We found it. Well I found it and now I am just hoping that Ryan likes it :) I was fed up with looking for a place to live. One apartment couldn't even fit a bed in the bedroom. Another apartment had holes in the floor and most apartments were just plain depressing. I was ready to go home for the day and I thought I would start fresh in the morning.
On my way to the subway, I saw a sign on the window of an apartment building. It said "1 and 2 bedroom apartments available." I thought to myself what the heck. I called the number and took a look at the apartments. They were perfect. Both of them. I could not believe that the two-bedroom apartments was in our price range. Filled with a new energy I called Ryan to tell him the good news. After talking to the super he told me to go ahead and fill out the paperwork. The super took me for coffee and showed me the neighborhood. I filled out the papers and left their ecstatic and hopeful.
Our super, Pete, called me today to say we passed our credit report and the apartment is ours. So here it is, a 6th story walk up on the upper east side of New York. We are less than 5 blocks from Central Park and 2 blocks from the Subway. The apartment is still small (all Manhattan apts are tiny) but it is fantastic.
I cannot wait to show off my new home :)
All the best,
Callie
