When did we move?  Depends on whom I'm talking to....


So, the last you knew, our move-in date was July 15th, but because our lease said July 1st, we got our son G&T tested and registered for his new school.  Well, by July 15th, the landlord was saying that she STILL couldn't get the dishwasher in, which we had conditioned upon our move.  So, I believe we fumbled to August 1st move-in date, and then, when the week before she was still waffling and started talking September 1st!!!  Well, that made us decide when was the latest that WE wanted to move.  And that's 2 weeks before school starts.  We wanted to start the process on August 20th and told the landlord that.

OK.. so this may sound like a huge inconvenience, but actually, we actually saved like $6000 in rent.  Yeah, we didn't get to live there, but technically there are two factors in our move:

1) My son's start of elementary
2) saving my husband commute time

And the second is only temporary anyway.  So, really, we just wanted July 1st to get the school process started, and we were able to do all that with the lease but didn't have to pay the rent!  So, this is somehow the luckiest and most perfect situation.

Let's hope this move stays that way.

So we moved this past Thursday....
