Finally!!!

We got an apartment!!!!

I haven't been blogging about it, because it seemed as though every time I blogged about an apartment that I liked, we didn't get it, so I have been keeping quiet (yes, I know its silly, but hey, I am a silly girl).

Last week my parents took me out to look at a few places while Phil was at work. The first place totally lied to me over the phone as to what they had available, just to get me into the place, and from there it was off to the second place.

When you first enter into the complex, the main thing I noticed is that it is surrounded by residential homes, and is very quiet. I liked that a lot, plus the complex almost looks like it belongs in the mountains, with lots of trees and such, very quaint. The staff was super friendly, which many of the places I called were not, and the apartment, although they had no handicap-accessible units available for rent now, will suit me and my chair just fine. It is a one bedroom apartment and although it is on the smaller side (720 sq. ft.), for the two of us for the next year, that will be fine. I filled out the applications, put down the holding deposits, and have been waiting since last week to find out if we got it or not.

Today, finally, the women called and let me know that the manager signed off on everything and we are set to move in as of the 1st! I am very excited, but also nervous. It has been a long time since I last had my own apartment when I lived in Florida, and it will be hard not seeing my mom everyday, since her and I are so close, but this is a great opportunity to finally get out on my own. And my Grandma lives maybe 5-10 mins down the road, so I feel better knowing that if I even run into an emergency, there is someone who could be there to help me.

Now just comes the part I hate....packing and unpacking....
