Update... so Annie and I were going on Monday to talk to our new landlord of our fabulous Heights house and sign all the paperwork. Since I was not "in the office," I waited around to hear when we were going to meet up and stuff. At about 5:00 p.m., Annie calls me after trying all day to get in touch with Mr. Fabulous (our landlord). "Ummmm.... bad news," she tells me with a slight quiver in her voice, "they're not going to rent us the house." I waited for her to say she was just kidding... but she never did. Apparently, they decided they just don't want to rent it AT ALL. Too bad it's days before Christmas and approximately a week before we were going to move in! As it sunk in, I swear I heard a crack of thunder outside my window. My dreams of living in the Heights were slipping away. Forget that! I'm gonna be freaking homeless! As a coping mechanism, we decided to go to the Flying Saucer. What better way to deal with homelessness than beer, right?
So I spent all day yesterday driving around with Katie (who's also out of school and has nothing better to do than write down phone numbers as we drove by houses) desperately trying to find a house. LUCKILY... we found one very very close to work. It's 3 bedroom, hardwood floors, 2 bath, and it has an extra room off the kitchen that we like to call "the game room." So we're sealing the deal today with the NEW landlord. And when I say "seal the deal," I mean that man will sign the lease in blood. There will be NO backing out this time. Details of a housewarming party to come...
Seriously, I have the worst luck, I swear.
