It's official. We cannot stay in an apartment for more than 9 months....Hopefully that trend will end!
We have found a better and cheaper place to live. It is about a 5 minute walk from where we are now, and is still in the same ward(BIG plus). We love this ward, and we definately did not want to leave anytime soon. It is a basement(that's the only thing we can afford).
PROS:
Large bedroom, bathroom and kitchen
Small(very!) 2nd room which can be used for an office and/or a nursery
495 a month!!!
Internet, electricity, water, etc. all paid for
gorgeous yard
CONS:
No living room
Solution: Huge bedroom and kitchen, with room for dining. No biggie.
No washer/dryer
Solution: Laundry mat! Once a week, for about 1.5 hours and 5 bucks, it will all be done!
cable not included
Solution: Comcast Basic Limited. 10-15 bucks a month, just the basics
yep thats right, only 3 cons with 3 simple solutions. Even when we add the money for laundry and cable, we are still saving over 100 bucks a month. We are so blessed to have this in our lives. We will be initally painting the rooms there starting the day we get back from CO this May. Hopoefully all will be ready for us to move in around Mid-May. We shall be done with 939 Cedar Ave as of May, 31st(officially). Hopefully Sis Arnold can sell the place by then.
So, Life is exciting. and wonderful. and Happy. and great. and I love my wife. And I just wanted to say and again.

$495 for a 2 bedroom apartment close to campus!!! Yahoooooo! That's really exciting!
you'll have to blog later about the pros/cons of laundromat living, since I for one could never do it. Just can't. I'll never go back. In fact, I want a WHOLE LAUNDRY ROOM next. Babies go through a lot of clothes. Also. I'm happy for you. Also. Should I pronounce this blog Les To The L I E or Les To The Lie? Because I do the first. Love you guys!
You know, you could just save on the cable by not watching TV at all. We never really had time to watch TV in college- I don't know how you would find enough time to make $10-15 a month really worth it. But wow, that is a great deal and we're really excited for you. Props to you though for braving not only the no washer/dryer thing, but also a basement apartment. When we were searching for our first apartment in Provo together those were two criteria that were not to be compromised! Melani had lived in basements for like three years and was DONE with it. After living in campus plaza for four months I was DONE with laundry-mat living. But, you do what you gotta do. We love you and look forward to seeing you on the CO trip soon!
