Well, here it is ... our new home!  Because we were beginning to get panicked about finding a place to live in New York, we decided to send Derek to search for housing.  He only had three days out there, so we did a lot of praying that it would all work out.  It was a very stressful trip, no vacationing! :,(  But in the last hours before his plane left, we found this apartment and we got approved!  The process for leasing an apartment out there is insane ... they won't lease to you unless you make forty times the amount of your rent and New York rent is not cheap!  You can get a co-signer, but they have to make eighty times!  Luckily, they let us combine two co-signers' income and pay three months up front and then they would approve us.  WHEW!  Thank you to our Dad's who were willing to be our co-signers, we owe you big time.  Now you have something to hold over our heads.  Uh oh.  Anyway, despite how stressful it was, we really were blessed to have it all work out and we feel really good about it.  Thanks to all of you who sent us info and helps about finding housing or people to contact it really helped us figure out the process and the areas.
