Transferred my soul today

I think it only takes one signature to sign over your soul, but I counted at least 11 signatures and 8 initials. We officially rent an apartment at Regents Park of Troy. 😯

We got a nice one bedroom one point five bath with a nice little laundry room and breakfast area in the kitchen. The total square footage is up from 950 sq.ft. to 1050 sq.ft. but the apartment overall seems smaller. Maybe since there’s no more separate den which means I’ll probably put my study in the formal dining area and figure out a way to separate it from the living room. I’m gonna miss the place I’m in now though. I always thought I’d just live here for 4 years. I’ll miss the nice solid cement floors and ceilings; the view of the river; the aura of high-rise living in urban downtown (but only on a good, safe day); the shoddy personnel and security gate. What I’ll probably miss most though is the short drive to school which went from 10 minutes max to 25 or more depending on traffic. Sigh.

Not all is lost however. Our new place is practically brand new with all new modern styling, fixtures, appliances, and oh yeah, underground parking. We’ll finally have a full-size washer and dryer with a separate laundry/storage area. The heating and cooling can be used year round too instead of having only heating or cooling at one time during a warm spring or cold fall. Our building is not on the side with the club house but we’ll still have access to an indoor pool, sauna, workout room, children’s playroom :P, theatre room, library/study, blah blah blah. There’s plenty more places to go and eat around Troy and lastly, it seems a lot safer.
