The Provo Rental Market

I am SO tired of looking for a place to live! Granted, it's only been about 2 weeks now that we've been looking--and only a week since we knew that we were for sure staying in Provo. But, I'm already tired of it!

Ryan and I are looking for a 3 bedroom, (or LARGE 2 bedroom), place within walking distance to campus that is within a certain price range. Let me tell you, I don't think anything like that exists in Provo! It's even hard to find something like that outside of walking distance to BYU. There are TONS of 2 bedroom places, but all of them are smaller than or the same size as our condo. Do we regret selling? Nope. Not one bit. Are we frustrated with what we are, or I should say are NOT, finding now that we've sold it? Definitely.

I realize that there are worse things than living with your parents. I am really grateful that we have a place to live for now. But, I really miss having my own place. I just want life to get back to normal. I'm sure it's harder on me than it is on my kids. What child doesn't like going to Grandma's house? And, living there is 100 times more fun than visiting every once in a while. But, I am more than ready to get things put back together in our own home. It will probably take more patience and time than I really want to take--but I guess all things in life that are worth it are the same way.

ugh... thats the worst! Are all the BYU student family housing places full? I loved them up a while back and they look really nice. Especially the 3-bd ones. I hope you guys can find something nice and big enough for your family! Good luck with your search!!
