Apartment

On Saturday Ben and I went and looked at an apartment we had found in the newspaper. When we got there, Ben happened to know the people that were showing us the place, which I think just happened to be a big bonus. The person that actually owns the place lives in New Mexico right now so his mom manages it for him. They told us that there was another person coming to look at it later that day, but we had a pretty good chance of getting it because her son knew these other people and didn't want to rent to them. She told us that we would know by the middle of this week. Well, the other people never showed up to look at it (one benefit of knowing the people renting it).

Yesterday we got a text from this lady's other son (that Ben is friends with) and he told us we got the apartment. It's $450 a month and that includes all the utilities. It's super, super tiny but for now it works and fits in our budget. We might have to get a storage bay for all our stuff that won't fit in there. There is some storage there, but I'm not sure how much. We are super excited for it! Ben was so cute yesterday when he read the text. We had just gotten to his house. We got out of the car and he ran over to me and picked me up and started spinning me around. We don't have any pictures right now, but I will post some another time.
