I was chatting tonight (lol its past 4 a.m. right now) and met this guy that has a duplex for rent. It's 2 bedroom, 1 bath and has a large fenced backyard. The previous renters had 2 rottweilers, he's totally fine if I had 2 siberian huskies and he even said it was ok I had cats. It will be available in May, the previous renters are moving out right now.
Sorry for sharing all this with you I'm just excited, it would be awesome if this worked out!
Here's some pluses and minuses:
It's in Salt Lake City, which is anywhere from 45 min-1 hour from where I live currently, and another 20 minutes from there to get to work. Salt Lake City is more pet-friendly than Utah County from what I've heard. They have all the dog parks, doggy daycare, etc.
I do work at Petco and there's several Petco's up in SLC, so it's possible I could transfer. I would miss where I work though.
I'm not sure if it's closer or farther from my agility classes, probably about the same.
It's $600 a month (I forgot to ask if that includes utilities) with a $600 deposit ($300 refundable) for pets. I can handle the deposit ok but the monthly payment will be pushing it, I barely make over $600 per month on normal wage (though I can make more on commission). I can work more hours now that school is out though too. I was also looking into getting a newer vehicle too though, I only have so much money (not much!) Since it's 2 bedroom I could possibly find a roommate..one that likes pets of course!
Melissa is really the only friend I have irl, she couldn't move in w/ me though because she already has 2 dogs (Bear and Lady). I'm not sure if she'd be willing to drive up to SLC on weekends to do stuff either.
Now the pre-roomate stage...could I live alone? Any advice from those of you that live alone? I'm not an overly social person, but living alone is a big step for me. Living alone in a city I'm not really that familiar with is a *really* big step...
Advice please!!
