I was so worried, too. Honestly, it was probably the biggest stress in my life. We looked at some apartments online and the floor plans were all wrong, the location was awful, bah! We found one in an excellent location, but when we went to see it, it wasn't anything like we wanted. The cupboards were chipped, the tiles were cracked, and it was a lower level, so the windows were all up near the ceiling. The bedrooms were small, and to top it all off, it cost more than where we are living now! So it was out, and all optimism kind of went out the window with that one, too. Although, at this point, we were still in contact with a building manager of another place slightly closer to the university. But, that one didn't seem to be working out either, because the room we were supposed to get was one out of eviction, and the woman was a mad woman looking to slay anyone who came within her stronghold, so we couldn't view it!
But at last! Haha, ladies, at last I go a hold of this building manager, and he said he couldn't show us that suite after all. Great. BUT! He had one that had just opened and was renting as of February 1st. Okay, sure, we'll come see it! So, we finally got to come down to take a look, and... kids. Come on. It was incredible. It was exactly everything we'd always been looking for and more.
The carpeting is exactly like where we are now, but the flooring in the kitchen/dining room was brand new! And the appliances, new. Cupboards? Wood, not painted! Counter space in the bathroom, storage space, a sunken living room AND bedroom! It has a balcony with a private entrance and wall so nobody can even see you when you're on it, unless they are in the back yard which our living room window FACES! It doesn't face another building, it faces a yard! Yayayay! It's on the second floor, security people! It has enormous closets, an open concept, and the biggest master bedroom I have ever seen in a home! It's spectacular! And, the rent is absolutely exactly the same as where we are now! To the dollar! Utilities included! AND to top the whole thing off, the building has a hot tub room, with tiles and a sunken hot tub (it looks like a little miniature heated pool, actually) and a sauna! GAH!
And, the location is perfect. It's minutes from the university, it's right on the main strip, so my family can visit whenever they want because, heck, they never have to turn the steering wheel! It's a straight line!
Can you believe this? It's like, our sacrifice called upon God in such a way that he blessed us beyond anything imaginable! Things are turning around! The only loose end was that I had to get the lease changed to Feb 1, but that's no problem and it's in the works right now! I could just rejoice for absolutely the rest of time, I really could. I'm so excited, everything is going to be alright after all. It is, praise the Lord!
Now we're just waiting for our applications to be processed, and we're in like flin! That should take until about middle of next week, but we've got a cash deposit down on the place already, so if all paperwork goes smoothly, it's ours!
It's ours! It's my very own place that I don't have to share with anybody messy, or irritating, or loud, or who has bad taste in music and decor! I could just cry. I could cry! I never have to hide anything again!
*pant*pant*pant*
Please click the image for a larger view (and so you can see the measurements of the freakin' huge master bedroom!) The only difference is that there's actually a giant closet in the bedroom, too. Hehe! And, it looks even more beautiful in person, it really does. I can't wait to show everyone!I can't wait for you to see it!
