The blog that was two days in the making

Let's start with the simple piece of information, then cover how this changes so many of our plans.

WE GOT AN APARTMENT!!!

On Wednesday Leonard made it his mission to find us a place to live. I sent him craigslist listing after craigslist listing, filtering through so he only had to deal with ones that were pet friendly and within our budget. All my work was in vain it seems, because a few panic attacks later, Leonard found an apartment through another method.

Student housing.

He'd looked into student housing when he was first accepted to San Francisco State, the pricing for a one bedroom was over our budget. Long story short, yesterday he learned that was the price for a delux one bedroom. The standard one bedroom falls well into our budget.

Amazing, right?

Here's the hiccup. It's available on January 13th.

But we already gave our notice for our current apartment. I asked to start at my new job on January 9th.

Here's where it gets interesting.

Current landlord says no problem. We can stay an extra two weeks. My transfer request hadn't been processed yet, so while my general manager was apologetic, I was thrilled. I requested to start at the end of January. This also frees me up to work with my old job at the Fancy Foods show.

It fell into place surprisingly well.

I'm really excited about student housing. I'm excited to live among people who are academically minded, and to have neighbors who will (hopefully) want to know us. It's on the sixth floor, with a view.



So the bad news is we're here two weeks longer. The good news is, we're here two weeks longer!

And we have a place to live. A kind of awesome place to live.

Did I mention it's a one bedroom? And within our budget?
