We signed a lease today! Melvin and I just got back from a celebratory dinner as we're extremely excited we landed a 3-bedroom apartment when everyone we spoke to from Vancouver thought it'd be impossible.
Random thoughts are racing through my mind:
- We won't have to move twice (thought for sure temp housing was in the cards)!
- Our kids won't be displaced more than they already would be in a big move...
- We can start changing our accounts to the new address...
- The trip in early June will not be for apartment hunting, but it'll be to check out the new digs...
- Floor to ceiling windows, views from every room, pool/fitness center/kids playground/garden on the 2nd floor, community center one block away (this seems to be a big deal over there), 2 parking spots, organic produce market downstairs, waterfront one block away, 6-acre park across the street, restaurants/bars/clubs galore all around!
- Melvin told me he's going to miss Dominican food today; does this mean I need to learn how to cook moro & pernil??
- Our very close friends will be visiting us the first weekend we are there! How great is that??
Come visit us!! I ordered an Aerobed today :)
PS - Rol & Maeann, we can't thank you enough! We're going to that sushi place when we get there.
so I told Logan today on the drive home that Julian was moving to Canada and he told me that that makes him sad, then a bird flew past the car, and he yelled out look at that bird...
ReplyDeleteI think you should make Melvin learn how to cook DR food! -Moi
