Things might be looking up...at least for the moment!
So, I can't believe it, but I am coming up on a year of living in Midland! Well, It will be a year in January. But this is becoming a big deal because for some reason the lease on my appartment is only 11 months. So, I have been stressing a bit because I KNOW that my rent is going to go up! I am in a one bedroom that is nice, but I don't think is worth what I pay for it! I got the notice on Saturday that my rent would be increasing by about $70 a month. But on top of the rent I also pay water the complex. When all is said and done I will be paying almost $100 more a month. If it wasn't worth the rent I was paying before, it really isn't worth what they want me to pay know!
So being the finanically responcible person that I am, I hate to even think about living month to month, I started to freak out. Those of you who have followed my blog with know that I have been sick for going on...oh like the whole time I have lived here. On Friday, I went to the Doctor AGAIN! And surprise surprise I have bronchitis. It's like clock work! Those of you who know me know that I get every emotional, if it is possible to be more emotional than I am usually. I tend to cry when I am really sick. Needless to say I was a tad bit upset on Sunday when I got to church, plus I am losing my voice and I am the primary chorister(not that it really ended up mattering this week but that is another story we will have to get to later!)
I talked to the Bishop(oh, I kind of teared up when I talked to him), let him know what was up and he suggested speaking to the RS President. Then I spoke to Sis Leach(oh yeah, I cried then.) So, there was an announcement made in Relief Society. I found out that I must have made a good imprestion on people in the ward because so many people said that they would love to have me and that I could sleep on their couches(thank you for that! You know who you are!) Two different households have offered me a place in their homes. I really appreciate it. So, know I have to decide what to do. I am leaning toward one. Am praying about which would be best for me and the family involved.
The decision is soon to come.....You should be waiting on pins and needles!
