I filled out a rental app. today for an apartment in Virginia. It looks like hubby will be going sometime in July and the boys and I will join him in August or September. It all depends on the apartment. Well, I should say it all depends on God.
I had 4 apartment options yesterday morning. Well, 3 really because, frankly, the furnished apartment is just too expensive. So, while surfing the net I found www.apartmentratings.com. It turns out the cheapest one, that I was already suspicious of, has a cockroach problem and lots of drug deals. Now we're down to 2. The ratings on the next one were so-so. Apparently they are cracking down on the drug dealers and there have been alot of arrests lately. Only periodically does it reek of poison (at least they have no roaches) and puke in the halls. Hmm, does that make me feel better? 1 left. It got pretty standard ratings. Normal apartment type problems. We used Google Earth to check out the area and it looks pretty good. Much better than apartment central where the other places were. It is also closest to where hubby will be. So, I filled out the app and now we are on a waiting list.
I haven't lived in an apartment in 10 years. And I have two little boys. It will be unfurnished and since we're only going to be there a few months we will decorate with blow up mattresses and a few toys. But the family will be together and that is what is important. What an adventure. Can't wait. I think.
