Well, I mailed our lease and security deposit today, so it's official. We'll be living at 3116 N. Clifton. Very exciting!
By the way, though, renting an apartment is expensive! We had to pay the first month's rent ahead of time, a security deposit that is the same as a month's worth of rent, PLUS another half a month's rent security deposit for Lucy. It felt like putting a down payment on a house. How do people right out of college manage that? Do their parents help them out or what?
So, Kelly will be commuting into Chicago for a month and will move in to the apartment on August 1st. I'll come occasionally to move in and then join her there mid-September. Kevin will be up as often as he can.
Plan on visiting!
Dad brought a knife block and a pretty good set of dishes from one of his houses. We can definitely add to the dishes (I love mixing and matching!) but I don't think we'll need to buy a set- we pretty much have what we need! I think all we'll really need to get is a set of pots and pans, a toaster oven (I'm a little obsessed with them) and an arm chair/love seat at some point. I'm so excited!!!
