....and the best news? It's Jose's sister's old apartment: the one we had originally wanted back in April of last year but were passed over. Read about it here :)
Jose's sister Elizabeth moved into a bigger house and when her apartment became free, guess who she called up? We turned in an application and made a good impression on the landlord. Our giant deposit & first month's rent was handed over on Friday. Unfortunately, the carpet was still being washed, so we have to wait a few more days to move in. Hopefully there are no more delays and we can sign the agreement and get the keys finally before the weekend. I am beyond excited!! This new place is in a better neighborhood than our current little house, we have more space and a large walk-in closet. Our new place is near a college, so there's tons of little cute restaurants and shops. It has a very hipster vibe to it and the sidewalks are clean. We're on the second floor of the building and face south, so we get a lot of fresh air and sunshine. I'm dreading all the packing but looking forward to the big move and all the unpacking. We can finally have people over and not be embarrassed by the lack of space. It's still a studio apartment, but everything is bigger! No more stand-up shower! A big old tub and a window in every room, including the closet. Love that new paint smell!

Apologizing now if I disappear for a little while, I have tons of packing to do and redecorating. Jose is being extra patient with me as I ask him endless questions about what colors we should use in the bathroom, if he thinks we should buy a new trash can and what shower curtain looks cute. Sorry, but right now, this is my dream apartment and I want it to look just right. Looking forward to our first night in the new place and all the adventures waiting for us in good ol' Eagle Rock :D
