Right now it looks like I may be moving into a house with a friend who taught 5th grade with me briefly last year. It seems to be the only option that would save me any money... Even though I could technically (according to all the rental place qualifications) be "safe" spending up to 1/3 of my income on rent, I think it would be a massive waste of money. 1/4 or less would make me much happier.

So, I think I'm in search of a 2 or 3 bedroom house closer to Steve that allows dogs. Starting in June. I hate moving! We'll see how this all goes...
