The apartment search begins...

So I know I promised to continue my talk on "Going Green," and I will, however not right now.  You will just have to wait until later for that discussion. 

So...I'm finally working, getting paid, and starting to see a light in the distance.  You know, that light that signifies finally being out of this hole that I've dug myself into???  So this is where I begin my apartment search.  I know that I want to be out of my sister's and into my own place by the time this temporary job ends which will be around November/December.  I would like to be settled in by the time I start a new job so that I can focus on my job instead of moving.  Thus begins the search for the "right place" and of course...the "right price."  I don't want to be too far away from the area of town that my sister lives in, not necessarily to be close, but because I like this area of town in particular.  The thing I have to be careful about though is that rent will be very high the closer I am to where they live.  So I have to get far enough away that it doesn't cost me too much, but close enough that I'm not in too bad of an area.  I think I have stumbled on a couple decent places and I will check them out, but I want to make sure I have an abundant list before I look at anything.  By doing this I can have choices and compare options.  If anybody knows some good apartment complexes in Overland Park, KS shoot me a quick comment.  Also, I am on the prowl for that "more permanent job" so any inside knowledge on some job openings would be a great asset to me as well.

And since I'm on the subject, I hopefully will be having a permanent roommate!  The love of my life and my very best friend in the whole world might decide to move here to be with me!  I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, because it is a big decision and I want him to be absolutely sure this is what he wants right now.  The thing is that we have waited so long for our paths to cross again, and I think that both of us are to the point in our lives where we are ready to settle down and want it to be with each other.  So, if this happens, that would make rent a lot cheaper because we would be a two income family!  He will be looking for Athletic Training/Personal Trainer jobs, which I know are abundant up here in the KC area, but if anybody knows of anything specific he is just out of college and has his certification too!

Well, that's my blurb for tonight.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and if you are having to deal with that heat like I am...Stay Cool!!!!
