I woke up this morning on the verge of tears. This process of finding an apartment is so overwhelming and slow. Every place we like is taken within like a day so there is this overwhelming pressure to act fast.
Yesterday we found one that we loved everything about except it is a 2 bedroom. And not just 2 bedrooms but 2 very small bedrooms. Oh why did I even look at a 2 bedroom?!!! It is in an amazing location, is brand new and beautiful, it has a HUGE terrace and even a shared common garden with green grass for the kids to play on which is super rare to find. But the 2 bedrooms just haunted me as I tried to fall asleep last night. How are we ever going to fit anything in this apartment? How are we ever going to be able to have guests? It is also much cheaper than we have budgeted which makes it interesting too. I know we could afford bigger but will it be as nice? This has everything including light fixtures already in place and tracts for curtains already installed. It has a washer and dryer and dishwasher...Oh what to do?! Our neighbor Randy said he feels like finding an apartment is like finding love...there will be some things that are not perfect but there is no perfect place. But do I concede the 3 bedrooms?
Today we are going to go look at the schools in the area and I am desperate to feel some leading from the Lord. Please pray for wisdom for us today.
I was hoping the apartment hunting would be fun, but the added pressure of making a quick decision is so overwhelming I'm sure. You will do such a great job setting up the apartment that I am confident you will love whichever one you chose. SO excited for you to get to your new home and settle in!
