In the scheme of things, Tara and I haven't been apartment hunting for long. But on Thursday the search was not going well. Several people weren't returning calls. One nice apartment was tiny, as was to be expected. Another apartment in a big complex looked like a hotel, and was overly expensive to match. The last one we got in to see was right on Park Avenue, with great hardwood floors, black and white art deco tile in the kitchen, and it was a block away from school. Turns out that nothing was included with its rent (which was already above what I wanted to pay), and heating, sewage, and various other things that are included rose it up out of my budget.

We walked around, trying every place with a sign that said for rent, until we ended up back on Salmon and stopped by the Fountain Place, which had told us a couple days ago that the one bedroom had been rented. Turns out a new one had just opened up.

We've just put in applications, so it's too early to say, but assuming everything goes smoothly, we will soon be living in the most perfect apartment ever. Affordable, hardwood floors, south facing windows, big windowsills, big kitchen, nice management. Completely awesome.

So if we get this, none of you have an excuse not to come visit. Assuming we get some furniture, that is.
