not much time left in my lunch but i have to tell you all about the crazy turn of good luck we got...
WE GOT A PLACE!!!
it's a 2 bed, 1 bath duplex. $1125/mo (people who don't live in CA, have a heart attack now!) 1 car garage, front and back yard, shed for storage, the sweetest landlords ever, and it's really nice. i will post a picture of the outside of it this weekend and the inside in about a week.
we move in next week sometimes, after they buff the floors and buy us a fridge! yaay!
