Moving on up...to the east side...

So, I guess after talking with my sister, Penguin finally was on board with looking at apartments. Originally we wanted a house, who doesn't, but not many people are willing to rent out their homes to someone with a dog, let alone 2 dogs. So...since I got put on call Sunday night, bright and early Monday we went apartment shopping. We actually went for a drive Sunday night and looked at the areas and rated the apartments based on what we could see from the outside, and then today we actually got to see the insides of them. So, after looking at like 5 complexes that we knew took dogs, we settled on one. The best part is, it is 2 blocks from where I work, close to 22 for when Penguin has to go to work, has a pool, takes both our dogs, and they were able to work some deals to make it impossible for us to say no:) We did however not jump as soon as we looked at it, we did want to make an educated decision and see all of our options first. Because I work for Lehigh Valley Hospital, we received a 10% discount on our rent, and then because apparently I am "a sweet polite young lady" the leasing agent took half the rent off of the dogs (IE we pay for one instead of 2) and then took half off the application fee (IE we paid for one applicatant and not 2). To top that off, we get to move in mid July which is exactly when we were looking to move, and while we are definitely living within our means...yes, we did learn a lot living in AZ, rent and utilities can be paid solely by Penguin's paychecks, we can continue to use mine to cover our bills and possibly start saving. So, that is the story morning glory. The apartment complex also has lots of room to walk the dogs, and is surrounded by a development for when I feel comfortable enough to try a new place to walk the dogs. So...here, take a look at our new home sweet home...when there, click on one bedroom floor plans, then scroll down to east model. We will be living on the east side...
