Update on the apartment hunt

Several weeks ago I went around and picked up pamphlets and information on about half a dozen apartments. We sat at Qdoba after one of my shifts and filtered through all the information. We picked through which places were in our price range, had the specifics that we needed (first floor, appliances), and just plain looked nice. That left us with only two real options and I hadn't had the chance to walk through either.

So, last Monday, Andy and I made plans to walk through the first option. It is a little place in Fairborn. Come to find out, it is also real close to the Campus.

When I had been there a few weeks earlier they were offering 2 bedroom 2 baths for $599. We went and walked through the model and they told us that until the end of the month they were running a special - 2 bedroom 2 bath for $499 a month. That's $1200 over a year!

We went home...made some phone calls...sent some emails...and prayed. Two days later Andy text messaged me from work saying he wanted to go fill out the application that afternoon. For $499 a month, on the ground level, with appliances and two full baths - it was hard to pass up.

So now, we are waiting for the paper work to go through. In reality, if this is going to happen, we could be moving boxes again within a week. The idea of having our own place is so thrilling. We had both of our parents in for Thanksgiving this week (pictures on that are coming!), but it wasn't technically "our house". We have been laughing and talking a lot lately about what having our own home would be like. We even bought a Christmas tree and picked up decorations from my mom in anticipation of the holidays.

Stayed tuned for the latest developments! We could know as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday!!

Looking for a new home...

(This is Andy)
So i have two exams left, and i don't feel like studying for either of them. So instead of procrastinating, i decided to create a long-awaited post. : )

We will be out of the house we are currently in, around mid-December. So we have been shopping around for places a little closer to campus to rent.

It's a bit a pickle because we don't have tons of money, now but in 6 months, i should have an engineering job and be sitting, well, much better off than we are now. Thank you college!

So right now we are looking for an either small rentable house or 2 bedroom apartment. If you guys know of any, lead would be greatly appreciated.

We know God is involved, but we are just not sure how he wants us to go about this. Is it too spiritual to ask for an amazing deal? or are we just suppose to smoothly transistion into a normal apt. near campus like most people. Well we haven't figured that out yet.

Thoughts, prayers or wisdom are always appreciated.

We love you guys!
