This weekend has been a much-needed break with time away from school and TFA. I learned quickly the importance of Fridays at 4 and happy hour. On Fridays the schools we work at hold socials for us at various parts of Houston. This last Friday we went to David Buster's an adult version of Chuckie Cheeses with a lot of arcade games, good food, and a large bar area. Saturday morning, Nels and I were picked up by our apartment locator who took us around for a good part of the day to look at apartments. We looked at 4 different apartments but found that we actually are kind of picky, as we really wanted something that was not too apartment-esque, we wanted something that is well put together and fairly nice. The last apartment we found we immediately fell in love with.
The apartment is called Broadstone at West Eighteenth. It is a brand new apartment, so we are the first ones to live it. It feels more like a loft/condo. The place is absolutely amazing. It has a very contemporary feel to it. The clubhouse area has an outdoor living room with fireplace, wireless by the resort style pool, free espresso machine, and an AMAZING gym with a spin room with 8 bikes and flat screen TVs. All of the cardio machines also have their own TVs. The apartment we are renting has three bedrooms (a guy named Drew from Chicago is our 3rd roommate). The apartment features granite countertops, hardwood floors, track lighting, large oval bathtubs in both bathrooms, double sinks in both bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, pantry, washer and dryer etc. It is amazing! We are on the second floor right above the pool. The apartment is also very secure with a remote access parking garage where all cars are under cover with a security guard monitoring 24 hrs/day. You can check the complex out at: http://www.broadstonewest18th.net/home.html We are paying a little over $600 a person which is much cheaper than a lot of the other places we saw and were not nearly as nice.
We move in July 1st, so soon. Last night TFA took us to the Mariners vs. the Astros game at Minute Maid Park. Despite the Mariners losing we had fun.
Time to lesson plan, I can't believe my first day in my classroom is tomorrow, yikes!
