room for rent?? Anyone? Anyone?

So, I'm really glad that I named this blog "The Abundant Life" cause sometimes I don't feel that way... it's a nice reminder I suppose. It's been a rough several weeks for the Hooten house. You know when you get to that point where you don't even know what to pray for any more and you just wish God would come down and say, "Hey... do this." --- well, I'm there. I'm tired, I'm frustrated and I absolutely hate money. So anyway, I think what we need to do is move. Don't freak out... I just mean move to a different apartment. I've been looking on the internet for 2 days already and it's an absolute nightmare trying to find apartments here cuz there's like a billion of them. So, I thought I would blog about this little predicament and maybe, JUST MAYBE, someone has a suggestion or has some good info for me. At this point, I wish we could just move back into our little attic that we had when we first got married... no really... it was an attic transformed into a bedroom with a bathroom. So if anyone knows of anyone or any place that might be worth checking out please let me know. And say a little prayer for us if you want. Prayers are always good, especially when I feel like I'm out of 'em.

OH girl. You have no idea how much I needed to read your post today. I was sitting in the hospital with Brad today and when they told us how much it would be... I cried. What is the deal with money. UGH! I will tell you that our apartments are pretty great. And not too expensive. But seriously what happened to college rent? Like $250. Good grief. Um, Let's chat at church this weekend or good grief give me a call! Know that I will be praying. I feel ya sister. Love you.

Girl, I understand. We have a guest bedroom... it's not a loft, but it's up for grabs if ya need it. Living tight is no fun.

Also... a suggestion... when we were looking for apts, we used an apartment locator. It was great and it's free. When I think of the name of it, I'll let you know. The best part about it was that they would find out about any specials the apartments were running and you didn't have to do the research. Greatness. I'll be thinking of you and Clay during this time.
