Moving Apartment Update

So the grueling search for a new place has begun.  Tian looked into advertisements on newspapers and forums on the internet for prospective flats and villas.  Luckily this week we’ve found a nice, suitable place for our small family.  We saw this very cozy and cute 2-bedroom flat in Clipp area, near the TV roundabout and the Markhiya area which is just about 10-15 minutes away from Qatar Academy.  The building has a 24-hour security and service and is located in a very quiet neighborhood. 

Now, we are hoping that the electricity will soon be installed in the building so that as early as 1st week of June, we could start moving some of our things already.  However we hope to be able to move all of our belongings by the 2nd week which gives us ample time to get settled and gives Tian a lot of time to take care of our electricity and telephone billing. Besides our contract in our current flat expires on the 25th of June, although we can still stay until July.  We hope that it wouldn’t be that difficult and that everything will just run smoothly.

The coming weeks will definitely very busy for us, having to do the packing and everything plus having to prepare for our holiday too.  As for me, I sometimes get anxious with all the things that needs to be done but when I think about it, I realize that I’ve done this a few times already so this shouldn’t be new to me.  Plus looking at the bright side, I am excited to make a new home and I am much too happy with all the blessings that we continue to receive every single day to be bothered by all the work that has to be done.  As I’ve said before, we’ll get there soon.
