Moving Fun

So I'm using this blog for more than just the career side of my life. I'm not going to share with you the chaos that has been my life the past few months. Okay, maybe chaos is a bit exaggerated...

I'm going to take you all the way back to last August, when my boyfriend of 3 years and 7 months dumped me. After lots of crying, a fun weight loss (the only nice part of an unwanted break-up), and 6 weeks, we reunited and are still together. Things were going amazingly well and we were incredibly happy. PL (again, anonymity to preserve privacy) was visiting his family and I bused down to see them in between Christmas and New Years. When we came back, I basically moved in. We just went to his house and my suitcases haven't left since. So unofficially, we've been living together since January.

In March, he officially asked me to move in, and after lots of difficulties (and paying rent for an empty apartment), I was able to sublet my place. So I moved all my things into my boyfriends place, and the Monday after the weekend I moved, we found out that the owners were selling and we would have to move in 3 months.

So we found a cute house to rent for July 1. We had always viewed it filled with things, so the problems weren't visible until we did an early walk through and discovered that the house was a total shithole. Broken windows, the aromatic smell of dog piss, an ant infestation, an illegal basement suite that we were responsible for renting (so the owner couldn't be held liable, nice), mold problems....it was awful. So we backed out, and incidentally are still waiting for our security deposit to be returned. But I could have a whole different blog on that topic...

And then we finally found a gorgeous 60's bungalow that was in good shape. After a few days of negotiations on the rent, we were able to get it for a great price. It's a three bedroom main floor. We get the backyard and the garage, with a working garage door that we can actually park our car in. I am so excited for this place and every time I think about it, I can't wait to be in it. We move in exactly 3 days, and I couldn't be more excited!
