I've been out on Craig's List trying to find us another apartment. We actually really like our townhouse apartment, but the neighborhood is less than desirable. We have some neighbors who are not only very loud, but they fight a lot. I have heard the "f" word more these last couple weeks than the rest of my entire life. I'm tired of it, so I've been seriously searching for another apartment. Plus, we are now attending church in Ventura in addition to meeting with an investigator nearly every day up there, so we are really putting the miles on our car. Although it's not far away -- probably about 10 miles -- all that going back and forth surely does add up. Besides, the mission does want us to eventually (before we leave in a year) get an apartment that's all on one level. And I'm holding out for a washer and dryer -- at least hookups within the apartment. I honestly don't care about a dishwasher, but a washer and dryer -- ah, that would be so nice!
Yesterday I thought I'd found the perfect apartment. It advertised as having a garage, washer and dryer, and a dishwasher, located in a quiet neighborhood. I was excited! The pictures online made it look desirable. But alas, the owner would not set up/work with a corporate account, which is what we have to do -- the church pays for the apartment, not the actual occupants. The realtor was all for it but could not convince the owner to do it. So we figure there must be something even better out there for us, right? The realtor said she will keep us in mind and call if anything fitting our needs becomes available, because she has rented to the church before and thinks it's a good set up for a rental. She says she often gets 30-day-notice calls the first of the month.
Thankfully, last night was a quiet night in our neighborhood.
