Hey all! I now have a start date for the job (Aug. 24), and a moving date! They want me to be in town for a drug test on the 18th of this month, so I figured it would be good to be in town by the weekend before. That will give me a chance to get settled in the city for the week (and hopefully meet some DISers).
I just wanted to thank you all for the encouragement! I was worried that this would look like a self-serving thread after I posted it. Then again, I'm worried about that with every thread I post. I do have to tell you, though, that I can definitely feel your prayers working. It is great to have such encouragement during such a huge transition.
I would like some help, though. Is there anyone here from the Knoxville area that knows of any cheap and safe places to stay temporarily, like an extended stay hotel or something? It is very likely I will not actually be able to move into an apartment for a couple of weeks since Friend #2 is still trying to find a second job. I have about $700 saved, which was what I was going to use for the temp housing, even though I would prefer to have some left for a down-payment on an apartment. I know this is a very tight budget, but summer jobs have been scarce. Anyway, any help would be appreciated, even though prayers are appreciated the most.
That is fantastic!
I still haven't but I figure the mortgage is good for another 20 years or so.
