Moving up in the world...

The key word in this title is "moving."  I finally get to take all of my stuff out of my car and put it in an actual building.  I don't think I've been more excited this whole last year.  Lunch breaks can now be used to actually eat lunch instead of apartment hunting.  I can stop searching for clothes to wear in random piles and stacks.  I can buy food, watch tv, and feel "at home." 
Through all my searchings, I lucked into the nicest cheap place I could imagine.  I got in contact with an old friend from college who owns his own house.  One of his roommates just bought a house of their own and moved out this past month.  I will be living with two guys that I have known for a few years now.  All of us will be busy and hard at work.  One is a medical student and two of us are students with full-time jobs. 
I wish I had a camera to take pictures and show everyone like Ms. M did.  It is a house on a corner lot, so the yard is huge.  There are hardwood floors, three bedrooms, and a huge living room.  It also has a small dining area with a nice kitchen and a washer and dryer in the back.  The back yard is completely fenced in with a screened in back porch.  I only have to supply my bedroom furniture.  They already have couches, a recliner, kitchen table and chairs, a lawn mower, etc.
All that stuff is great, but here's the best parts.  1.) He owns a 52" LCD, HDTV with satellite.
     2.)  The rent is less than $450/month
     3.)  All utilities are paid for.  That means he pays for the water, electricity, satellite, and internet.
     4.)  No security deposit, leasing contracts, or renter's insurance needed.

All in all, I am pretty darned excited about this living arrangement.  I'll hopefully have pictures up soon.
