Update

Well, we made it to North Carolina. We got here Friday afternoon, had boiled dinner (thanks Mom!) and finally got a decent night's sleep. We were looking forward to moving into our new place.

The keyword here, is "were".

This morning we drove to the apartment and went to get the keys. It all looked a little ghetto at first, but it didn't seem that bad, especially after we looked around a little bit and we talked to the manager. We went in and it was not at all what we had pictured. We had to rent it based on pictures and reviewsbecause we weren't able to go see it...this goes without saying, DON'T EVER, EVER, EVER DO THAT! Huge mistake. It was small, one of the bedrooms didn't have a closet, the windows were so old, it had been painted so many times, the sliding door to the balcony was not on right, the balcony wasn't finished...there were so many things we didn't like. There were cigarette butts all over the ground, people didn't clean up after their pets...it was bad. So, we started to unload the truck, and Cameron and I were so upset, we couldn't believe how it turned out and we felt so mislead and sad because we thought we were stuck there. But after we unloaded the truck and returned it, we talked and realized we couldn't live there, so we went to the office and asked if we could just forget it and get our money back. At that point, it was 2:30, and the truck rental office and the apartment office were both closing at 5, and if we could get everything out by 5:00, we could forget the whole thing. So, we rushed to re-rent the truck while everyone took our stuff out of the apartment. Luckily we were able to load everything and return the keys by 5:00.

So now we're living at my mom's house and we're looking for a place to live. We've found a few that we like and we're going to go look at them tomorrow, hopefully we can find one that we like and can afford, and hopefully we can find it quickly!
