Moving Day - More like ''NO'' Day


Nutshell : AJ and our friend Craig moved ALL of our furniture into our new residence in South Tampa Friday morning. While taking the very last piece inside to the loft, the president of the HOA came around the corner and asked "what are you doing?"


Nut : Fran, the loft owner who we're renting from 'mistakenly' forget about the rules of move in dates.


Cracking the nut : We're not 'allowed' to move in until August 1. After a lot of heartache, tears (by me), and sweat, our new 'home' is the Towneplace Suites by Marriott in North Tampa for the next 20 days. Carepackages and sympathy notes are always welcomed. Room 121 (the cramped room with the dog.)


TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE : I'm trying! AJ is doing a good job of keeping me sane, and Berkley is happy to be anywhere with treats. We like our new trendy loft near downtown, and hopefully all of this trouble will be worth it on our OFFICIAL move in day of August 1. Here's hoping.....and praying.

Girl, if I were you, I would just give up!!! I've always heard that if the doors don't open, it's not meant to be. Are you sure you guys are doing the right thing??

UGH. I would totally agree! BUT I've been burned once already with a previous move in at another location and walked away completely from it, thanksfully!

and now this fiasco took place. I love the place, have thought about it a lot, and 1. there's just no time to get another place in less than three weeks that I'll like and 2. I really do like it. SO if it doesn't work out and I end up hating it, I'll roll with the punches then. I'm just getting good at being patient and learning to be easy going! Stress is bad bad bad!
