Sometimes, when things happen, they happen quickly. Today was one of those days.
For some time now, I’ve been hoping that maybe Ceecee would be willing to look for a different place to live. Where we are now is a great place in many ways, don’t get me wrong.
We picked it out together, even though we were splitting up at the time, and it has a really cool floor plan and a great view. Ceecee has done a great job of decorating and setting it up to be very stylish, and it has her personality all over it.
On the other hand, the walls are paper thin and a lot of the people who live here party at night and sleep during the day, so that doesn’t work well. Beyond that, there’s just the constant reminder of the painful part of our recent past, and I’d really like to just start fresh in a place that we picked out to share together and has always just been ours.
We’ve looked at a few lofts, and even started to fill out an application on one, but never really felt like any of them were exactly what we wanted. Today, I was browsing online and found out that one of the more desirable properties that rarely has available units had one come up.
I made an appointment to see it, and while we were there, Ceecee whispered to me, “I think this is the one!” I took the application, filled it out on the spot and went straight to the office and turned it in. It’s going to be ours!
