I am finally living with Tarzan and my 3 kitties in Illinois! There was a lot of drama to get here, but that is now over and we are settling in. Remember the picture of the house a few posts back? Well that's not the house we are in....as I said...a bit or rather a lot of DRAMA. To make a long story short -that house didn't work out because the owner's lawyer son was a nutjob. We walked away from that house the day after Tarzan signed the lease, got the key and checked out of the hotel....yes I couldn't believe it either. Then T was on the hunt to find us a new house....found one down the road...brand new, builder couldn't sell it, so was going to rent it to us. Then he started treating us like we were trailer trash, said he could come over and inspect the property anytime, demanded a $2000 deposit for the cats, which turned out not to be a deposit, but a non-refundable fee. Anyway we walked away from that house too. 2.5 weeks ago we didn't have a house, yet we needed to be out of our house in MI because the German family was moving in on Sept. 1st. We put all of our boxes in storage and were about to call the movers to move our furniture to storage the next day. The cats and I were going to go live with my mom temporarily until Tarzan found us a house. Well destiny intervened.
Tarzan sat down on a Sunday night at 6pm and got on the computer for a few minutes. I was hounding him to keep working because it was "only 6pm"..haha. Well he found this house that seemed incredible, was on the phone for 45 minutes with the guy, had such a good feeling about the house that he filled out the application and negotiated the lease that evening. I went to Kroger and faxed it at 8:30 that night. Tarzan drove all night to get back to Chicago to meet the guy and see the house. It was perfect, he signed the lease and got the key right then and there. Now for those of you who have been reading my blog for 4 years now understand that my husband doesn't make fast decisions. Well apparently when push comes to shove he can make them really fast! We have a house and it's wonderful. However we are eating on paper plates because all of our boxes are still in storage. We are going back to MI this weekend to get a Uhaul and get all of the boxes.
Kitties and I drove out on Sunday to IL and they did so great in the car. I was so proud of them for behaving and relaxing; I guess they finally trust me enough - lol.
