Dear Mishka
Ross Faculty Housing, free and good for
a month.... remember our first apartment? Well cut it in half and
eliminate the stove and the bedroom. Yep, a double bed literally
fills half the floor space. But the boys are out and roaming
happily. OK really they are under the bed half the time and bored,
but they are out. We are so brain damaged when we get there we
barely set up a litter box before falling over and passing out.
Day 1, we are given a high speed tour
by a woman you would like, she is like us, going 100 miles a minutes
in 7 different directions and stilll stopping to chat with every
third person. I like her. Even if I am lost in about 7.325 minutes
after starting the campus tour. There is fabulous pastry shop hidden
away here on the campus .... but I may never be able to find it
again. Perhaps my croissant radar can pick it up... beep beep beep.
Then the actual apartment. Our speed
tour guide is also the housing person. Carol. Matt briefly
remembers the place she said she might have found. She says it is
indeed tw bedrooms while we are talking on the phone in early
February. The facebook page for spouses raves about it. With no
money but slick talking, I manage to get her to secure it, 3 weeks
early, no down payment, and talked them dwn 200 in rent. 1600 a
month. Lets see what we get, shall we?
We first stop at the model.. a balcony
that wraps around to a fantastic view of the mountins and the
ocean... postcard picture perfect! I suspect ours will not be that
view since we talked them down, hah hah. Inside, huge rooms, vaulted
ceilings, new furniture. We are told an interior designer from Miami
came down and did it for the owner. Then the second floor (two
floors?) More vaulted celings, bright cheery windows, new furniture
and linens.... it's simply incredible. One of the most gorgeous
places I have ever seen. God I hope ours is kinda like this.
Probably smaller rooms and one floor... then she asks how we like
it... and waits. Huh? Waitaminuteaitaminute... this... this is OURS?
Mishka, it's more beautiful than any place I've ever lived. Far
nicer than Sarahs, or Mom and Dad's first place, Matt says.... I
think of how hard we've scratched all these years, how much we've
been unable to afford, and now this place beyond anything I ever
dreamed we would live in. I sat down on the edge of the bed and
burst into tears. I tried not to but I just sobbed. It was like
winning a lottery but no one would take it back, a dream that was
real. Wait util you see the videos. You are DEFINITELY STAYING WITH
US!!!
Love
The Blonde
