The Hunt is On

No one ever told me that it'd be easier to find a cute house to buy than a stupid apartment to rent. Oh my goodness, I'm getting a little frustrated and overwhelmed!

My friend Amanda and I decided we needed to move in together, so we started apartment hunting and came up with a couple of criteria for our home:

1. Needs to have at least two bedrooms and two full bathrooms... we don't like sharing. Not that we can't, but we both have lots of stuff (meaning too many pairs of shoes, purses, jackets, skirts, etc.) so we need the room. Ideally, we would like a double master suite, but those are hard to come by in a floor plan that we like and a price range that we can afford.

2. Needs to have lots of closet space. Like I said, we both have lots of stuff... we are girls.

3. Needs to have a washer and dryer in unit. I hated lugging my laundry downstairs when I lived in Colorado each week and sitting in the laundry room until it was all done. UGH.

4. Needs to be in a safe area and well lit... again, we're girls.

5. Needs to be centrally located in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area because of work and family and church.

That's pretty much it. If you know of any cute places or if you live somewhere great and want to recommend it, please let me know! We aren't in a hurry, but we want to be in a new place in a month or so.
