Shannon and I went to Winston Salem while Kyle was at school. We planned on leaving around 8am, but left around 8:20am instead. I made a list of possible apartments that I liked and we picked 3 of them that we wanted to see today. We printed out directions to each place, that way we wouldn't get lost and help save us time (to get back before Kyle got out of school).
The first place we saw was way out of our price range! We really wanted to see it because it was in an area that we liked. Unfortunately we won't be applying there. The second place we saw is near Shannon's dream law school! We had driven by that area both times we visited Winston Salem, but never knew the turn off to get to the apartment complex. I also like the name of the area, "Robinhood" and the apartment complex is called "Sherwood." We ended up touring 3 different apartments. The first one was the townhome, but I knew we really couldn't afford it. The second one we saw was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath but the only ones available are on the second floor. Just looking out on the balcony scares me, especially with Kyle. It's not very safe to even risk living on the second floor, I see an accident waiting to happen. The 3rd apartment we saw was just perfect for us (2 bedroom, 1 bath), it's on the first floor and it's available! The only downside is that this particular floor plan does not come with washer/dryer hookups. Although, we can rent a portable washer/dryer that you hook up to your kitchen sink. Shannon and I really like it because it's on the first floor and it's on the end of the building! After we left the complex, we pulled in to the gas station on the corner and Shannon said we really should apply for this apartment. He loved the place and he loves the area, since it's quiet, nice, and safe! He also said we won't find another apartment in that price range, especially in the area that we were in! We're going back tomorrow to turn in our application.
The next step is waiting to see if we'll be approved! Hopefully we won't have any issues!

As you can probably tell from the blog title, our visit did not go as planned. First, let's start from the beginning. -
I just need to vent a bit… Just a little advice ~ If you want someone to purchase from a business that you represent, don’t be RUDE to them!...
