Apartments and Opinions

One thing I've learned in the short time we've been engaged is that everyone has their opinion. We are blessed that so many of our family members and closest friends are truly excited for us, more so than I honestly expected even. I think I've felt myself becoming overwhelmed with the barrage of opinions and ideas directed towards us though. Some are hilarious, and we more than likely won't take action with them. Others are definitely things to consider. What I have come to realize is that as much as I appreciate and love all of the support that we've had so far, we will have to ultimately decide for ourselves what is best for us. We won't ignore what wisdom people have for us as we choose our steps but we won't (and physically can't) put every single one of them into action. It has been fun making decisions that will actually take place now instead of all of our hypothetical "we should do this when we're married" conversations we had when we were dating.

I've been looking at apartments alot lately, and as much as I would like to buy a house right of the bat I don't see that as being possible right now. At least while Cassia's in school and working part time and I'm making what I am now. I think the best route for us is to spend as little money as possible on an apartment that'll suit our needs. The one we looked at today defintely is a big possibility I think.
