Moving Plans
This weekend Chris and I went to the bay area and drove all over town looking at about ten different places trying to find out new home. It was a bit crazy, but at the same time very exciting. We settled on a place called Palm Terrace in Concord. It’s about a 45 minute drive or BART trip to downtown.
Its hard to know when you only have two days to look around to know if it’s the right choice and the right part of town, but I think we are both satisfied with what we decided on. The apartment itself is a nice three bedroom town home that is very private and updated, and you can’t bet the price for it. There is a downside to it however. No pets allowed.
So, while it may be home for now, it will not be forever. This give us time to get there, get settled, and find a home we can rent so we can bring out Chey Chey. Unfortunately this also means I have to find Ike a new home. I have come to love that cat, but everything in the bay area that excepts pets is upwards of 300 more a month, plus much more in security deposits. And for just how quickly this whole move is taking place, that extra money just isn’t there for him to come with sadly.
The place we decided on however is a short two block walk to the BART station so that will make it easy for us to get around town and not have to worry about driving in the traffic, finding parking, or anything else so that will be nice. We hopped on and took it into downtown just to see what it was like and it was actually a very nice ride. I was impressed with the cities public transit. By far better then anywhere else I have ever been. Just seems to be planned out, and funnel the masses into the right direction well.
We should find out in the next day or two if we got approved for the apartment. I am already breathing a lot better and able to sleep a bit more soundly without this constant panic in my head, and once we get the okay that will get even better. Now it’s just a matter of packing, enjoying our Disney world trip, and then actually moving. Be interesting to see how this all plays out, but things seem to be coming together finally.
