okay so we just got word that we have secured an apartment! it’s all a bit more real! when the call came in, we wrote down the address frantically – almost like we were afraid it would disappear! then we began jumping around like monkeys!  this is real!! and we WILL move in just a few weeks! on the down side – they don’t have a floor plan to send us, and we had to sign the lease w/o seeing the place. move in day will be our first peek.  confession: that causes the control freak in me to totally spaz out. have to not think about that too much… yah right!

we have precious little info, but here are the few details we have:

~ in Manhattan, upper West Side & Harlem

~ 500 sqf

~ it’s a couple of blocks from Columbia U

~ one bed / one bath

~ 5th floor WITH an elevator (thank God!)

~ a 24 hour doorman

~ a stove and a refrigerator, but no A/C (what?!?!  I’m from Florida – we would DIE w/o AC!)

okay. i have waaaay more questions than answers… but i’m getting used to this idea!!
