I found us an apartment! It is at 48 Bevier Street in Binghamton. It is easy to get on the highway and is a few blocks from Otsiningo Park. It is a one bedroom townhouse but all of the rooms are large. Downstairs is a living room, dining room, kitchen and 1/2 bath. Upstairs is the bedroom and a huge full bath, I'm trying to figure out what the most ridiculous thing to put in the bathroom because it is so large (maybe a christmas tree).
When looking for an apartment we wanted to be deliberate about not moving to the 'burbs or a complex. We wanted to be safe and have a nice place but also did not want to insulate ourselves from the realities of poverty in our area as well. After looking at this apartment I knew that it met these criteria. It is not the worst neighborhood in town but there are people living there who are trying to pay the bills day to day.
The plan is to start moving things on Monday and drive to get Sarah on Thursday, returning on the 13th.

Good job Eric !!
judy :)
dearest daughter-in-law,I know how much you love what you are doing and how how much you hate to leave. I wish I could tell you something profound to make you feel better,but I can't.As you watch Kentucky dissappear in your rearview mirror, know that you have made a difference in people's lives.A hug here, a word of encourgement there, a reading lesson or giving a book that changes someones life, you have planted seeds that will someday bear wonderful fruit. I,on the other hand am selfish,and am glad you are coming back north. You and your husband are missed, as you will be in Kentucky. Your husband, being a bit of his fathers son will be satisfied for a while, but soon will talk you into another grand adventure, I'm sure. Carpe deim, Sarah. Love, Dad Y.
