Moving Along

Obviously one of the main things when getting married is fiding that place that you are going to live together and be poor. We to save on money, we thought it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a house. Or well we were just thinkin a little single wide trailer! So we found one, and we found out we could get a ten year mortgage on it! BONUS!!! Well we went and looked at it, LOVED it. But then when we got home, we got to crunching numbers. And we probably would either be REALLY tight on money, or not even be able to afford it after a few months. And we didnt want to rent in the first place just simply because you dont see your money back. All you get when you move out is your deposit. But with a house, and you can sometimes even make money on it! So to make a long story short, we decided renting would be the best option right now. So last night we went and looked at an apartment that had really good reviews and was to be honest quiet nice, but of course with quality comes price. And we had to find something that was a two bedroom one bathroom at least because in January Jud would move in to the apartment, where Jessie (his 2nd oldest sister) would move in with him. So that also added to the cost. Well after getting flustered we called it a night. Then this morning Jud decided that we needed to give it another try. So while I was waiting for him to get to my house I started doing some research trying to find apartments in town that were decent and cheap. I mean we're college kids, we need cheap! :]] Once he got to my house we went and looked at numerous apartments. Then Jamie (his 3rd oldest sister) called him and was telling him about an apartment that one of her friends lived in that was by porters. So she met us in town and we went and looked at them. They were ok, but they didnt have a two bedroom one, and they were full until april. So we started looking at our other options. Then Jamie told us we should go look at rentmaster! And its just this little building where they have anything and everything as far as housing goes that you can rent in rexburg! So we looked on their little bulliten board and there was a duplex for $500 bucks a month and an apartment for $475 a month. Both of which were two bedroom one bathroom. So they gave us the keys, and we left to go look at them. First we went and looked at the apartments, we LOVED it, we loved the price even more though! But we decided to check out the duplex also. We went and looked, and while it was big, we didnt know what utlities came with it, or how much it would be to heat it in the winter. We also didnt like how it was layed out, it was just aqward. So we decided to go with the apartment. We went back and filled out and application. We are so excited! All of the walls have been repainted, new carpet, and new tile in the bathroom and kitchen. So once we got our application in we found out that there are two other people who have also put applications in, but they have left them both messages and neither of them have called back to set up a time when they could sign the lease. Then the lady told us that she could probably give us a call sometime around 10 in the morning to tell us when to come in and put our deposit down, and sign the lease! So hopefully we get the apartment and the other guys dont look at their messages! But they said that they could have the apartment ready for Jud and Jessie to move in by January 9th. Originally it was the 10th, but me and Jud start school again on the 11th, so of course moving him would be no fun! So cross your fingers and hope we get that apartment!! I love it! There is lots of storage, a big living room, the bedrooms are good sized, and the clostes are huge. PLUS the kitchen is really big too for an apartment! :]] LOVE it! Can't wait!! I just hope that it all works out!

Welcome Home

Well Jud is home again! Thursday night he surprised me by coming to my house- when I thought he was still in Georiga! On his way home from Chile! I think that is one of the best surprises I have ever gotten! :]] Needless to say wedding plans are going wonderful! We ordered flower girl dresses, and baskets, and some crystals for the lights. All of which are now here! Lexi, Josh and Tish's crazy girl, tried on her dress last night. Its a little big, but super cute! She is going to be the ring bearer, while emma, another one of Jud's nieces and my little cousin Brooklin, are going to be the flower girls! So cute! Me and Jud have also decided to buy a trailer, or manufactured home if you will. We have found one down in Millhollow, a cute little community about a mile down the road from my parents. But the house that we are looking at is going for 14,500 obo. So hopefully we can talk them down on the price! And of course hopefully there isn't too much of a catch! So tomorrow we are going to look at it, and go to banks to discuss getting a loan or a mortgage. So depending on which option and bank suits us best, we will trasfer there, buy the house and live happily ever after! :]] Or so we hope! :]] If we do buy the house, Jud and Jessie will move into it in January when Jud and I start school again, and Jessie will be graduated from Evans on January 19th. So hopefully all works out as planned! It would be awesome if the house works out for us and has what we want! :]] Another thing we are doing tomorrow is going to the cocoabean, and tasting cup cakes for our wedding!! :]] SO excited for that! And lastly, we are going to go check out how much a tux rental is! Which hopefully shouldnt be too bad! :]] Everything is working out nicely, and I sure hope it continues that way! OH also, I finished my second semester at EITC last wednesday! So I am done with School for a month! :]]
