This past weekend, our little family visited a couple of apartments. On Saturday, we found what we were looking for, sort of. The place was top floor (VERY important) and lead free. There were also 1.5 baths, a dishwasher, AND a living and dining room. Mostly everything we wanted, just not as super nice as we wanted. But, the price could not be beat.
After seeing it, A convinced me on the way home that this was our new place. Not only was it everything we were looking for, it was also a great way for us to save some serious cash for a down payment on a house, something I’ve been itching for for years! So, once we got home, A called the landlord, told him he’d be right back over with a check, and on his way he went.
Given all of the things that have happened to us in the past couple of months with the apartment search, we are not yet discussing where we are going to put the fruit bowl, and if E will have the bedroom by the living room or dining room. We don’t want to get our hopes up until the lease has been signed. That means that in 12 hours, we may be able to get our hopes up!
We are going to sign the lease this evening-we have to haul our little family out to the landlord’s house, and sign away. And then, on our way home, we can begin to discuss where we are putting the fruit bowl.
