I received the keys today to what will be my new home. It’s a small (556-square-foot) one-bedroom apartment in the Walden Lake subdivision of Plant City, Florida. The entire apartment probably fits in the living room of the house I’m leaving. Not that I can complain—the view of the wooded preserve out the screened-in balcony and the bedroom window is breathtaking. I can see myself having my quiet times out on the balcony in the mornings. I took some pictures on my iPhone and posted them in my Flickr stream. I literally went for this apartment sight unseen, because I wanted to vacate the house as soon as possible so my soon-to-be-ex-wife can move back in, so it was beyond expectations that everything was in great shape.

We’ve reached mutual agreement on most everything related to who gets what, so the attorney should hopefully have it written up into a formal dissolution agreement for us to sign in the next week or few. I’m still working on compiling all the documents and records that I’ve been asked to provide.
