We must be running from the Law...

Because we are moving again....(Yes, for the 4th time in a year....)

Well, at least hoping to anyways. Our landlords decided to raise our rent $200 in January, due to the fact there water and electric bill have increased. We are very annoyed with the situation-due to the fact our water use is extremely minimal and we don't leave anything on during the day. They alone upstairs take 6-8 showers in any given day, and have ignored our request to fix our running toilet.

We have been happy here for the most part, but laundry is an issue as well as not having a bathtub. They have hardwood floors upstairs, so we hear every step they take. We hardly use the 2nd room and wouldn't use it for the baby anyway when he/she arrives. Insulation is awful...and we had an awful mosquito problem this summer.

So we did some talking, and came to the conclusion that if we are going to pay more anyways, we should do our best to find a better more convenient place to live, that we feel safer in. We put alot of work into cleaning up this place, so its kind of going to be bitter sweet to leave. We have viewed a few apartment complex w/amenities and have been really pleased with what we have found so far. So we'll keep you updated..the search goes on..

You do what you have to do. Don't think I could live with a "bug" problem...ask TJ..I go nuts when I see an ant in the house. Good luck finding one that suites you both. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Hang in there.. the right one will come along. It's a real shame that they want to raise the rent. The place is really cute. Take care of yourself and we will talk soon!
