The search is over.

Apartment update: we saw the 1 br + den model at the Brittany in Pikesville today. It is currently going full standard renovation prior to being leased to new residents. While there were doors and shelving units all piled on the carpet, fresh paint was being applied and the appliances were being checked over. It looks a bit a mess right now, but will be completely done by the time we move in. Which should be the first week of July. Very spacious, a nice, clean little community, and my studio will overlook the pool area, which gets great light. So, there's that.

Also, this morning I stopped in the 7-11 on the corner for some coffee. I used to stop by that particular 7-11 fairly often, as I'd get coffee to warm my hands on the way to work maybe two or three times a week. The girl who works the morning shift has always been pleasant to me. When I walked in, she said "Hi! It's been a long time since I've seen you. I was worried." I explained that I'd been in NM and would likely be living just around the corner very soon. "That's great," she said. "I'm glad you are okay."

Such a little thing, really, but it honestly made my day.

"I'm glad you are okay."

Sometimes, it really is the little things that make a community real.

ETA: Your subject line has tuned my head-radio to "sappy 80's love songs." Thanks. pbhttt.

Ooh that apartment sounds great and I'm sure it will be so nice to move in someplace that's just been shined up a bit with a fresh coat of paint! I'm excited for you!

Awesome on both counts!

$1,100/month. Very reasonable for this area, since it's not in the city.

For the square footage, it was fantastic. It's 1,200 sq. foot. Most 1 br apts around here (which avg about 950 sq. ft) are about the same. But we're about 20 mins out of the city proper; it gets more and more expensive the further you go in.

It's 1 br (15x14), 1 den 9x10, we're using it as a studio), 1 living room (bigger than that, but not quite as big as the bedroom), bathroom, kitchen, and a few closets. The bedroom is HUUUUUUGE.

Congrats on the new place, and the little thing. :)

You KNOW we want pictures! (which is admittedly unfair, since I never post personal pictures. Not that I mean not to, it's just that figuring out how to is more than my brain can handle.)

[nalathilion.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Now the decorating plots ensue!

Congrats on finding a place! I'm sure you, Jason, and the cats will be very happy....

And yes, random acts of nice-ness are always needed....

YAY APARTMENT! I can't wait to see it. It sounds ideal.
And I love the 7-11 story. Reminds me of my days working the Sbux drive through, and the people I could recognize by voice :)

Ooooh congrats on the new place! :D
