PTL!

Right now we are waiting for the application to clear for an apartment. We should now by today (Monday) or tomorrow, if we'll be able to move in. We should be able to, we just might have to pay a higher deposit because neither of us has ever rented before. So please continue to keep us in your prayers.

It's a totally awesome apartment complex. It's called Southridge and it's on Meridian next to 512. Thankfully, there's a stand of big trees between the complex and the freeway. The grounds are well maintained, among the best maintain except for the complexes that are stratospherically expensive. There's an outdoor pool/indoor spa. Free tanning. Fitness center. Raquetball court with free equipment. A community center that we can rent for throwing a housewarming party.

The apartment itself is in wonderful condition. Edit: And it's NOT apartment beige. And there was much rejoicing through all the land. "yay" The carpet is grey. Actually, the apartment is beige, they just showed us the one with grey carpet. I guess I'm kinda bummed, but I'll live. It DOES make the apartment seem brighter though, so that's cool. The appliances in the kitchen are stainless steel with the exception of the fridge. There's a full size washer and dryer in the unit. A big walk-in closet in the bedroom. A pantry. A big porch and a relatively big storage area. I'm really, really happy with it. And it's BIG. Almost 800 sq ft. And since we're signing a 12 month lease (when the app goes through), we get one month free rent, which we can take as one month free rent or prorate out for the entire 12 months, which would drop our rent about $40. It's really awesome.

Thank you Lord for bringing us to this apartment. You are so amazingly wonderful. We love you.
