Yesterday, I received a phone call. Yes. Can you believe it? Ok, that's all. Bye!!!
HA! Just kidding. I received a phone call regarding a JOB OFFER in Charleston, SC! I got the job I applied for!!! HAPPY!! Excited! Scared! All of the above. I have so much to do in a short amount of time- enough time- but short, short amount. I've heard nothing but great things from all of you about Charleston so I couldn't be happier about my choice to accept the job.....Now, I just need to find a place to LIVE and rent out my house HERE! *big heavy BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!*
Here's where you all come in again- any places you recommend a single gal with two dogs to live? I hear I should live downtown at least a year to experience all of that, but to be honest, I'm OK with NOT living right downtown. I'm kinda picky when it comes to my dwelling. I'd rather have a nicer place and a SAFE place for me and my dogs than live in the middle of the action, ya know? Plus I'm not 25 anymore. I'm not an old geezer....but, yet, not 25 :) You understand me. I know you do.
Also, I don't really know ANYONE there. NO ONE. At least when I was living in D.C. I had automatic new friends who were interns with me. I'm scared, y'all!!! That's unlike me. Plus, I'll be an 8 HOUR DRIVE away from my BFF, Marion and 8 hours away from my family. SAD!!
I've made a list from other sources on places to stay. So far, I have narrowed it down to a few locations. Here is my MUST have criteria:
1. Pet Friendly obviously.
2. SAFE
3. Close to downtown. I can handle a commute, no problem, but it must be close.
4. No more than $1,150/month
5. I'll accept a 1 bedroom apartment, but I'd prefer 2. I have a lot of shit, ok?? For crying out loud I live in a 3 bedroom house now and my junk is practically overflowing. I really am scared about downgrading. Ugh. Price you pay I guess?
Places I've been told are rockin'/Ideal:
1. West Ashley area
2. Mt. Pleasant
3. James Island
Help me please!!!!!!!!
So excited!!!
Happy Friday!!
