Days with the Cormier's

LA, it is!

After much drama, we are here! We're even settled in our apartment! The Dodgers made it interesting towards the end, but Lance stood his ground on the negotiations, and they put him on the team under HIS terms. Amazing. That so rarely happens :) We found out Monday morning, and he had to be in LA late Monday afternoon. That didn't give us much time to pack, but we'll take it! We were packed and out, headed on our 6 hour drive to LA within 2 hours. Lance was at the game that night, and LJ & I were seeking out an apartment.

Then, there was some apartment drama. I found a great 2 bedroom apartment, was going to have it corporately furnished, and the girl on the other end didn't follow through. By not following through, I mean she was in NO HURRY whatsoever to do her job well. Sorry, but it's the truth. I about lost my religion in a conversation with her that went something like, "You WILL have someone higher up call my phone within 30 minutes or I break my lease with you before it starts. Do you understand?"...horrible. Never had to do that in my life. With anyone. So, I ended up breaking the lease, setting up everything in my name, finding a way to furnish, utilitate (is that a word? set up utilities), get renter's insurance, and move us in...eventually saving us hundreds of dollars a month because I, essentially, did her job. Glad it worked out this way, but I wouldn't want to go through that again. Meanwhile, LJ was THE model child, and I bought his forgiveness for this crazy week with a lightening McQueen toy, a spiderman mask, and the tastiest popsicles you've ever had. He feels like we're even, so I'll take it :)

So, we're settled. Tupperwares unpacked, lines in the carpet, San Pellegrino in the fridge, picture frames up and Wal-Mart candle lit. Welcome to Pasadena! I"ll keep you posted! Hopefully this week is equally blessed and slightly less dramatic. Thank you, Lord for our huge blessings! Everything comes through your hands and it's all amazing! :)
