Well, it's done.

Pending the approval of our credit checks (which the manager felt would be not a problem at all after viewing our paperwork) this will be our new home. Alex covered the application fee, and I put in the security deposit.

We'll move on or just after June 15th. Rent will be pro-rated based on our move. July's rent will be free, and August and September will be half off.

As a backup, we also applied here, which requires less rent (OSU and Sterling are in their preferred employer program, meaning 5% off each month's rent, free application, reduced security deposit, and a reduced base rent rate.) We'd get July for free there, also.

Either will be great, but Perimeter is ideal.

Had dinner at Fire Mountain because Perimeter said there was an outside chance of credit approval that evening, and we wanted to stay close. But the credit checker place must have closed for the holiday. No biggie. Besides, it was decent steak and all you can eat buffet for $8 apiece.

neeri met us after work, and we went up over to a few places while there. Trader Joe's, a video shop where I got the Hellsing box set (The HK 2-disc version, but sadly without the repro pistols) for $25, and a few other places.

I think it's gonna be good. Alex and I were already talking about starting to cook and have people over for weekly dinner/movie nights on the weekends, getting a regular card game going, and having friends over to be social and enjoy ourselves.

We started planning how we'll arrange the place if we get Perimeter, and the excitement is palpable.

Our lives are moving.
