Curses are really blessings at inopportune times

Sometimes curses are blessings at really inopportune times.

So for the last 3 weeks we have been worried about moving. Our last apartment decided to not renew our lease due to the fact that our apartment keeps flooding every time it rains on the window: and each time we expect them to fix it: which they sort of do. Mind you: my spouse is a water restoration tech, so we are well aware that they are breaking a BUNCH of laws in our city by NOT doing it properly. Anyhow, we got the notice Sept 2nd.

So I spent the next week and a half frantically searching for a place that was in our budget and would accept our 70 lb bulldog(who thinks he weighs 25 lbs). I called 200 apartment complex's. The market in Colorado Springs, for apartments has shot up 200% in the past 6 months. That's insane! The area where we were living(not a nice area mind you) was increasing their rent to a level that was unheard of. After looking and looking and worrying that we wouldn't find something in time, there was a light in the tunnel.  We found a place. It was perfect. It accepted dogs(after meeting them), was individually owned and was ready to be moved into. We put in our application: they only accept one applicant at a time.  We were accepted, paid all the necessary fee's, and moved in this weekend with the help of a friend.

I have barely sniffed or sneezed this weekend. Unsurprisingly the only times I sniffed and sneezed, were when we went back to the old apartment to get stuff. Our new apartment is as allergen free as I can hope.  We have wonderful, sweet neighbors, a park across the street, open space within .5 miles of the apartment, a wood burning fireplace, a washer and dryer, and a dishwasher. We are in heaven.

Happy Monday Everyone!
