We are moving. We should be out of our apartment by the end of the month. The landlords here are in the process of doing tear-outs and remodeling. Of course that means rent will be going up. Now, if I thought that the drafty windows, unlockable security doors, and the hot water that does not get hot were worth the higher rent I might consider staying, but the biggest reason we are moving is the fact that the neighborhood sucks. It is unsafe, and no place for a 7 year old to go play. Which means my daughter is cooped up inside all day. For those of you who don't know, someone was murdered right outside our back door about a month after we moved in.
Anyway, after a lot of thinking and discussing, we decided to move in with Ruth's brother for a little while. Probably for the next school year, after that we are not sure. In the mean time all your prayers are welcome and needed, and of course help with the move would be appreciated as well.

Hello Matt,
Let me know what you are looking for. Sometimes I hear about places depending on the area you are looking and what you are looking for.
My brother and his family just moved to your neighborhood from super-safe Fort Wayne, Indiana and almost gleefully tell us about seeing drug transactions and prostitutes during the day. I thought we were supposed to protect our children from these things...
