Division Essay Rewrite

      I live in an apartment, it's not where I want to live, or want to raise a family. But anyone starting out and in college, has to start some where. There are roads that need to be taken in life in order to be able to go from living in an apartment to a beautiful home. You need to be able to save money, its take months of searching, and then there is the moving and unpacking, all are the roads to moving into your first house.
     Josh and I have been looking for a house for four months now, we are having trouble saving money and that is the most import part when looking for a house. Most of the time when you are saving for a house you have to save double the money; one half for the deposit, and the other half for the first months rent. Right now we have a rent to pay with the apartment we are in, and we have other bills that take up our checks. Saving is hard now a days when your bills come first, but with the holidays, it becomes a little easier with bigger checks, we need to save about eight hundred for both payments.
    We started our search before our lease was even half way up, we really want to into our own house. The search has not been easy, but we know the basics of what we want. it needs to be either a one bedroom or a two bedroom, have a yard, not on a main road, and maybe have some utilities included. most importantly it needs to be right in our price range of under eight hundred dollars, especially if nothing is included. The search has been long, and hard, we haven't really found that one house yet, that meets or exceeds what we are looking for.
    The one thing i hate about moving, is oh.... MOVING. The packing, lifting, lugging, and repeat. That is how your life is for about a month during your "moving period" But if didn't move there would never be that step to your own house. Moving this time would be a little easier, just because our apartment is one the first floor, so it saves us from having to climb up and down stairs. It's lighter step than saving the money to be able to afford the place, and your mind can at rest after that, and actually choosing the place is over, and done with.  Also we will have a lot of movers to help aka a lot of friends and family, that I will sucker in with my kind words, and food, and maybe a little beer at the end of the day.
     Altogether moving and getting your own house is not easy, there are tools that you need to think of when wanting to be on your own and the responsibility that comes with that house you want. We are looking at two houses right now, both are at the top of our price range, and we have had to think really hard about what we can afford, and what we can't at this point in our life. It's a big step to take, they comes with many twists and turns, especially in the roads ahead that lead our path in life.
