Yeah...we have an apartment!!

We came ,we saw, and we conquered. Yes, that is right folks we now are the proud renters of our very own apartment. And I must admit in my eyes it is perfect. Greg and I have been searching for the last couple of weeks for the perfect apartment, and let me tell you it has not been easy. We have toured several very bad apartments and met a few very weird people living in them. At one particular apartment we were thrilled to tour it with four other couples. After the tour the owner told us and this is no joke, "Whoever can get the check to me the fastest gets the apartment." Yeah we totally just walked out of that one while the other couples rushed for the checkbooks to see who could write the fastest.
I rather enjoyed handing over our deposit today to our very nice new landlord, knowing that I would not have to look at another apartment for a very long time. Our apartment is a very cute two bedroom apartment with a lot of space, and the best part is it is right in our price range. We will be moving in about a month which gives me plenty of time sort and get rid of a lot of junk that we have accumulated.
I definitely think that Greg and I have both grown from this experience. I definitely learned to be patient. I think Heavenly Father just wanted me to wait it out a bit, because I'm sure in the future it will come in handy.
