Yay for #3
Sorry to hear about the Uhaul fiasco, but glad it got sorted out for the next day. Hope you are enjoying your new apartment, I bet you are using your balcony in the Spring weather!
Hooray for #3!!
The UHaul experience was definitely terrible on most levels, but at least we got it over with and have long since moved on. We definitely love the apartment. It's so nice having the outdoor space we worked so hard to find!
I feel as though I should clap after reading that harrowing tale!
Harrowing is right. My pulse started racing while I wrote just having to relive it all.
thank goodness I finally know -- the suspense of which apartment was killing me!
Hopefully the reveal eased your tension a little
yay for #3, sucks you had to go through all that
Yes, it was definitely a pain, but in reality the move worked out pretty well on the whole.
What an awful day you had to go through! I'm glad you finally moved and that the whole refrigerator thing worked out too! I'm still in awe that people don't provide that!
I'm hoping you'll share some photos of your place and how you have been enjoying the weather (well not the last couple days) but before that!
The moving day(s) definitely stunk, but we were so glad when it was all over! And very glad we didn't have to deal with the fridge situation. Now we can either keep the fridge or try to sell it to the next tenants whenever we move out.
I'll certainly be sharing many more pictures of our life around here and how much we've been enjoying the beautiful weather. In reality, this TR is only just getting started!
YAY for #3!
Sorry about UHaul. Shame about the start but it worked out AND you got a fridge!
Hooray #3! We like it
UHaul is the worst, but it all worked out for the best, so oh well!
Hello from England
We met briefly in DL the other day, I popped over to say hello because I recognised you both from this TR
Anyway, great update and it must have been a nice feeling to finally sign the lease on a new apartment
Looking forward to the next installment
It was so great meeting you the other day! Tracy and I felt like celebrities for a few minutes, so you definitely made our day
Hope all is well back in England.
It was a great feeling knowing we'd found a place to settle into here and to get out of the hotel for once and for all!
I'm so glad you guys were able to get the apartment that you wanted! Hooray for that, and for the previous tenant selling you the fridge so you didn't have to deal with that.
What a bummer about the moving experience! It's always the worst when an employee just kind of shrugs you off like 'well, not my problem it's yours' and if I were you I would have sent a heated email to uhaul after the fact. At least Monday went smoother for you and you're settled in now.
Now I can't wait to hear about the job search and hopefully some more
Disneyland magic in the future!
Everything definitely worked out well with the apartment. It took some time and lots of patience, but we found the right one for us!
The moving situation was terrible, mostly because of the employees there, but we realized it honestly wasn't even worth writing to UHaul. They just have such a (well-earned) bad reputation for their customer service that it seemed fruitless and we were ready to move on.
There's certainly plenty more Disneyland coming up in the report, both outside and (eventually) inside the parks!
I'm in
how cool you live so close to Disneyland! I went for the first time in 17 years last June and I kept thinking about how great it would be to be a Disneyland local.
We love it! Obviously we were in the same situation as you not too long ago, dreaming about living here, and now the time has finally come! Thanks for reading
What a pain with Uhaul. We have had problems with them in the past not getting right dates in the computers and such before, and we live in Canada, so it must be a company wide problem!!
I am glad things turned out well in the end, and you were able to get into your apartment in good time. Looking forward to hearing how job hunting and settling in goes. I hope you have much more to tell us!
UHaul just seems to be known for being terrible at pretty much everything administrative. The actual move went off basically without a hitch, but every time we had to deal with scheduling or just trying to communicate with them it was a disaster. We were so glad to be done dealing with them!
I'm looking forward to sharing the next steps of the journey with you all as well. There's SO much to cover already. I can say honestly that the report has barely begun
Love the "ears" display. What a great idea!
