So we've found a new place to live. It's on the south side of town, so it's closer to the freeway so Josh can cut down on some of his driving down to Tuzigoot. They allow pets, but we're going to wait until we get a better feel for our budget before getting anything. It's bigger (we're adding another bedroom) and they have a small gym, with a treadmill (a necessity now that I can't really run during the winter months). It's pretty much what we've been looking for. . .
So the other shoe drops and now the bad part. We have a week without housing. Our current lease is set to end June 1st, and we can't move into a new place until June 7th. We've rented a garage at the new place for June, and we're planning on storing a bunch of stuff at my sister's place. The other part is that I have to be in Colorado June 1st so I won't be around to help Josh organize the new place. So Josh will be living with my sister for a week, and I'll be hauling some stuff up to Colorado. Right now we're trying to figure out how to coordinate this move so that Josh won't be completely in a mess while we move our life to the other side of town.
Glad to hear you found a place! I know the logistics of the June 1st/June 7th thing will work themselves out! We hope to coordinate our schedule and figure out when we'll be out in Flagstaff, probably after you guys are in Redlands August!

If you look at how Josh lived before you came into his life, all he needs is a bed and a clear path to the refrigerator. Oh, and a toilet. And a big screen TV. I'm thinking there must be something else.
Sorry, with only three days between shifts, that won't give me enough time. I don't have any vacation until the first two weeks of July.

Matt and I may actually be available to help Josh move all the stuff into the new place (if I don't get accepted into a writing program I applied for). We'll try to keep you posted and please don't hesitate to email us for help. Arizona's not really that far.

While Josh may have lived on that before, his tastes seem to have changed. He's planning on turning the extra bedroom into his own personal gym, that is until I get back. But thanks so much for offering to help Applebees! As always we can offer you a "rough" place to stay and pizza and beer for hard work (some things never change)!
