A place to call Home







alright so lets just say that the last few weeks of life have been miserable in the sense that we are house hunting or looking for somewhere to live. Jeff has been working and is running calls through the night so he isnt exactly excited about the thoughts of looking at a million apartments all over the place (and I completely understand). So to make his job easier I have spent an insane amount of time on the internet scoping out all of the places that may be worth his while. Alas no luck but one apartment close to the mall which had no openings until the end of the month. The price per month was alright but by the time we brought little whiskers into the picture and added the extra money for a deposit we would have to practically sell our firstborn to pay for the large lump sum due at signing. So we kept looking and he kept talking to co-workers and found us a place in a house.

When I say he found us a house I don't mean a little shack I mean a nice house take a look and you will see what I mean. The pictures above are from a website about the house. No that furniture isn't included unfortunately but we have some old stuff that will do the trick! So we are getting this for $50 dollars less a month, we have no deposit, no set or determined lease, and we dont have to rent a storage unit to store all the stuff that wont fit. This place is 150o+ square feet. A guy that Jeff works with is selling the house and is having no luck in the poor market, so since he has no-one in the place he is willing to give us a deal so he has some money coming in to pay for the mortgage. The only drawback is that if he sells the place before we are ready to move out we will have to move again...its terrible to say but I hope that house does not sell! So we don't have any dates or anything figured out for moving that is all in the works but we have a place I think to actually call home.

Oh on a side note it has some extra bedrooms so anyone that is wanting too can come and stay with us, we have plenty of room now. Come one come all.

Holy Hannah! Rach, that place is BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited for you guys! I hope it doesn't sell too! Haha! Let's keep our fingers crossed! That will be a wonderful place for you guys to be. That becoming available to you guys for such a great price was certainly a tender mercy.
