more apartments!!

so we went over to raleigh yesterday and looked at two apartments. well actually not so much! one we found by the GPS and parked only to find that it was closed for a little bit. i think the folks in the office were off showing an apartment or something, but as we sat there looking around we thought that the neighborhood wasn't exactly where we wanted to live. plus it was kind of a long way from the hospital i'll be working at. So we decided to go on and try the next one.

The second one looked really nice online and it was in a good location/neighborhood, but they didn't have any apartments to show us because they were all full. So they said to call them closer to the time when we wanted to move in and they would see if they had something available. So we went on back to Durham and hung out and then i went and babysat for the evening. had a great time chilling out because the girl i was babysitting went to bed at like 7:15 and then i just watched TV until the parents came home. I didn't watch the duke/unc game, but i hear it was good, and as i was coming back home i saw tons of smoke coming from campus, and i figured that we won! If that doesn't make sense you should read Danielle's blog today about what this tradition is all about.

Today Audie and i went to Raleigh to see more apartments. We stopped by one that was closed today, but we gps'd it to see how far away it was from work and decided to keep it on our list, and go back next saturday to see it. We went to the next place only to discover it was WAY to far away for my commute and it was out of our price range anyway, so we didn't even get out to see it. Then we made our way to the third place, and we thought it was way too small, but as we went back to our house we figured out that we loved the area it was in, it was set out away from all the major roadways but close enough to a lot of good stores and yummy restaurants. So while we will probably not live at that place, but we're going to look at some others along that area, i'm pretty excited about the places we found online when we got back home today!

so our search is over for now, we have crossed three off our list and are still finding some great places that we want to look at next weekend or beyond! I'll keep you updated. OH and Amber asked what the program was that Audie downloaded so i'm going to give you the information. it's called Sweet Home 3D and it's really cool! you can even make things all different colors and try out different looks and stuff. I hope you guys can play with it and have fun working on your own interior design stuff!!

Overall we had a great weekend, i loved not doing any homework and finding some good stuff out about the apartment situation. hope your weekend was just as great!
