New home
We got the place at Westgate Apartments!
Success! Huzzah! We have a place to live!
I got the call yesterday. And thanks to working for a preferred employer, there's no security deposit AND the leasing agent sneaked us into their latest promotion so we get the first month rent-free.
That's $3,000 back in our pockets. We think we'll take a grand for a living room set and maybe a Wii.
The lease is on its way to Rosemary for her to sign, and then it'll be waiting for me when I move in July 28. I'll drive to Philly on the 29th, and the next day we're outta the City of Brotherly Love. I'll still have the 31st to finish up things at my place in Bristol, and then it's bliss.
So, maybe we throw a get-together for Rosemary's last night in Philly?
So looking forward to this! On the phone Rosemary and I discussed walking down to West Hartford Center and catching dinner and a movie our first night there. And then we realized that for groceries we have Stop and Shop and Whole Foods within walking distance, and Trader Joe's a short drive away. We'll go for walks every day, Rosemary will use the apartment complex's pool, find a local restaurant to eat in once a week. Yes!
We have to find a credit union for a joint account, look for furniture, find Rosemary a gym, figure out what goes into storage, figure out how we'll design the place, get Coffy a new cage, all of that. It's gonna take a while - as soon as we move in, I'm off to Tampa for NABJ and then Rosemary's back to Philly for business - but that's half the fun.
Woo hoo!
