Sorry it has been so long. Please don't give up on me. Working full time is a drag. There just isn't enough time in the day. Logan and I have been spending much of our free time on the internet trying to find 2 bedroom places to rent. Apparently the house boom has created a housing shortage. Not only are there too many people moving here a day - they have put a stop to any new building contracts until they catch up on what they are trying to do now. So that means that the 2 bedroom or more places and being snatched up as quickly as places to buy. That, and the people doing the renting don't return calls - because they don't have to. Renters will pursue them - they don't have to call you back. So you have to keep calling and calling.
Today we walked to a place right behind us. The actual apartment looked great. And she assured us that they were renovating the whole building. Right now, it had plastic runners over the forest green, worn out shag carpet, with brown glass hanging by a chain light fixtures in the halls and stairs. Not a great first impression.
It was nice - but didn't blow us away and she said that they were going to be making a decision today so someone could move in July 1st. So, count us out!
I am trying to contact (hound) two places right now. Cross your fingers. One is a duplex with 3 bedrooms, a fire pit in the back yard and a washer and dryer to ourselves (a huge plus for me - I hate shared - there are no rules or etiquette to it and people take your clothes out of the machines and put there's in!). The other is a row house/townhouse bi-level in the area we are in now. I haven't seen it - but if it is the ones I think it is we will be very lucky!!

Miss you,
