On the Move

I’m in progress on pulling together a big post about our recent vacation in Lassen with the KT side of the family, but here’s some late breaking news: We’re moving!

It’s been a good 4 years in our south Eugene apartment. Now we are ready for a change, to upgrade our geographic location. We applied with the student housing office for an apartment in their family housing complex, which is just a mile from campus and close to a ton of other useful and fun places, and still close to the stuff we are close to now. Most importantly, it’s on the level. No more huff-n-puff up the hill to get home from a run or a bike ride. (in fact the bike path and the high school track are right next to the complex.) It’s close to the YMCA, too! Just in case you were worried that our fitness would suffer from no longer being perched on a mountain.

So, like I said, our application was in… months went by… then on Friday night BN was checking email and discovered we’d been offered a unit in family housing. We had to notify them of (and pay for) our acceptance by Tuesday. That’s 4 days to decide, two of which were weekend days when we couldn’t get any more info. And they didn’t tell us which unit we would get. Don’t you just love academia?

So, we downloaded the map of the complex and speculated and weighed pros and cons and lived in suspense until yesterday, when we found out our unit was on the west side, which is what we wanted, and upstairs, also a plus. So we’re going to move this week! I hate the upheaval of moving but I’m excited to be in our new spot.
