The view while watching Ted and Taylor play
ultimate frisbee with their Madison Mennonite Church team.
We have finally ended our huge tour of the Midwest.
Home-hunting in MKE was stressful, to say the least.
It didn't work the same way it did in Tallahassee where we could call and people could usually schedule an appointment within 24 hours.
Instead, most Craigslist ads were e-mail response only and many DID NOT respond quickly...or at all.
We drove around a lot.
Looking for rentals, getting to know the area, and just checking things out because we didn't have anything else to do.
Despite the stress, I think we have ourselves a lower flat.
(It's very popular to have a 2 level house and rent out the upper and lower level separately. We have our own door entrance, washing machine/dryer, etc.)
We only looked at 3 places (one was canceled on us and then we canceled the last one).
The one we decided to apply for is only 2.5 miles away from my school, only a block off of a semi-popular street of bars and shops, and located in the suburb of Wauwatosa (aka "Tosa").
We're still waiting to hear back from the manager, but our previous rental managers should be providing some stellar references for us. We left the last place looking AMAZING.
I'll let you know when things are (hopefully) confirmed.
We drove to Madison on Thursday afternoon and spent the evening with Ted and Taylor at the MVS house. SO happy to soon be living so close to them.
Taylor joined us for breakfast at Madison Sourdough Co. and then we made the 7.5 hour drive back home. (I even brought back 2 tasty loaves with me.)
SO GLAD TO BE BACK.
By the way...36 days until the wedding.
Boy, do we have some lists to make.
