Well, my sister and I had a good long talk this week and came to the decision that it's time to part ways (in terms of living together). So we are free to see other apartments =)
Wil and I have been excitd by the idea of when we would have a place of our own again (same with my sister) but it's still been an emotional week. It's gonna be hard not to see my niece every morning and night...but I think the farthest we will end up living away is 10-15 minutes, so hopefully I will be able to get my fix often enough!
Now I am left with some great anxiety about what to do about moving. The puppies would LOVE to have some yard, and after 8 years together in apartmens we are burned out on apartment community life. I looked at a townhouse yesterday...down a pecan-tree-lined, dead end, street. Quiet, homey. It's about the same size as our current apartment, but with a cute fenced in back yard. Only problem is the new management compant is going to renovate this fall and that means ALL NEW insides(what I wouldn't give for an oven that bakes right) but a higher sticker price than we were hoping. Something we could handle, but we always talk about cutting expenses, not making more (we just finished paying off a car...about the same difference as the extra rent we would pay). What to do! It's made worse by the fact that Wil is travelling this week and I saw the place all by myself...so now I have to wait until Wil gets back to see it, then we can make a decison and either move on or prepare for moving in. I did my research and have not found any other places that are similar (for the price and yard) within the areas we want to live. There are only suppossed to be 2 1-bedrooms coming open this fall...in a 97 unit place, that's not too many! So I also feel some pressure to decide so we don't lose out. My income will be going up after I get my licensure (around the time we move), but do you bank on that and decide to move on up or play it safe?
If anyone has any sage advice to calm my nerves, I am all ears! Uggghhh...more updates to come!

I say MOVE ON UP!!! If you can't do the townhome thing, have you looked into rental houses in Irving?? If it makes you feel any better,,,I'll probably be looking for new digs when my lease is up next summer.
