When Steven got off the phone he text me telling me to good news... I was at home UNPACKING and get this text about his vehicles being chosen and I ask him, "SO.... what does this mean?" Steven tells me, "I guess we are going to be moving, they need me there to direct the designs." My eyes got big, put my head down, took a deep breath and started putting things BACK into the box that I was working so hard to unpack.
Since that day I have been on the phone "trying to plan" on moving but it's exhausting because we are not 100% sure whats going to happen with BMW. His contract is up with them at the end of April and they will have him sign another contract with more pay, so it really boils down to who will pay me more!
Anyway, I have spent many hours and countless phones calls to ALLLLL the surrounding areas of Medina, Minnesota. We have good friends out there that are sooooo helpful in guiding us where we should go and where we should stay out of. Our friends Leah and Randy found us a place in Maple Plain that sounded pretty good, it meets all of our requirements, but its hard to know if it is 'the place' since we can't be there to look at it. Let me just tell you how helpful they have been. Leah takes her video camera and drives around to show me the area, takes pictures of the place and really scopes out the neighbors! :) Our other good friend Laura Hall went to look at a place for us too, it was a HUGE help to see what we are going to get in our price range. Laura also send me a spread sheet set up to help me compare apartment searches, helping me rate apartments that I like with it's pros and cons, it's been super helpful.
Using that sheet we have narrowed our search down to this one that Leah found, so she made an appointment to go back today and go through the apartment with a fine tooth comb, so to speak.
So right now I am twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear back from her, here in the next hour or so...
Like I said, we have to be 100% certain we are moving because we have to put in our 30 day notice here so we can get out of this place with out any penalties. Steven can end BMW by the end of April and if we look at the calendar it's the end of March!!! Thats 30 days away!!!!!!!
-Me: "You need to get a hold of Greg and set up a Skype meeting so you can be FACE TO FACE while you negotiate...we need to put in our notice letter asap."
-Steven: "Greg is out of town." :(
-In my head: We need this ball to get on a roll, its all about setting up our dominos... Okay, so his boss is out of town, but for how long?? I guess I will just have to put everything on hold for next week or so. While we try to figure out our next plan of attack.
-Steven: "... Out of town in California! He got a hold of me today and wants to do lunch tomorrow!!!"
-Me: WHAAATTTT?? AAAAAHHHHHH!!!
-In my head: What-the-WHAT? Holy moly! He is really going to do his negotiating face to face!!! I am so nervous!!! AHHHHH!! I don't know how this is all lining up so nicely, do you? Well I do have an inkling that Heavenly Father had a little something to do with this, plus our hard work.
Let's see what else is up his little sleeve! To be continued...
