We seen the apartment this afternoon and it was nice. We filled out an application and are just waiting to hear back from them. It's only a block from here, so we're still pretty close to everything. It didn't have a balcony, but that's o.k. Sam and I seen a fenced in yard when we were leaving, so there is still a spot where we could have BBQ's and stuff. It's on the top floor, but pretty close to the door anyway. It has very separate areas for everything. Our current apartment is kind of everything together, dining, living and kitchen. This place is alittle different. you walk into the living room and then to the left you walk into the kitchen, where there is room for a table and dishwasher, washer. To the right of the kitchen is the bedroom, which is alittle smaller than our current bedroom, but still large enough for our stuff. Around the corner is a linen closet and then the bathroom. The apartment is painted a light beige instead of just plain white, which I like. I went and ordered some cheques alittle while ago. I told the lady why I was ordering them and she said to change the address on them after I move. I asked her if they would still be valid and she said they would, so I'm hoping that works out o.k. The smallest book of cheques that I could order was 50!! I don't need 50 cheques! That will last me 4+ years! I wouldn't use them for anything other than rent. I've never had them before, but this way we don't have to deal with care takers, (who lives downtown BTW). Did I mention that it's month to month!! Well it is, and I'm pretty happy about that. The lady said that Colpitts developments just took over and they may actually replace some things before we move in, she wasn't to sure how they operate b/c the switch just happened last week. The carpet wasn't that nice, but I have my blue one and she said that it would be cleaned before we move in, so...as long as it's not dirty the color of it doesn't matter. It is really security locked, much better than this place, there is an intercom, not just a buzz. O.k....I'm pretty excited about this place...but I swear that I'm not imagining this...while we were waiting for Janet to arrive...I heard a dog bark!! So someone else in the building is also hiding a dog! Woohoo!! Janet said that she was heading over to drop the application off, so we might hear back relatively soon. My cheques will take 5 business days to arrive though, oh well I'll figure something out. Wish me luck in getting the apartment. Write later. :)
