Yes, it’s been a while, but this is because I have been sick with a terrible cold and was in San Diego, CA for a PRSSA Conference. Despite being under the weather, Spencer and I have been able to get the apartment situation squared away. We are both really excited--me probably more--because we found a two bedroom, two full bath apartment in Austin! The apartment is located about 10 minutes north of downtown Austin and is just lovely. Thank goodness for Paula, she was able to physically check out the apartment for us and take a plethora of pictures of the apartment and its property. This helped us in making our final decision, along with a rent price we were willing to pay. Like I have said before, it is hard to make a decision on apartments when we physically are not there to see them for ourselves. Luckily, Paula has been an amazing help. This would have been terribly difficult without her.
Magnolia Court Apartments (http://www.magnoliacourtapartments.net) are where we are looking to settle into once we reach Austin in January. We just sent our deposit and are ready to sign all the paperwork. It's so nice to know we have found somewhere comfortable for us to live in. The apartment will also come equipped with a full-size washer and dryer! Yes, we are really lucky. So along with a dedicated guest bedroom, this means that everyone that would like to come visit us in Austin will have a comfortable stay with us.
On another note, I am also really excited because I just found out Austin has an Ikea, CPK, and Jamba Juice (three of my favorite places). Hopefully this will help with the home sickness I may end up feeling.
Next mission—booking the rental truck!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
