We are supposed to give our 60 notice to vacate our current apartment (woot! woot!) by this Saturday. We have chosen our desired location and a month-ish ago, I toured several places and got going rates and a good feel for what we like/want etc. We knew we had MANY options, so I wasn't too worried about the timing of securing a new place and giving our notice here.
Today, we went to our favorite apartment complex after church and guess what? They got nothin'! No 3 bedroom apartment, no 3 bedroom townhome, no 2 bedroom townhome and no 2 bedroom apartment with study. Like, at all. With no availability in sight.
So we went to two more places. One had one available, but it was ugly, overpriced, we needed to take it on my due date or pay an even higher rate for the length of the lease, we needed to buy or rent washer and dryer and Makafui fell while we toured and I got covered in fire ants when I was picking him up. It was definitely a sign-that place was not for us.
After checking online and inquiring with 14 places (that offer 3 bedrooms, I checked many more, but they only had 1s and 2s) in our desired area, we got nowhere! Mostly, there is no availability. There were two I didn't even check because they had really, really terrible reviews and there was an option or two that were a solid $1,000/month above our budget...but they may not have had any availability either, I forget.
In short, I have no clue where we are going to live. However, I know it will work out beautifully, we just have to wait and see....

Oh no!! I was so excited for the place you had picked! So stressful I'm sure, this sucks! I'll keep my ears open. I'm sure this means there is someplace else you are supposed to be, hopefully it will come available sooner rather than later. Have you tried our old complex?
Thanks, Kristen. I have tried your old complex-the location is awesome. There is just 1 & its y'all's old floor plan but the "nursery" is still an office & I don't think we can handle room sharing quite yet! I'm sure everything will work out...I think we're gonna give our 60 days anyway.
