We’ve been staying at our current 2-bedroom apartment here in San Jose, CA for more than 2 years now. My husband and I are actually living with his mom and younger brother so the 2-bedroom apartment setup isn’t really what I’d call ideal. His mom and brother share one room, and my hubby and I and our baby stay in the master’s bedroom. So we decided to look for a 3-bedroom apartment in the North San Jose area where we currently are.

We saw a couple of places for rent/lease in the area. But most of the 3-bedroom apartments we saw are quite expensive, and the cheapest one was $2700! Luckily, last Tuesday, my hubby chanced upon a posting on Craigslist for a 3-bedroom apartment just across the street from our place and it was only $2,050!

So we applied and were approved! Yay! I believe it was a favor from God because my husband has bad credit but the landlady was kind enough to consider my mom-in-law’s credit. She was even kind enough to allow us to move in even though all we could give her yesterday was the $2,500 1-month deposit and cleaning fees! She agreed to let us pay the remaining balance of $2,050 by mid-Feb because it was a really quick decision on our part to just move, partly because she wanted us to move in as soon as possible.

Right now, I’m packing all of our stuff while hubby is at work. He’ll be home early though since we need to move already. I must admit that my task of packing everything while taking care of a baby boy is a challenge, not to mention having to write some blog posts! LOL! I probably won’t be online much today and tomorrow because of this but I just wanted to share this unexpected blessing to you. Have a great weekend everyone!
