Everything comes full circle

Okay so we decided on door #3, our old development...right off the bat, that's weird.  When we left here 3 years ago, we didn't look back..now we're looking right back at it.  So, we go to the rental office to inquire about when units will be available. They ask when do we want to move in. Based on the (then) current status of things, if we could have moved in at that moment, it would have been just fine with me.  Ultimately we decide on a 6 week lead time for a move-in as it is the middle of the month, and although we have hardly anything unpacked, we still need to repack some stuff.
Then comes the all important question...sigh....do we want a 2 or 3 bedroom?  Based on the amount of "stuff" that we have, we figure that we will take the 3 bedroom( the last time we lived here we had a 2 bedroom).  So we sign the application, give our preferences to the rental agent...and then it happens.

We were talking about the location of the available units, as we wanted to drive by them and see if we like the location.  The rental agent realizes that my husband looks familiar, so we said "oh yes, we moved out of here 3 years ago", and one of the maintenance men said..."ohhh...which unit"?  So we tell him, and then the fateful words were uttered..."That unit is available"..

We look at each other and laugh- how funny is that?  How weird is that?
How strange would that be to live in our old unit?


Flash forward 3 whole days, we talk, talk, and talk some more about moving and about how weird its going to be to live in the same development again, but this time in a different apartment.  Yet, we keep going back to how weird would it be to live in the same exact apartment again.  The apartment that I spent endless hours studying for school, the apartment that we entertained friends numerous times in, the apartment that we got engaged in.
So something that 2 days ago was totally foreign and out of the question, suddenly has become quite comfortable and doable.  We call the rental agent the next morning to see if we could switch our choice and take our old unit- they were fine with it.

In 32 days we were about to embark on yet another move..this one was almost like a step backwards, moving to our old apartment- almost 3 years to the day that we left.

Tutto viene cerchio completo....Everything comes full circle
