Why yes! Yes, I did get an apartment today!! Funny you should ask! ;)
Tomorrow at 5:00 pm (10 your time) I will be signing my papers and receiving my key. Because it's mid-month, the rent will be pro-rated, meaning I'll only pay half plus $500 down. Not bad! I just got back from Thrifty, where I rented a Toyota Corolla (yay, Mom!!!). So now I have that, so I went to Walmart and got an inflatable mattress, sheets and a pillow. I'm ready to sleep there, at least!! Maybe Goodwill will have a TV? :( Oh well...this is when I wish I had stuff from home. Including my shower curtain! My stereo. My TV. My car (WOW it feels good to drive a car around). A rug?! :) It will all come together - I have to remind myself it doesn't have to come together right now, or I'll never be able to pay rent come the 1st!!
So that's my news. Tonight I will pack up what I can and load the car's trunk - then tomorrow morning I will grab the rest of my stuff, load 'er up and go to work. Then I'll go to my new place!! Not sure what to do from there to be honest and I HOPE I have internet there, if not, that will be the reason I don't post or email until I get that set up. Cross your fingers that someone in there has wireless and I can use it ;)
Thank you for all the support and crossed fingers!! I'm excited. And don't worry - eventually I'll get a bed so you can sleep on the inflatable mattress when you come to visit me. Hint hint!! :)
By the way - if you want to find a rental company in Honolulu near the airport, I can tell you how to get there. After hopping the bus (YES! I rode The Bus!!) down there, I walked for about 40 minutes trying to find the place. Talk about a workout for the day...
I think I'll take advantage of the washing machine and do some laundry, take a shower and get some stuff together... (yeah right, I'm going for my Ben & Jerry's, taking a shower and going to bed....who am I kidding?!)
Love you - I'll give you an update on the place ASAP!!!
me.

Hi Kristen... I am so happy for you; the apartment must have been the right thing!!! I know you are looking forward to your new home, getting it furnished and everything. It will all come together.
So you have you own set of wheels, enjoy! So how far is your new home to where you work? Good luck on your move..
Hey!!
What an awesome start to your week!! You must be walking on cloud nine...isn't it great when a plan comes together??!!
Great to hear that you are taking this realistically...rent and bills before the "wish list". I hope your week continues to be such an uplifting one!!! I love your cute place...great choice.
Love
MOM
Good job!! You did all that pretty quickly and found a really cute place! I told you things work out. Now, work is only a few miles from your place, right? At least you have a car now so you'll be able to find your way around. By time we get there, you'll know where everything is and drive us all over the island!! I'm happy for you...you're a great girl and deserve much happiness!!
Love you,
Patty

Kristen,
Sounds like you are thinking the right way... get what you can for the apartment as you can... you don't want to be apartment poor!
So how is it driving in all the traffic? I bet the corolla is fun to drive in.
Let us know how your first night goes and the address for sure.
love you,
Pam &Dan
