We are beginning to settle into our new apartment. It is definitely different getting used to living into an apartment instead of a house. Having no yard and people attached to the side and back of our unit. so I constantly wonder who can hear us, are we disturbing the other people and what they must think about us.
We came here with the intention of renting a house but soon figured out they were not interested in renting to us because we had no rental history and were not established in the American system. So we gave up on the dream of a house and settled for an apartment. We were lucky and found a place that was big enough for us to feel comfortable. Some of the places we saw were really small at around 800 square feet. We managed to get 1000 square feet. I felt bad for Derek because he did not get a place with a garage so we had to put a lot of our stuff in storage. The one thing I miss the most is not having my own washer and dryer. Finally we have got pictures up on the walls and trying to make this place ours.
Next was getting Liam into school. I thought it would be straight forward, well I was wrong. Liam required more immunizations before he could attend school. So we get them done and they except them at the school only to get a call a few days later that Liam did not have all his shots. They apparently missed one so he was kicked out of school until he gets the last shot. Liam's is in a big school. They have 45 class rooms. Liam is in grade 4 and there are 3 grade 4 classes with 30+ students in each class. I know poor Liam feels lost in a sea of kids. I wish he would put himself out there and make friends but he is too shy. He has made some friends but not like he had at home.
