Finally!
We got an apartment…
Not the one we had decided to take, but one that we visited today, thought was cute (and much more in our price range), located in a really good, central, area of town.
The woman who showed us the apartment informed us that we were the first to see it, and it would be first “confirm,” first “to rent,” so we decided to run to the bank, withdraw money for a deposit, and sign the contract. It is not the sleekest or biggest apartment we have seen, but as Emma rightly pointed out “it has character” which trumped every other “nice” place we have visited so far. We plan to put up photos once we decorate it, but all-in-all, we are very happy with the place (we also have roof access). Another plus- she said we could move in ASAP, so we’ll begin to transfer some of our stuff over tomorrow and we can transition out of the dark, one-bedroom apartment we are staying in now.
It looks like we also have an extra bed, so visitors are welcome!

I’m so excited for you both. Character beats nice anytime. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself for years. Remember my first place in NC, Emma. You could feel the wind, literally, the wind could move the structure. But it was cute! And I have fond memories. I’m so excited to see pictures and then visit. Glad it’s also more in your price range. That always feels good.
