We signed a lease!

Chris and I came up to KC last night so we could look for apartments. We looked a several places but none could compare to this one apartment complex called The Fairways. For all the amenities, we got a great deal with all the specials they were running. I'm so excited about it! This will be the first place that I really consider mine (or I guess 'ours' too!) since I've been living with my mom since I graduated from UMKC. Sure I had apartments before, but I had a roommate and they were just temporary for the school year. We're going to go back tomorrow morning on our way to breakfast so Chris's mom and grandma can see it and I'll take pictures, but for now if you want to see the complex you can go to http://www.aptsatthefairways.com. A big plus for us was that internet and cable are free for a year with them. Plus there's a beautiful pool, a carwash, and a 3-acre lake stocked with fish. I haven't fished in years but I would love to again even though I sometimes get impatient with it and I've never been able to properly bait my own hook...I've tried and the worm never stays on.

So next Saturday I'm loading up my dad's van and heading west again. I wish Chris could come but he has to work until noon so that might be a little too late of a start if we wait for him since the office closes at 5 on Saturdays. Since he still has a lease and a job until the end of September he's staying in St. Louis until he finds something in KC...keep your fingers crossed! So I won't have much furniture until he moves since I don't have any of my own furniture. I plan on saving up and getting a new living room and bedroom set. It won't be right away of course, but we have enough to go by now. We're heading back to St. Louis tomorrow after breakfast so we can get ready for my graduation/going away party on Sunday. I'm really excited to see everybody, especially since there are some people coming that I haven't seen in a while.

Well that's all for now! I need to remember to keep up with this thing a little better.
