IOWA

Joe and I just got back from our trip to Iowa to find an apartment. It was a really great trip, even though both of us missed our boys terribly. I just had to keep reminding myself that if the boys were there, we would probably wish they weren't so its a good thing we left them with Grandma Peggy. Joe and i stayed with the Ross family, and they did such a great job taking us around town and helping us find places. Sarah Ross would give me tips on what areas were good and family oriented and which areas were a little more shady. It was so nice to have her input. I would hate to sign a lease and then find out after I've moved in that my neighbors were also drug dealers or something. She even took me to an enrichment night held by my future ward so that i could get to know some of the girls. Unfortunately i don't have any pictures to post of our new apartment. I was kicking myself that i didn't bring my camera. anyway, its a two bedroom apartment with a washer and dryer. It also comes with a dishwasher, a disposal, a mounted microwave, and even a fireplace! This apartment was way more that Joe and I could have ever asked for. I will post pictures if i can find some on the internet.
