We Found The “One”

Alrighty so we’ve finished our House Hunting and we’ve made a decision. I knew it was something good about the house that we chose as the address is our anniversary day, I had to blab again. It has everything that we need, nothing is leaky or terribly outdated. The backyard isn’t enclosed but it’s not really a big problem. We’ll be losing a bedroom, bathroom, and dishwasher but that’s not a big deal. Our new future bedroom is soooooo much larger than the 4 bedrooms we have now. We really don’t use our second bathroom now, well Greg does , and if I can’t bare to do dishes by hand I’ll look for a portable dishwasher. With the loss of 1 appliance, we gained 2, a washer and dryer. They are in the kitchen. I know some people freak out when seeing the washer and dryer in the kitchen (on House Hunters) but it doesn’t make a difference. I’m just grateful we can wash clothes in the comfort of our home and save our quarters. We also get to save on pet “fees”. They originally require a deposit of $200 per dog and $100 per cat, but they’re letting us pay $200 for both Caesar and Simba. And we get that $200 BACK whenever we move out. Now the brothers can live together once again! Management probably wouldn’t mine if we got another cat, Greg wants one of his own. We shall see. They may let us paint, pending color approval. Guess I should pause my House Painting Ideas. The neighborhood is really quiet, a lot of new homes have been built throughout the area and across the street from us. That means no loud college students! Oh and the house is gonna get a fresh coat of paint on the outside. I think it looks fine now, but whatever. I’m so excited, I ready to pack up now! It’s gonna feel good not having to drive to the mailbox and the office to retrieve packages. I really don’t think it’s the office’s business how many packages we get. It’s just a thing I have. I like to buy just about anything off of Ebay and it’s not their business if I’m a shopaholic or seem to be one. It doesn’t mean we’re rolling in dough either. I shop on Ebay to SAVE.

Anyway, what we need to do now is possibly get a 10 day extension on our current lease. It’s up July 31st and the house won’t be ready until August 10th. We also need to come up with our deposit for the house, we can pay half and half. We should probably have it in the next two weeks, the sooner the better.

I guess I should talk a bit about the house on the country road. It was old and outdated. Things were falling apart inside. The basement was wet. The owner refuses to put much money in it. I did like the enclosed yard, that’s it, booo. Until next time!

lol @ Greg’s cat comment… lol. I remember a time when he used to call the cat a “bitch” now he wants one!! lol.

Sheena, I’m sooo glad that you found a house! Looks like you’ll be getting away from those young whippersnappers. lol. We have a washer and dryer in our kitchen too… I hate it, but it does double as extra counter space. lol. I just don’t like it because the kitchen is tiny, and when I’m trying to cook, my sister’s trying to do laundry, and there’s like nooo space! But with you and Greg only, it should be a problem. I can’t wait for you to start decorating and painting it! And taking lots of pictures!
