Today is moving day!!

Today is the day that we move into our new place. We were going to move into Mariner's Wharf here in Orange Park, but after getting here and riding over there. It looks like they have a lot of people out there. We decided that we would look at their sister company across the street called Bridgewater. Yeah that place is a HOLE. The office staff members were nice, but my issue with this place is, the lady told us that they would have a place ready for us in 5 days and that they would show us the place that we would be renting. She also tells us not to be jaded by the way the apartment looks right now, because they are going to clean it up, paint and all of that good stuff. We get to the apartment and OMG that place was a dump!! The carpet was so dirty, it just smelled so bad. Then we move on to the kitchen and the floor is FLOODED and she didn't seem too surprised about that. I knew right then and there, that we were not going to rent this apartment.

We finish the tour of the apartment complex and by this time, I am feeling super bad(this cold is kicking my butt) I let Brian go back inside to get our license, we sat in the car a while and talked about how crazy that place was and how we will not move there.

We decide to go and check out the old complex that we lived in before moving to San Diego. We had no complaints about it, but we knew that they only had 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. We knew that we really needed more room, but we really wanted to be in Orange Park. This apartment complex is close to everything, actually everything is in walking distance. We were just impressed from the start. They had an apartment that was available right then and took us to the apartment and we were happy with what we saw. There was new carpet, new paint and it smelled great in there. We took the apartment, the only reason we didn't move in the next day was because we were locked into(already paid for) our hotel room for a couple of more days.

The next couple of days should get pretty busy. We bought new furniture and it is being delivered today. We are having cable installed on tomorrow so we had to buy a new tv. So much going on!!

Blame it on the cable company. Because of them you just had to buy a TV. Not that you've been looking at them for months now. :)
I hope the move in goes smoothly.

LOL!!! It is kind of good that we waited, but now I am worried that they (Best Buy) will not be here in time, so we may go and buy a small 32" tv tonight.
