5/10/15 - A New (Temporary) Home

One of the big issues that we've been dealing with during the whole process of selling our current house and buying the new house is the gap between the closing date on our current house and the closing date on the new house.  We knew that there was going to be a gap of at least a month, and we have been stressing out big time over what we were going to do during that time.  We had looked at staying in an extended stay hotel, but it posed a couple of problems.  1: We need to be able to take our cat with us.  We have a cat and a dog, and while my mom is nice enough to watch our dog for us during the move, the cat isn't invited.  2.  We need a two bedroom place.  Our son is 7 and he really needs his own room separate from us so he can go to bed early and not be disturbed by us. And 3.  We need a little bit of room to move around.  We have some stuff that we need to keep with us and as such we need some space to keep it.  None of those issues are met at an extended stay location, so it was to be our last resort.

Thankfully I came across a student that was looking to sublet her apartment for the month of June and July.  It's a fairly large two bedroom apartment in Williamsburg only a few miles form the new house and it's available from June 10th until Aug 2nd.  Doesn't get much better than that.  So tonight we drove back up to Williamsburg to check it out and it's perfect for what we need.  So we paid our deposit and agreed to take it.

Check off one major stressful thing from our list!
