So officially when we get back to NY in 2 months we are homeless.
The college says no way to us staying in the open suite, even though it is open and nobody will be using it. My parents have offered a place for us to stay, but there is not a lot of space there, and I am afraid that there really will not be enough space for us to be there comfortably. So now we are looking for apartments. I think we should live in the ones where Greg lives and say we are cool like him, but I really want Nick to seriously think about getting a house. I have three motives to this.
1- If we get a house we are paying substantially less, for more space and more freedoms. I am all about freedom when it comes to monthly payments.
2- If we get a house, all of the money goes toward paying for US, not for paying some "dude" who will not let us fix things ourselves, and won't fix things for us in a timely manner. I am all about being Ms. Fixit and not paying "some dude" to do things for me. Go Independence!!
3- If we get a house, we are more likely to stay in NY forever. Ok maybe not forever, but having a place to call home makes it more likely for us to not want to leave home. That's how I feel and I know that Nick will feel the same way if he thinks about it.
So now I am spending my free time looking on the internet for a place of our own. I have a couple houses that I have found, but in interest of making it seem like I am trying harder to appease Nick, I am also looking at apartments. So far not a lot of luck, but I think once college kids start clearing out, there will be more space for us. Here's hoping... know any good places?

Do you have a particular town you want to live in? I can certainly look around. I would buy a house for sure, unless there's anything that indicates the job might not be long term.
Missy says you can stay with us.
I would like to live anywhere in the Utica/Rome area. We found a couple decent places online in Rome and I think being that far from work and family will be good for us. My parents won't be tempted to come see us every weekend, and we can definitely see them if we need to for a night. My mother is elated and that's all I really care about. She started painting my brothers room ahead of schedule so that she can start mine soon after. I think she is nuts, but at least I have given her a reason to get the room ready for sale... one day she will live in the in-law suite. She will be too demented from working with kids all the time to say no.
And btw, apartments suck!
