Life After Arizona

Yesterday Brian and I took a day trip to New Hudson, Michigan which will be our home beginning the middle of August. Our goal was to look at different apartment complexes and see if we could possibly find a place that we would like to live once we move that way.

We started off looking at a pretty junky place and then a really nice, but really expensive place. We then went to Cummins (where Brian will be working) and signed some paperwork so that we have a contract with Cummins and UTI for his schooling in Arizona. We then went over to the nearby hospital so that Brian could take a drug test and physical. He passed both. :)

We then visited another place which we were not qualified to live in, but the woman was from Kalamazoo and directed us toward some other apartment complexes we didn't know about. We went and visited a couple of these and fell in love with the last one we looked at. We're really considering living there when we move to Detroit in August, but we've got to get a little more information from Cummins before we decide anything for sure.

The apartment complex is called The Springs and is located on the border of Wixom and Novi, MI. It's about 10 minutes from Brian's work and about 1/2 hour from Wayne State. It's a nice little neighborhood with a grocery store across the street and a park down the road. The apartments are all on little ponds and some face the woods on the other side.

We're looking at getting a two bedroom apartment again, but it'd be bigger than where we're at now. It would have a laundry room with washer and dryer which is a big plus. We'd love to have visitors when we're out there. Only two hours from GR!

We'll keep you updated on this housing situation and the one for Arizona which has not really progressed very far at the moment. But we're going because Brian has now signed papers. :)
