Ok, so it's not really a home...but it will be our temporary home until we figure out what God has for us after I graduate in May, 2010.  After a few days of endless searching, we finally stumbled across a little apartment complex in a super convenient location.  The complex was built in 1986, but has since been renovated several times.  Although the cabinets and appliances are a little outdated (to say the least), we think we can make this little apartment "home" for the next year.  It's 1,000 square feet, has two bedrooms, two baths, huge closets, and new carpet.  Also, the complex has two pools so we are excited about that!  It's 8 minutes from California Pizza Kitchen, 12 minutes from Downtown, 18 minutes from my practicum in New Albany, 5 minutes from the gym, 15 minutes from church, and 15 minutes from my parents house in Fern Creek.  Honestly, it's more than we could have hoped for (for the price) as far as location....the only thing we are a little concerned about is safety.  In the grand scheme of things it's a nice area of town-- just 2 miles away is one of the most ritzy neighborhoods in Louisville-- but, it is right across the street from one of the most ghetto Walmarts in town, plus it is right next to a busy expressway...which bothers us a bit.  I called the local police unit and asked about crime in that area and the cop reassured me that it is a safe complex...but still, I read some sketchy reviews online about the general safety of the complex that really freaked me out. After much thought and prayer, I realized that I am probably worrying a little too much over something that really isn't in my control.  In reality, when are we ever truly safe from harm or danger? Crime happens everywhere, all the time.  Furthermore, no apartment is ever as safe as a home.  So, we just need to be careful and take precautions while we are renting. I realize I need to trust God to keep Josiah and I safe, no matter where we are.  After much discussion, I left the final decision up to Josiah and he truly believes that the area is safe enough for us to live temporarily.   So, East Chase Apartments will be our new temporary home.  Josiah moves in on Saturday.  Next on the list:  BUY FURNITURE!!
