Well, looks like we are still on the apartment search. Saturday we headed over to the complex that Mindy lives in, which we found has some strict qualification guidelines, the one upsetting me the most was that each of us, individually, has to make 3x the rent in income each month. Now, being on Disability, I make just enough to pay the rent, with absolutely nothing left over, yet Phil makes very good money, so we just combine our two incomes. This complex wouldn't have that though, so because I make so little each month, we're not able to get the apartment. I was upset about it, but after seeing the apartment, as much as there was a lot of room for me to get around (it was a handicap unit), there was a few things I didn't like, such as I would have to be constantly backing in and out of the kitchen to get to the stove and fridge and sink, and the bedroom was big, but narrow, and I wasn't able to get my chair into the closet.
So the search continues. It's just going to keep taking legwork to find the right place, and I am trying to be optimistic, but it just seems we keep hitting roadblocks. I guess I figured since things have come so easy to us so far, this would be easy as well. So I will be spending this week making calls and getting all the information on places, so this weekend we know which ones to look at.
Oh...people have been writing to me asking when we are headed off to Vegas. Well, looks like that trip isn't going to happen. His work seems to be wishy-washy on the whole thing, pushing the time they need to be there back, and he is under the impression it just isn't going to happen. So that's why we've decided to start looking for a place to rent, since before we weren't going to until after we got back from Vegas. As for getting married, we'll probably do something very simple here, and spend a weekend in Vegas as a honeymoon. But right now, our first priority is finding an apartment and getting settled in, and from there we'll figure out when we'll get married.
