Finally... all settled...

Why helloooo...
So the last post was a bit of a stress/vent relief for myself! LOL! Yes the appraisal went through and we sold the house!!! We were out house hunting b/c we were hoping to get the tax credit for first time home buyers since I would be a first time home buyer. Well no... they look at the entire household and with Dave having bought a house, we weren't considered first time no matter how we 'signed' the paper work and all. So that did put a kink in our thoughts... With Dave not having a job, if we bought a house that would put him as HAVING to get a job in the Atlanta area. We went apartment hunting and found it to be cheaper, large enough, and some had garages for us to store our things in that wouldn't fit into the apartment. We found that renting an apartment would be the better way for us to go and it would also leave Dave open to find a job anywhere. He's been looking anywhere in the South-East area. (MS, AL, FL, TN, GA, SC) We also found a great one bedroom apartment with an attached garage. We went ahead with just a one bedroom (it was cheaper and it had the attached garage) because we said if for some reason Dave did get a job else where we would need to possibly be able to afford two apartments and doing a one bedroom is the cheapest way to go. Honestly now that we're moved in we aren't cramped at all (except for our closet!!). It's been great, our living room furniture is all up here and spacious. The only thing we wouldn't mind having is two bathrooms (LOL), but that's it!! It's been nice. We do not have anyone living above us, and we live above our garage and our neighbors garage, so we do not have anyone living below us either. It's a very nice apartment complex too. We were even able to bring up the futon for any guests that we might have. We might only have a one bedroom but we do still have room for guests!! AND I'm about 30 minutes CLOSER to work!! Ahhhh that's been nice!! We were living 45 minutes away from my work. So with that said... works been going... and we're finally all settled in. Now on to getting Dave a job!!! It's all finally falling into place!! Thank God!! Hope everyone is going great. Come and visit anytime!!

Peace Out!! For now...
Dave & Jess
