Ok, so I get to Provo a day before Max because he stayed in Reno for the baptism and I have a wonderful slumber party with Leah. Then I go to our apartment. We had a tiny apartment we lived in all last school year with a washer and dryer and we only payed $375 a month. We love saving money so we rented it out for the summer and were going to move back in this Fall. When I got there, alone, i was disgusted. The upstairs neighbors were trashy for lack of a better word. There were molding clothes in the washer which was right next to our front door. The yard was full of junk. The furnace was shut off and had a condemned sticker on it. Inside our apartment, our summer tenants had taken really good care of it, steamed cleaned the carpet, and cleaned very thoroughly. However, water started leaking from the upstairs. This happened on one occasion last year but it was all cleaned up and seemed to be fixed. There was also what appeared to be mold on the ceiling where the water was coming from and who knows how long and how extensive the mold was. I call Max freaking out (He is still about 6 hours away at this point and feels somewhat helpless.)
Some moldy water damage. 
We decided to look at other apartments becuase it didn't seem too healthy to stay in this one and our health shouldn't be sacrificed for saving money. We were planning on moving into a bigger apartment sometime this year anyway. I luckily had a whole week before starting school to apartment hunt. However During that week I couldn't unpack and organize our house which is what I was planning on doing. We spent the next couple of nights spending the night at some friends' houses who lovingly took us in. After a couple nights of being vagrants we were able to move into our new beautiful home. We found a duplex in a wonderful quiet and forested neighbor hood. There is a washer and dryer and a dishwasher and 2 bedrooms and a carport and a front and back yard (for the hammock) a front porch. etc. Oh yeah and it has 10x the amount of closest space and 8x the amount of windows as our old place. (we had 1 window in our old place.) And we got a really good deal! We will post pictures soon. We have still been working on organzing and unpacking all our stuff. We love it here!
