Sorry for the delay in posts, folks! Work has been extremely busy and I unfortunately had to do more apartment searching. Two days after signing the lease on the beachfront property, I got a phone call from the management company informing me that the bank was foreclosing on the apartment! This was an episode of extremely bad luck for me considering that Australia really wasn't impacted too much by the global financial crisis and their housing market has remained stable. The management company informed me that I was welcome to still move in, but I could be asked to vacate on 14 days notice. No, thank you. If there is anything I hate more than giving up an apartment with a huge terrace on the beach, it is moving (which might sound surprising since I've had 9 different addresses since graduating college...) So I cancelled the lease and got a full refund. Feeling bummed, I took a weekend off from the apartment search and ventured out again last weekend. I found a beautiful apartment about five minutes from the beach, two minutes to the park and thirty minutes door-to-door to work. When Adam arrived yesterday, we signed the lease!
And, yes, you read that correctly...Adam's here!!!!! I couldn't be happier. We're off for a run in the botanical garden, but we'll write again this weekend. Stay tuned...things will be much more exciting now!
