Weezy! Alexa and I decided on a place to live for the next six months. Or, for her to live for the next six months and for me to move to in May.
It's actually in Belleville, a place I have often ridiculed for its slightly more hillbilly aspects. Belleville is not a place I would have ever seen myself living. It's really right on the border between the east side of Ypsi and Belleville, so I would almost argue it's more Ypsi than Belleville. For some reason I've always had a disdain for Belleville. Call me critical.
Anyway, we both really liked it for a couple of reasons: 1. It's fairly inexpensive. It's about $150 dollars cheaper per month than all of the other places we looked. 2. It's pretty damn big. It's about 850 square feet and considering we have little to no furniture it will feel pretty spacious.
We'll be moving March 2 which is coming up pretty fast. We definitely didn't look as early as we should have, but I think we're ending up in a pretty good place. Some friends of ours used to live there and they said it was a pretty good place to live and that the management is pretty great.
Our apartment will be overlooking a nice area of green, which will be perfect for Lucy to walk around and explore. It will definitely be good for Alexa to get out of her house and have a place of her own. (I'm sure she'll blog about that, though.)
One downside, and not a particuarly big one, is that we don't know anyone currently residing there. A few of the places we looked were being considered quite heavily because we knew people living there. It's nice to be able to hang out with people without having to travel.

I agree about wanting friends in your building. It's difficult to leave at two a.m., especially in the freezing cold weather, but this may give you an opportunity to meet some new ppl. (That's what Mom told me about living in the seminary.)
