We decided to take an apt in Andrews, which is great because Matt's drive will only be 45 minutes. I spent the better part of last week driving around and talking to realtors, leasing agents, etc. and there were all of 3 available apts within a 2 hour drive between Big Spring, TX and Hobbs, NM - unreal! I seriously can't believe the lack of apts out here!
The best option ended up being in Andrews - which is also the safest/nicest of the 3 options so that was a good thing. We have rented a "corporate" apt, which means it is fully furnished and we won't have to unpack ANYTHING (except our clothes). That's great because the movers delivered our stuff to Dean's house and it is literally jam packed floor to ceiling in both his living and dining rooms!! The lease is for 3 months, so we are really hoping our house sells w/in three months so that we can find a more permanent place out here!
Here's the kicker - the apt doesn't allow pets. :*(
As you all know, this is devastating for me! I'm going to miss Molly like crazy! Dean's offered to take care of her until we find a house, so I am really grateful for that. I told Molly she was going to stay at camp until we could come get her :*(
So... bittersweet. I'm REALLY glad that we are going to cut down Matt's drive time though. That's the most important thing at this point! I'll keep you posted although it will be awhile before I post any pics since my camera docking station is packed away somewhere!
Ciao Peeps.
