Last year after I received the job offer and started looking for a place to live in this new city, it was almost impossible, as a lot of posts were taken right after the first person viewed it, and people didn't want to rent to us who were out of town. Finally a friend's friend helped us check out this downtown sublet apt. which happens to be on top of shops. It is very nice to be next to the grocery store and within walking distance to work, but the noises and smoke from downstairs have affected the quality of life here. So we started place hunting in April, and found a place in the suburb in early May and signed the rental contract.
The first weekend in July we spent two days painting over the dark paint (see here and here). This past week we move a minivan-ful everyday. We set up the new book shelves (didn't bring any big ones and haven't unpacked our book boxes since moving here last July.) It feels like we already moved a lot of things, but there are always still more to go. Saturday we moved the fridge stuff and pillows at night. Sunday is the day when two friends are coming to help move the big furniture in a rental truck. So we'll actually start living in the suburb. It's a much more spacious place overlooking meadows. The only disadvantage will be my commute -- 35-45 minutes each way.
