No, your eyes aren’t fooling you on the subject name of this post.. BRAD AND I ARE MOVING!

I shall try to sum this up as short as I can but I tend to ramble and it gets a “mile” long haha. OKIE. Wednesday afternoon, Brad had just gotten home and I was about to start cleaning the animal cages when his Mommy called and he looked at me while he was on the phone with her and quietly said, “Go get dressed” And I’m thinking wtf??? Yenno? I go get dressed and when he gets off the phone with her, he says that she had found an apartment duplex for us to look at and she was already there and for us to come see it! So we rush to get ready to go and head off to Red Bay. I was thinking eh.. apartment duplex, ew.

Meet up with Brad’s Mom and the renter. Apparently, the other apartment belongs to the owners and they live in Wisconsin and only stay in that apartment when they come down to visit family and whatnot. OMG, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! The duplex itself looks pretty new. Soo we checked it out inside and Brad’s Mom asked us what we thought of it. We both LOVED it. Told her we wanted it!!!! The windows are black and nice / new looking. It has 2 (nice sized) bedrooms, 1 bathroom, ALL TILE FLOOR!! A huuuge air conditioner unit in the living room, wall heaters, A BRAND NEW STOVE (since the mexicans that lived there previously had the other stove so filthy + nasty they just HAD to buy a new one, ewwww) OMG each bedroom has a HUGE closet that actually have DOORS to them instead of the regular sliding doors or sometimes closets don’t have doors or anything. Have a place in the kitchen for washer and dryer hook up when we get one. LOTS OF CABINETS AND DRAWERS IN THE KITCHEN, WOOT!! Has a door in the kitchen that opens up to our PANTRY! We also have a little coat closet! There’s a doorway that leads towards the bedrooms and that doorway has a sliding door that closes! I thought that was really, really nifty. The bathroom also has a little mini wall heater in it! :D

Sooo Wednesday evening, Brad’s Mom calls the renter and tells her we WANT IT. There was already another guy wanting to buy it ASAP but haha! He didn’t show up Wednesday to look at it and we got it first! WOO. My MIL (Brad’s Mom, course) said she’d pay our first months rent and the deposit! I was like.. wow, wow, wow. Thursday morning, she went and paid him the money then she went out and bought little things for me and Brad for the place! OMG HOW SWEET IS SHE?! She got us a doormat for outside our front door, a new mop bucket, cleaning supplies, A LITTLE BAR type table for our kitchen, (since we don’t have much room in there for a bigger table) um some rubber gloves for when i clean, a scrubber/sponge type thing, a clothes hamper for our bathroom!!!! I don’t even know how to say how grateful I am to her. So then, I was thinking about how we would get our power and water turned on and she said if we’ll pay the power, she’ll pay to have the water turned on! She went Thursday afternoon, paid the deposit and yesterday evening (well, earlier tonight) when we went back over to the apartment, THE WATER WAS ALREADY ON!!! OMG! Brad is gonna go and pay the power this afternoon right after he gets off work SO HOPEFULLY our power will be turned on TODAY AS WELL! OMG OMG OMG. I’m gonna go over to the apartment when Brad gets home and I’m gonna CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN that place EXTRA GOOD. Saturday we start MOVING! My Mommy has already said that I CAN HAVE MY BED!!!!!!!! YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME! We’ll have a bed UP OFF THE FLOOR AND A VERY, VERY COMFY ONE! We’ll go and get the bed Saturday probably and then go from there! Start moving things from here @ the trailor to the apartment! We need to ORDER DSL!!! So when we get that in, we can call and cut off our POS dial-up, HAHA GOODBYE DIAL UP! Also need to get a new phone number, call all the companies and tell them our new address and SO many other things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole thing still HASN’T completely sunk into my brain just yet. WE’RE MOVING INTO AN AWESOME COZY APARTMENT?! MOVING THIS WEEKEND?! Just utterly amazing. This came out of NOWHERE.. and it’s all thanks to Brad’s Mommy for searching, searching and searching for places for rent for us for the past almost 2 months. She told us she’d have us out of this trailor and into another place before Christmas and BOOM, we are indeed moving! I CANNOT FRIGGIN WAIT. I cannot wait to live in a nice looking apartment with a new stove, COMFY BED, an ACTUAL WORKING KITCHEN SINK to where I can WASH MY DISHES THERE and not in the BATHROOM sink like i’ve had to do for the past year, big closets to hang all of our clothes and things in. We have a nice little front yard with a few little trees and the backyard is a good size with more trees and we get an EXCELLENT view of the sky!! Best of all, we live right behind Fred’s dollar store.. we can walk there! I’m thinking of getting a job there and I COULD WALK to and from work!!! Also, there are no houses across from the duplex or on either side of us! One side of us is the railroad track that’s never used anymore and on the other is a little junkyard SO YAY, we can play our music still fairly loud and not have to worry about some nosey neighbor peeking around at us all the time. We’re gonna be living right down the road from Brad’s Grandparents (Mom’s side) and since we’ll live IN Red Bay, Brad will save money on gas since it’ll only take him like literally a few MINUTES to get to work instead of 15-20. He can also sleep a wee bit later in the mornings instead of having to get up at 4:30-5AM every morning.

I can’t even tell you how much I am really, really, really looking forward to this. I’LL HAVE DSL AGAIN?! OMGGGGGGGGG. Can you tell I’m excited yet?! WOOT. And again, I’m stuck with the word WOW. WOW, WOW, WOW. I’m so happy. I can’t wait to get over there today and CLEAN! We’re gonna move all we can this weekend and that would be LOOOVELY IF! We could have everything moved by Monday.

YAY IT’S FRIDAY! Pay day and the start of the WEEKEND. I could say soooo much more about our apartment but I don’t wanna ramble too much, lol. I’ll share more and more eventually!!!

SO EXCITED!!!!! :grinny:
