I think we found the best apartment!
Apr. 10th, 2014 09:22 amWe're in my hometown right now, sleeping on my sister's couch, and it's so good to see my family again. She's got two 6-year-old twin redheaded boys that are sweet and hilarious, and my mom's just as kooky as ever, lol.
We've looked at a lot of apartments, and we think we've found the right one. It's perfect for our monthly budget, and it's really nice. We don't make enough for most of the apartments around here (and most of them have been nice enough to tell us before they took the application fee! :o) but this one has some tax credit units for low-income families, and we make just enough over the minimum that the landlord said it would be no problem. She was super friendly and helpful, and she seemed like she really wanted to get us as tenants. Good thing I have 15+ years of customer service experience, because it's really haaard, but I can be really friendly and polite and approachable in person. I think it helps that I'm short and unthreatening and kind of cute XD
We're waiting on my boyfriend's mom to mail us back a notarized document stating how much she'll be sending us a month to help out, and then we're going to turn in the application and wait and see if we get the spot. I'm really excited about the place (it even has a little pool!) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we do.
We wouldn't have been able to make this trip and find this place without your help, and I'm so grateful and glad that the community is so generous. I really love you guys <3
We're still a little short of our goal for the cat deposit, which is the only thing that's a little too high at these apartments (it's $500, and we're a few hundred short), so if you could spare a few dollars it would be so much appreciated! My GoFundMe account is here (and you don't need a paypal acount, just a credit or debit card, and your contribution can be anonymous or not, or if you have paypal and want to help you can send it to duckducknoose@gmail.com. We really want to keep our little guys with us. We've had them for three years, and they're like our kids now.
Again, thank you so much for your support, whether it be money or ehugs or good wishes or positive energies wafted our way. I love the SPN fandom, and I'm so glad I found it, even before this moving thing. You guys are the best, and I've made so many wonderful friends here :)
