yesterday i did a lot of searching for a home in minnesota... craig's list seems to be one of the best options.. you can narrow it down to results with key words like "yard" or "house"... because we'd like a house with a yard!
i found the PERFECT one yesterday... it was a little outside of town (for farmer charles)... a redone house with granite counters and a gas stove and wood floors and a fireplace.... and it also had a garage next to it with HEATING and an extra living room. which the dogs could live in... and a yard... and then friskey could still come with us. but when we called today, the man laughed and said that someone's already committed to renting it. figures. so the search continues.
it's kind of fun to look... and also kind of stressful and frightening. who in their right mind is going to rent to an 18-year-old-looking-couple (by that i mean we each look 18, not that our relationship looks 18 :\) with 3 dogs and a cat from cajun country? WHO?
and how in the world are we supposed to know what area to look in? orrrrr how i'm supposed to commute to campus every day? or how we're supposed to know rules about when to move our cars for snowplows to clear things up? or even how to drive in snow? or where charlie's going to be working or should even look for work?
i'm excited.
i'm scaredtodeath.
let's go.

- My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
hey boo!

padmapper.com...the BEST way to find rentals! You can narrow your results, and it literally pops up all available rentals fitting your criteria on a google-map. It's so easy...and kindof fun!
ReplyDeletei've actually been using padmapper, too! i think i just like how you don't have to click on every link to get an overview of the rental. but yes! i'm sure i will be using that when mom and i start scouting it out!
