!!

So Tuesday night after tutoring, Saray and I went to see 2 apartments, both in Mercedes Sur. The second one was not so nice and too expensive, but the first one we saw was awesome. We move in two weeks! It's a bit more expensive than where we are now, but it's bigger, cleaner, and most importantly, safer.

The place is pretty stellar, to be honest, and I'm super excited about it. It has two fairly big bedrooms, a nice size kitchen/living room area, a small backyard and a "garage" with room for two cars, complete with an electronic opener. I love it. It's a brand new house, built less than a year ago, so it's in perfect condition. It's in Mercedes Sur, which is a little bit further away from school so it will be a slightly longer commute, but the neighborhood is super safe and the bus stop is a block and a half from my new home.

Furthermore, it is close to where Saray's best friends Jose Mario and Felix live (these gentlemen also volunteered to help us move because they are that fantastic). We are both reallllllly excited and can't wait to move. I think it's going to be great. The people who are there now are moving out on the 20th, so we can move in on the 21st. However, given our work schedules, Saray and I won't be able to move until Friday the 25th.

The only downside is that we paid rent for the place we are at right now on the 1st, we paid the deposit for our new place yesterday, and we will be paying rent on the 21st, so our bank accounts are a little strained right now, but hopefully we will be able to settle in without a problem.

It's going to be an exciting rest of the month, I think, and I'm feeling better about it already.

Hope you are all staying warm. xoxo
