Finding shelter

We arrived in Anchorage, AK on October 20, 2010 Daniela's plane landed at 1:20 pm and Jacks at 12:40 pm. The first few weeks we traveled all around Anchorage to find an apartment, our desired sq footage and original budget went up after seeing the first few places and we decided that we'd need a garage or car port. after seeing about 12 places we signed for the lowest level of a large house apt. We signed and paid a hefty deposit and had to wait one week to move in (Nov 1).
When we called the moving company to have our stuff shipped that day, but the soonest that he could get us in was on the 2nd- we were anxious but accepted the wait. On Nov 2 we woke up early to meet the movers, signed out of our hotel and at 9 am, an hour late, the moving van showed up. He took out four boxes and a pull up bar; when we called to have our "household goods" sent, they sent us Daniela's stuff from Missouri. We had to call a different moving company and they were able to bring the rest of our stuff two days later. It was disappointing and we didn't sleep well on our blow up mattress, but once everything arrived it didn't matter because we've finally moved out of the slums of West Valley... to the slums of Anchorage.
