A new home for Kimbo?

Phil and I found a really nice apartment in Mesa, not too far from where my parents live, that we have a hold on and will be viewing tomorrow, as well as giving them our application and seeing if we are approved. It is a two-bedroom apartment, that is also handicap-accessible. There are bars in the bathroom and wide doorways, and under the sink in the kitchen has been gutted so I can roll right up under it, which is going to make life so much easier. It is a very nice complex, pretty big, with four pools and 6 different lakes which I was told even though fishing is not allowed, they don't police it, so as long as we release what we catch, we can do it as much as we want. The rent each month is very affordable for us, in fact it is normally higher but we are getting a special deal, which is even better. So today I am filling out the application that I downloaded and printed from their website, and getting together the necessary proof of income for both of us, so we are all set tomorrow. So keep your fingers crossed!

I am looking forward to us getting our own place, even though there is a part of me that knows it is going to be hard for me to pack up from here and leave. I have only spent a short time on my own when I lived in Florida and had my own apartment, and then once we moved back here I moved back home for financial reasons, then had to go on disability, which does not make me enough to live on my own. I have become accustomed to living at home and having certain things done for me, and with my mom and I being so close, I am going to miss not seeing her on a daily basis. But it is good for me, it is time for me to be in my own home. I find that there are times I get frustrated living here, not because I don't like being with my family, but because I long to have my own space, and do things they way I want to do them. At 28, I should have been out of the house a long time ago, but life throws you curves and you have to roll with it, and being at home has been something that I have been grateful for, because at least I have a nice place to live. But it is time for me to be on my own, and Phil and I are looking forward to having a home of our own. It is just another step for us, and something I can't wait to take. I just am hoping and praying we get approved for this apartment tomorrow, although I really don't think there is going to be a problem. I suppose because I want it so much, I just worry. But I will let you all know tomorrow what the outcome is.
