Why I want to move

We looked at the apartment and we like it. It's bigger, has 7 or 8 closets, and the room that will be Ryliegh's is already painted pink. It is a basement apartment however, and the ceiling is really low.... like we'll have to get different bookshelves cause ours won't fit..... but we'll deal. We put in our application and we have to wait for it to get approved and stuff, so hopefully we'll find out on Monday if we got it or not. Then we'll have to see if everything will work our money-wise, and in breaking our lease for our current apartment.

But unfortunately Ryan and I both love the idea of moving and will be sorely disappointed if it doesn't work out. Not to mention all the things we would love to leave behind with our current living situation. Here are just a couple of excerpts from our current leasing office's blunders.

There's signs up for a yard sale they were having through out the development. The signs read: "Yard Sale Sat 10-11 9am-?"...... so I thought maybe they meant Saturday the 10th, through Sunday the 11th and just kind of left out the word "Sun."..... but there's no yard sale today so who knows what they meant by 10-11, 9am-?

Here's another one. They sent out a notice that there will be work done on the concrete around the development. Here's a sentence from that note. "Please try and park your cars, kids playing, walking away from these work areas."...... Ummmmm..... what? I mean, I'm smart enough to figure out what they meant, but seriously, you would think that people who run an entire development would at least have some knowledge of sentence structure. They write stuff like that all the time.

But please don't analyze my blog for proper sentence structure.... blogging doesn't have to be grammatically correct. :-)

I'm not sure if the failure to understand grammar and syntax is a reason to move - but having another room for the future little one is definitely a good reason to move! We're praying that it all works out!
