We have an apartment!

So we got some exciting news today... we have officially been assigned an apartment in the married housing complex!!! Dan got a call today offering us an apartment. He quickly called me so we could discuss it because the apartment is available in early June, which means we will be paying for it earlier than anticipated, but the housing lady wasn't sure where our name would go on the waiting list if we turned it down. I asked if it was a first floor apartment and we pretty much decided that if it was it was worth the extra month's rent to secure a coveted first floor apartment and to officially have a spot. So he called back, confirmed that it was, in fact, a first floor apartment and agreed that we would take it. She was very nice and offered to try and push back the move in date so that we could not have to pay as much of June after Dan told her we still have a house to rent out. So we should find out in the next few days when the "official" move-in date is. This is super cool for the following reasons:

1- No more wondering if we're going to get a spot in the complex.
2- No more worrying about how the heck I am going to lug two kids up two flights of stairs if we get a third story apartment.
3- We might not have to get a storage unit for our stuff as we may be able to move it straight from the house to the apartment.
4- Lots and lots of time to get things organized in SF before we actually live there.
5- First floor + two kids. Need I say more?

Needless to say, we're pretty excited.

Unfortunately, we also came to the realization today that the property manager we had hired at the end of last week isn't going to work out. He seems like a nice guy and came highly recommended, but he had agreed on some stuff in the beginning that he was trying to go back on and just didn't seem all that interested in us. So, we're back to the drawing board on that one. Trying not to get nervous about the possibility of double mortgage/rent payments...

Cleaning/organizing at the Parish pad is back on track and we're making some progress. Depending on the hour I either feel a)like I'm making good headway and I'm right on track with the moving situation or b)like I will NEVER, EVER get this house in order and we will be packing stuff up at 6 am the morning we are supposed to turn the house over to renters. If you talk to me, I hope you catch me on a day where option a is taking over:)

Loves to all!
