michael's parent's house and take care of the carpets. It's mothers day weekend and we've been helping here and there on different areas in the house.
Monday morning it's job hunting...
that's all i got for now.
