Now Auditioning...

Last night we went to a pool party at Marc's boss's house. It was warm during the day but it is surprising how cool it is at night. We made a fire in his patio fireplace and had S'mores. They had a plum tree and a lemon tree in their back yard which was fun to see. The plums were delicious and they said that it bears fruit year-round. I was talking to Amanda, Marc's coworker, Dave's wife, and she talked about her experiences apartment hunting in San Francisco. She is also from Wisconsin and said she felt like she was auditioning for an apartment and practically needed to bake them brownies to get a place. 

After church today we went back to the apartment we visited yesterday. We brought her some paperwork and there were other people looking at the space when we arrived. They brought her bakery from Whole-Foods! It was in a box so I didn't see what it was, but she went on-and-on about how good it was and how much the homeowner would like it. As they were leaving, the homeowner, Rebekah, said she liked them and she would let them know. We were still there, so when they were gone, she said she probably wouldn't rent it to them because there were three people and she likes to rent just to couples. 

The more we see the space, the more we love it. It is still lacking the two things we wanted, but we think it will work out fine. It has a large living room with stained glass windows. There are built-in bookshelves and glass French doors. The dining room is huge! It has a built in buffet with shelves and drawers. It is a big open room to the kitchen which was just recently redone. It has mostly stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and lots of cupboards. (It even has a dishwasher! We have one in our temp. apartment and I have really gotten used to it!) It has three bedrooms which would be great for all of our hobby-stuff. There is a shared backyard where we can put our grill. There are two bathrooms and the master bath even has a foot washing basin! (pictured above) 

Rebekah said she liked teachers and we had nice, honest faces. Hopefully we passed our audition...

  

We will post news as soon as we hear...
