So Tyler, Addilyn and I went to Maryville today to look for a new apartment. I went last Friday with my parents to look and found a few leads for us, but today we went with a mission. We were going to look at an apartment that was recommended to us from one of the competing realtors. And we did. It was nice. It was bigger than the duplex that we had found on Friday but it was on the second floor which was a big strike against it for me. Anyway, we ended up calling one of the numbers on our list that we hadn't gotten to yet and found another available apartment. That was quite a feat considering almost everything is taken since the college students start back this month. Anyway, we got a hold of the owner of this available apartment and he said to come on over to look at it. When we got over there we discovered that he was in the middle of installing new flooring (hardwood laminate). Other than a little bit of mess from the changes he was doing, the place was pretty clean with a fresh coat of paint on the walls. While it is older, you can definitely tell it has been taken care of for the most part which was surprising considering it was just a few blocks from the college campus. It's got a few quirks like a square bath tub, saloon doors to the master bathroom and a walk in pantry in the kitchen. The most striking things is the amount of open space. This place is huge!! It's the entire main floor of a house and the bedrooms are very large, much larger than the rooms we've got in our current apartment. We are even going to be able to use one bay of the two car garage which we're pretty excited about as well.
Anyway, we thought we'd give you an update. Now the only thing we have to worry about is actually moving. If any of you are willing to help with that, let us know. We're pretty much open to moving any weekend between now and September 31 since that's when we have to be out of the KC apartment; it just depends on when we'll have help. As always we are not above bribing with food and you'll be able to boast that you've seen our new place and the super cool town of Maryville, MO which is very important, right?

We are available Sept. 8 (but not Sunday), the 22-23, or the last weekend in Sept.
I'm probably available... I could do child care :)
Well, it's football season, which means weekends are tied up, but I'm free on the weekend of the 22nd. I could also come up late on the 15th and be there the 16th to help.
