New Development

So many posts in so little time! What is going on?

I just feel chatty.  And I need to do something so I can be productive while procrastinating.

Yeup.


So... something interesting happened the other day.


Lance and I were supposed to get the keys to our new apartment on Wednesday.  On Tuesday, the day before, we were supposed to be able to walk through our apartment.  We also were supposed to get some documents to electronically sign, but we never got them.  Lance called them and finally was able to talk to someone.  And there was a problem.

A very big problem.


The people who were in our apartment were refusing to leave and hand the keys over until the end of the month.


Can people do that?  I guess there's nothing the complex can do. Maybe it ruins those renters' credit, or maybe they'll have a hard time getting approved for a future apartment. Who knows.

Anyway, big problem, right?


We had 2 options.


A. Move into our apartment The second week of August.

Um, no.  Then we'd have to screw over our current apartment complex. Not cool.


B. Rent a different apartment in the complex that happens to be $120 more per month than the one we were planning on.



Gross, right?



The apartment complex felt really bad, and so they "split the difference" of the more expensive apartment. They told us if we were willing to pay $60 more per month, we could get the nicer apartment and still move in on the day we were planning.


So, we agreed.


This really works out in our favor because this apartment is way better than the one we were going to have.

The old apartment was 2nd floor, this one is 1st floor.

The old apartment had a teeny tiny kitchen, and no microwave included.  This apartment has a bigger kitchen  with upgraded (black!) appliances, and a built in microwave. (Even more counter space, yay!)

Brand new carpet.

Faces east, which is nice so we don't get the heat in the evenings.


Overall, it's a sweet deal.  For now.  I'm sure once our 1-year lease is up, we'll have to go back up to the original price, plus whatever more they want to change.


Please bless we don't have to move in another year.


If they charge us too much, I'm going to say eff it and move to Celebration.



*Dance break*
CELLLLLLEBRATION
Let's celebrate, it's alright. We're gonna have a good time tonight.



Anyway, we walked through our new and upgraded apartment yesterday, got the keys today, and Lance has already started doing laundry.

Hallelujah!
