Decisions, decisions..

Well, our lease runs out at the end of this month. We would like to move, but seeing as we're gonna be in NC, and we have to make a decision by the 15th of this month, I guess we are staying a little bit longer in our shoebox apartment. They are raising the rent again, but we get a 3% discount since Matt works for OU. Sooo....it's not quite 500 but almost, which is a lot for a small one bedroom apartment. But ya know, it works for what we need right now. We have room to sit, to eat, to sleep....so we are thankful.

Anyway, so this means that we most likely have to sign a 9 month lease. With a 9 month lease our rent will be 475....if we wanted a 6 month it would be 485. 3 Months more is worth saving 10 dollars, I suppose. If we signed a 6 month we would be moving right around Christmas time, which again we will be in NC....sooo, if we sign the 9 month it will be perfect. We'd be moving in March which means cooler weather and could even mean snow in Oklahoma. Anyway, all this to say that we are really praying about where to move after our next lease runs out. Be it to NC or somewhere else in Tulsa. We are real hesitant to sign a year lease because we feel like that is too much time here. We're torn because as much as it would be nice to have a break from Matt's family, we will miss them a lot. And I honestly don't know what Matt's mom would do without us here. THey depend on me and Matt for so much- literally to make decisions for them, to fix things when they are broken....but ya know what? We didn't move here to take care of them. She is a grown woman and needs to learn to be self sufficient. So do the little girls- they are 13 and almost 15 now. It's high time they got off the couch and stopped watching Disney channel and helped their 76 year old granda with THEIR laundry and their dirty dishes and cleaning up their own dang messes.

I really feel we will be leaving Tulsa but it's a feeling and you cant really base much off of those. They trick us a lot.

Keep us in your prayers. 9 months seems like a long time, but it's also no time at all. If we move to another state, we've somehow got to find AFFORDABLE housing plus jobs. Soooooo that's all for now.
