We found a place.... if only temporary.

Good day!

It's another beautiful day here in Park City and I finally have some pretty good news to report. I have found a temporary place to stay until I find something more permanent and I move in tomorrow. It is a really cute little furnished studio on the back of a woman's house, but it really felt very separate when I went to check it out. It's absolutely charming!! I'll post some pics as soon as I'm settled. I'm so glad to be out of the hotel and especially to be into a place where I'll have Internet.... let's hope anyway, right? I mean they said I would have it in my room here and I don't. So first thing next week I'll go get a new license and I need to make a new tag for Belami that doesn't say NH on it! I'll also figure out exactly what I need to do for my car.... we're getting somewhere with all this finally! I'm still looking for something long term however and those places are harder and harder to come by the closer fall (and winter) gets. I would advise anyone moving as far away as I did to REALLY think about the area that you're going to. I hate to sound defeated but if I had known what a hassle the beginning of this would be I would have gone somewhere much closer that was easier to visit and find a place to live beforehand. I was saying to my mom last night that luckily all of this has been a distraction from being homesick b/c I haven't felt that at all!!
Recruiting is still coming along much like the apartment hunt...... SLOWLY. We have a couple of people, but that's it! Luckily next week the other associate manager, Kathleen, will be in town so we can work together- it will be so nice to have someone else around!! Not that Belami hasn't been a superb companion but I really do feel bad for him, he must be bored in the little room and he probably will be in this new studio too, but what can I do? When it comes to apartments and living situations PC is NOT pet friendly. But you see dogs everywhere- that's something I've definitely realized recently.
I went into a store in town called "World Market" yesterday- has anyone heard of it? I guess it's a West Coast thing, but it was really cool. It's kind of like Pier 1, but seems less expensive. I LOVED it!! So many cool things to decorate a home or an apartment and other fun little knick-knacks. Okay, I would write more but someone else needs the computer so I've got to go! Call me!!! I love talking to people since I'm all the way out here! Thanks to my mom, Steve, Colin and G & G for finding time in your busy days to call me in my boring, frustrating days!!

Much love!!

I've been in World Market - it rocks! I bought a coffee table and end tables there for my new apartment. Glad to hear you are doing well, even though your searches aren't coming along as well as you'd like. The temp place sounds neat - pics are a must! It's funny, the things you are saying about moving to a far away place are totally true - I totally understand!
Talk to you later :)

Hey cool! Steve here. Glad to hear you've got a place to hold you over for a while. Please send pictures! Oh, and Amy if you are reading this, I've been trying to call what I thought was your cell number but haven't had any luck. Please send it my way - I want to catch up on your adventures in Florida! Heather, if you have it, please pass it along. Thanks!
