I'm going to rent

I think. Maybe. Probably?

I've given it much thought over the past couple of days, and probably over 100 miles of driving around looking at areas around the city to get a "feel" for it.

I found a decent apartment complex about 15 minutes from my favorite parking garage. It's a studio apartment. Tiny doesn't even begin to describe it! But that's OK because they allow dogs (I won't part from my Zoe girl), and the rent is less than what I'm currently paying for gas and my lease-break payments from my former apartment in Nashville. This means I can afford it. That is a very good thing. :)

Oh, and I can PAINT the walls!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that makes me happy! I HATE generic white apartment walls.

p.s. I actually called the number on a FSBO (For sale by owner). It was a cute little cottage that had been fixed up. The guy asked me if I had looked into financing yet. I mentally panicked! While I quickly explained I was only just beginning to look around, and he was very gracious in response, I realized that at this point in my life I'm not so sure I'm ready to make that kind of long-term commitment. I felt like a bride having pre-wedding jitters!

wow! you can paint and have dogs! that is awesome! i miss my studio apartment (although being married with the stuff of two people would make it crazy cramped). my old studio was so cozy and i have such fond memories of that complex. there's something so inviting about a well kept and well organized studio apartment.

Okay, so maybe I should have read this entry before I posted a comment to the previous entry. So can I ammend my previous comment? Sounds like you found a great place and the right price. Zoe, paint, reasonable rent - you done good!
