Marc and I have been looking at apartments online pretty much forever trying to decide where we want to live. We decided that we are ready to actually move into one but that is making things so much harder. Here is the story, Saturday was General Conference, not much time to get out look and come home to watch. I started stressing out because I am going out of town this weekend for a wedding. Marc doesn't get off until 5 and all places close at 6. We were going to look Thursday, but my travel planes were changed around, so now I am leaving Thursday afternoon. When were we going to be able to look together?
Monday Marc was talking to his manager and told her how crazy things have been. She was so nice and told him that if he would make up his hours Saturday, he could have the day off and we could go look. He came and picked me up, we went to lunch, then the hunt was on! We went to one that we saw online but hadn't been in. I think there might have been some incentive to get a lease because the lady talked to us for an hour and a half! We only looked at 2 floor plans! Then we went to one owned by the same company, but one we had looked at before, maybe I am strange, but I don't think I could used a washer and dryer older than me! Not to mention the one we would move into had laminate peeling off the counter! Definitely, crossed off our list! The next place I am not even kidding, I think the lady was a gypsy and read our minds as we walked through the door! She gave us the key and told us to check it out on our own. Let's just say I felt like I was walking through a maze. I was so confused! The washer/dryer was stacked and I am pretty sure could only do one piece of clothing at a time, no thanks! Next place, SO pretty, I fell in love with the office the rest had to be great too right, we tell the lady what we want and she replies, well, we don't have any opening up until December, but we have one 15 minutes south of here, um too far. So she gave us the number of a guy that you hire to find the perfect place for you, no thanks I can do this, really I can! We went to a few more places, all of them tried to convince us that they were ending their specials this week and we needed to hurry to get a good deal! Oh please, don't try that on me! My husband is a salesman, he knows all your tricks! We went over to Marc's parents to relax and take a break. They are out of town but Ryan, Whitney, Stefan, and Teagan were there. We spent time chatting and eating and in the spa. We felt a lot better about things. Then when we got home I looked up a few more apartments and found one that I fell in love with! Marc went and looked at them since he was meeting with a client close by, he liked them too. So we are going tonight before they close! Wish us luck!

Good luck! I hope it is exactly what you want.
We really liked our old Apt. Sun Creek at 59th and Greenway! They have great move in specials, low deposits and free cable.. it was way cheap too. We paid $780 for a large two bedroom.. with washer and dryer. + if you tell them we told you about the place they give us $400 bucks that we would split with you! :)
