Happy late New Year!! I've been wanting to write in here but then feeling unmotivated to do so. So far the beginning of the year still has had it's roller coaster moments, but we've been working through them.
We were still playing the waiting game and it was definitely taking a toll on my patience and I was taking it out on Kasey. I have been completely selfish. I need to sit back and remember, everything that I am going through, Kasey is going through too. I use words like "I" and "me" too often, and when I'm complaining to Kasey I sometimes forget to ask him how he is doing with everything; he is the one always comforting me, and not the other way around.
I definitely feel that since our talk the other day, things have definitely lightened considerably and I am a little less tense with everything, with Kasey's support, and everything has moved to excitement :) That's right! We finally will have a place to live as of this Friday! We had been waiting for a couple of weeks for things to fall into place with this town home that we wanted and it finally did.
We had looked at an apartment, Peacher's Mill, previously during that day because it was the only one we had heard back from that would allow up to 100lb dogs. However it still did not allow German Shepherds. Kasey and I had decided to get his dog first, the Weimeraner. It can get up to about 70lbs or so. It was a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment and it wasn't so bad, but there was this feeling that was irking me, and I had started thinking about this other place that we had previously called on that said they had a town home available. While we were looking at the Peacher's Mill apartment, we inquired again about the dog policy and she then said that it was a 50lb weight limit and that she wasn't so sure about the kind of dog we wanted, even though she also said that someone else in the apartment unit had that kind of dog. She also said they used to allow huskies, but that was before the weight limit change and that we would have to get a miniature if we wanted that.
So we filled out an application since she said she would look into the Weimeraner for us, but we didn't pay the $100 holding fee. Kasey and I decided to call the other place with the town home, The Residence's, back. It would be available January 25th. They didn't have an available place to show us, but said they had pictures on their computer they could show us, so we drove over there and looked at them. The place was so much better, seemed so much cleaner, more open, more around everything, we wouldn't have to worry about people in an apartment above us, and so on. And they allowed Weimeraners. So we filled out an application there and decided we would put the $100 holding fee on that. And all we had to do was wait for them to run our application and to get into the Army help program to get the place as well.
The next day while Kasey was at work, I took Jessica with me to show her the area of the Peacher's Mill apartment. And as we drove by, we not only saw a full grown husky outside with their owner walking it, but a legit purebred (beautiful I might add) Pitbull. I got SO mad. Not that I have anything wrong to say about Pitbulls, but if they are the number one dog on the vicious breeds list not allowed at apartments and this apartment would make an exception for that, then why would they not make an exception for my German Shepherd that I want to get? It definitely made me feel a little easier about going to The Residence's.
So last Friday, we went in as The Residence's had requested us, and we started the application process and had to go back and forth from them to the post to apply for the RPP program (the army housing help program) and finally we signed the lease and are able to move in on this coming Friday! We haven't even technically seen the place, besides the pictures of what it would look like, but really, I don't care at this point. We will have a place to call home while we are here. It's a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath town home and I am ecstatic.
Once we get to check it out, I will have to take pictures and post them on my facebook page or something. I can't wait to decorate it and finally get all of my stuff out of storage. And then, we will get our puppy!! Yay! :)
