Ugh,... How depressing.

My daughter Lisa, and I went apartment shopping today. We did our research, made phone calls, set times to look, and headed out this morning feeling pretty optimistic. :o)


It's funny how, after reading the apartment complex ads online, and listening to the managers' descriptions on the phone, you pull up to the address expecting to see this.







But most of what you find is
< this and this.

By the end of the day, all these apartments we'd looked at looked exactly the same.
Boxy blocks of concrete and wood.



I think we've settled on this.
They are pretty cute. The units are all being remodled as they come empy and before they are rented out again. They will have one ready mid-April. I'm sure we'll get it. :o)

Are you and Lisa moving in together or were you helping her shop?

And yeah, those places don't look so great on the outside but it's what's on the inside that matters...right?
