progress!

Ok you guys. I don't want to make any completely rash, grandiose statements because nothing is for sure yet.... but I'm totally going to anyway.


I FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE IN MONTANA!


*(#&$(*&#$(*&#$*($#&*$FUCKINGFINALLY*(&#$*(#&$!!!!!111111oneoneoenoeneoneoneoenoeneoneone omg. oh MY god.

Have I signed a lease yet?

No.

Have I been down this road and around this block a few times?


Absolutely.


But none of that matters right now because I heard the words "If you want it, it's yours."


Which at all possible angles means THIS PLACE IS MINE.


Of course I'm at least 2000 miles away from it and have never been there, but I couldn't be more excited to call it home. The lovely and life-saving current tenant somehow took pity on me and bumped me to the front of her list of 'maybes' and I ducked out of work to sit on my phone and do a skype tour with her this afternoon. She's a doll and super sad to be moving, but her vacancy is my new place, so I couldn't be more thrilled. Which means I'm barely containing my excitement. Although I probably won't take another deep breath until my signature is on that lease.

Wanna hear about it? I know you do. I promise future pictures by the dozen, but for now, here is what you need to know:

Hardwood Floors
French Doors
Balcony
Dining Nook
Original Wood Built-ins GALORE
Quaint ADORABLE kitchen
Tons of windows to provide oodles of natural light
The heat is paid by the landlord, along with water, garbage, etc.
EXCELLENT location within walking distance to downtown and school.

So basically, this is the perfect place I kept promising myself was going to come along.


And it did.


Finally.


Whew.


And now it's time for me to resume planning and plotting and scheming where I will be putting all my crap, hanging all my pictures, and arranging all my furniture.
