Hi ladies!
It seems like this board has been pretty slow recently. This has been a week from hell.
For those of you that know about me, I did accept the job offer this past Monday. I start on May 23. I am so excited. My Dad is coming down here to help me take my stuff back and follow me so I am not driving alone. H will probably join me Memorial Day weekend as he has a project he has to finish up at work before he gives his notice.
With the good news of me accepting the job, came some bad news. On Monday morning, I was heading to the gym when I heard water running. We live in apt where the hot water tank is inside the apt. I was pretty sure it couldn't be ours b/c they just replaced it when we moved in there in November. I opened the closet door and water was pouring from the ceiling. The second floor water tank was leaking and leaking bad.
Long story short, if I wasn't home, we would have lost everything. I was able to get maintence out there asap and had to call H home from work. I was in total panic mode unplugging the electronics and moving stuff out of the way. We have renters insurance, but I think everything is going to be okay. I will have to have the couch cleaned once we get moved and find a place of our own b/c it got wet before I could move it out of the way. The only room that wasn't affected was the master bedroom. The ceiling almost fell through in the living room but they placed a board there to hold it up.
We went round and round with the apt complex, but the good news is they are letting us out of our lease early due to the conditions. And they are not replacing the carpet, so there is no dealing for us on staying there until the end of the lease. Our friend from church is letting us stay with her (her husband is in Afghanistan) and store our stuff in her garage b/c they don't park their cars in it. We are just so thankful that this whole thing isn't costing us a small fortune if we had to stay in a hotel for a month.
