Moving Day Is Coming .....

We have found a new place to live !!! YAY !!

I got a phone call at work on Thursday of last week, to say that one of the 5000 places we had been to had an opening and we were at the top of the list. (Being on a waiting list is tough; I was starting to wonder if we were ever going to get a phone call ...) I answered a few questions that she needed to clarify, and she processed our application. My next call from her was to say we were approved, and we made an app't for yesterday to go and have a look at it.

It's a converted 4 bedroom townhouse -- converted meaning they combined 2 bedrooms into a larger master bedroom, so now it's only 3. It's over 1200 sf, which is bigger than what we have now, and comes with fridge, stove, washer, dryer and dishwasher. The floor plan is pretty straight forward, there's lots of room in the kitchen with an extra bank of cupboards + countertop, and there's a half bath on the main floor, in addition to the main bath upstairs. The best part is having the basement for storage and stuff. Finally I can get my extra tire out of my trunk !!

It's been freshly painted, and the guys were coming to clean the carpet this week as well. Did I mention we get the keys on SATURDAY ???

OH MY GOD !!!

(Sorry ... that was my SH*T I HAVE TO PACK moment ...). We paid our rent over there for April, and since we still have to give a month's notice here (even though our new owner doesn't deserve it ..), we will pay the rent here as well, and take the month to move stuff over. Everything that's a non-essential will go first, leading up to the big stuff at the end. I figure we'll be moved over in 2 weeks, which then gives me time to clean up here.

I already have my "Quality Moving Foreman" all lined up (hi Lily!), but there may not be a lot for her to do, so maybe she'll have to just come over with Mom and Dad after we're in to make sure everything went ok. I'm going to take some pics when we go get the keys, so keep an eye out !!
