Only 12 days!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!

[NoahsMommy]

Here's a link from PT explaining what's going on: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...&page=16&pp=15 (link opens at page 15, where most recent update began)

Good news is that I'm ESCAPING this hell-hole. Well, its nowhere near a hell-hole in all ways but emotionally! I've reached that point and I've about JUMPED way over it. I'm done dealing with the constant lack of respect, meanness, rudeness, and abuse I'm inflicted with daily. Daily from people (well, at least my freaking mother) that should be acting the exact opposite! Ugh.

Move-in date is 2/2/08 and I cannot wait!!!

I'll try and post some pictures of floorplans, etc here....

Floorplan:


Floorplans above: Its 1166 sq feet and is a dual master. Looking at the plans like the are now, just above this sentence, my bedroom is the one on the LEFT side. See how my very own bathroom is INSIDE my room? Meaning, in order to get to the bathroom in MY room, you'd have to come INSIDE my room - LOVE that privacy! The entry is at the top of this picture, in the middle. We enter into the living and dining rooms, with the kitchen low bar right there as well. There are WINDOWS galore! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE natural light and this place is dripping with it! We get AM sun and can see the sunset from the balcony. We do not get afternoon sun, not the hot stuff. Bad for some roses, but most plants will grow on our balcony - which btw my room opens up onto!! There is a sliding glass door via the dining room as well. See? TONS of natural light!

MY closet is GINORMOUS! It could be a den or something! I'll be putting the litter boxes in there, along with anything else I want! ha ha

OK, here are more pictures and I'll keep going...oh, these pictures are from the ArchStone website, not the acctual apartment:


This is the entry door (see that door???) and the kitchen with the bar surrounding. Don't you love the cabinets and those two nice windows?? Its so nice and well-lit without much artificial light.



Here is the dining room and the kitchen. That door way leads to my room - if this was our apartment. Its funny though, its the exact layout, model, colors, etc. We just don't have that "stuff" or furnature. Its nice seeing these pictures to remind me, I didn't realize the kitchen cabinets had that ledge area for us to put stuff up there to decorate...fun!!



The model's version of Kristin's room. Aren't the windows lovely? Oh, did I mention we're upstairs?? Not sure if I did or not. I love and much prefer upstairs units for safety reasons - and they tend to offer more of that natural light I keep talking about.



No pictures of my room but there's one of my bathroom - I think.


We also have a washer and dryer enclave over by the front door and Kristin's bathroom. OMGosh!! That is soooooooooo wonderful - that was just icing on the already wonderful cake!!


This is the exterior of the apt complex (Archstone) down over by the main enterence. Our outsides are stucco, I think. Will find out...

More coming in next post...

[NoahsMommy]

If I'm not mistaken, this is not the pool that is the closest to us. Not sure....will ask Kristin. Its pretty though.



The Spa and Shower...but not the closest one to our place....


Our very own Gym! YAY!!!! I'm already working on the healthful eating, on to the working out part!


We are free to use our Business Center. Through that door on the upper right side is where we can use the internet, printers, FAX machines and copiers! Isn't that kind of nice?

OK...all done. I hope you liked the pictures. I'll eventually get some up of the actual apartment...not just the models.

Moving day is coming soon, THANK YOU GOD!!! I just sat down for my last (again, Thank YOU!!) "budget meeting" where they rub in my face how they CONTROL every cent I have. Ugh...thank GOD its over now.

Love you all!!!

What an awesome place! I am so happy for you. I can almost hear your happiness Not long now and you'll have a totally different life. It's so good to see the change in you already. That's bound to be good for your health.

[Emeraldgreen]

Beautiful apartment! You and your kitties are going to be so cozy there!! It's going to be great! Hang in there. February is just around the corner!

[Rachel]

Kelly, I'm thrilled with your excitement at a new phase in your life. Believe me, I not trying to second guess your judgement when I say this - it's that I just wish there were a way for you to feel comfortable about telling your mother that you are moving out and why you feel you need to do that. It's not that I don't understand, I do. I just wish it were different. Seems like this method will only be another arrow in her sling if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the pictures. It appears to be an absolutely lovely apartment. Hugs and wishes for all the best life has to offer.

[ramanth]

I'm so happy this is all working out. Woohoo!!

[carole]

Oh Kelly the apartment is a dream come true, in more ways than one eh? it is so luxurious and you will have a pool, gym,spa facilities too, lucky you, you deserve this dear girl, i am over the moon for you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

The apartment sure looks gorgeous and very spacious too. I bet that your furkids will enjoy being able to look out of so many windows.

[Karen]

I love that you'll have your own bathroom - makes it easier to quarantine somekitty if ever need be!

It looks great, and I hope you will be very happy there. We're all pulling for you!

[Sparklecoon]

Congratulations! I know what it's like to have a controling mother. It's a hard thing to do, getting out from under a family members grasp but in the end I've found it's very worth it.
