House Hunting

I hate moving? Absolutely despise it!

I have checked everywhere in about an hour radius from us. To find something that is within our budget that has at least 3 bedrooms has been a real pain in the ass.

I found a nice house. It was older and had small bedrooms. Was painted a variety of colors. Had a big back yard, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath and a full basement. Plus I could have pets. It was $850 a month. They decided on another family. Big disappointment.

I found a really cool apartment. It had a living room and dining room. The kitchen was tiny, but it had a dishwasher and a garbage disposal. There was a half-bath in the living room. Upstairs was 3 bedrooms and A full bath. In the master bedroom there was another half-bath. There was no yard for the kids to play in, no play area like some apartments have. It was $695 a month, unless we signed a 2 year lease, then it would be $665 a month. I could have kept my pets for a $200 deposit and an extra $25 a month. I liked it. Bubba didn't.

I called everywhere. Checked in the papers, online, rode around and called every place that had a for rent sign.

Our credit is shot and we wont pass the credit checks. That's been a major problem.

I found another house. It has 3 bedrooms and an open loft type room. It has 1 bath. The house is small. Has a big backyard and is $800 a month. I can keep my doggie but not my kitty. I cried after I got the message that she wanted to offer us the house.

But, I found somewhere. we have to get rid of half our stuff to fit in there. But, it's a place to live.

The neighborhood sucks.

My sister-in-law (and her family) and mother-in-law went to check the place out. I asked my sister-in-law would she come visit me and she said in the day time.

she also told me that if I get out there fighting with like 20 people, not to call her. If it were 2 or 3, she's come help whoop their asses. But at 20, I would be on my own.

The 3 places before that one is burned out and condemned. there is a house on the street that has weeds growing from the second floor window.

We are suppose to meet and sign the lease on Monday.

In the meantime, the house next to said sister-in-law went up for rent today. With a fancy realty company. Shit.

It's a pretty brick house with 3 bedrooms and a full un-finished basement. The huge backyard is fenced in. The rent is $725 a month and it's in a great neighborhood. oh... AND I could keep my pets!

My mother-in-law co-signed for us. But, out credit is really crappy. I bet her co-signing wont even help us.

It would be perfect, though.

I don't have my hopes up.

That would be too easy. Cheaper rent, very nice neighborhood and my heart wont be broken over getting rid of my cat.

Yeah, my life is never easy, so I know that's not gonna happen.


Did I mention I hate fucking moving?
