Our house...

So we got the house we wanted...finally.

I don't care if you're looking for new, or old, or renting, or buying - house shopping is terrible.


In our case we were looking to rent, mostly because moving to a new area and buying a house at the same time didn't sound like the best thing to do in the current market. The problem with renting, however, is that if you've ever looked at rentals before you know that a lot of times all that's regularly availible are the market extremes - way too expensive or just junk.

To make a long story short, after couple of disapointing walkthroughs and nothing less than a stroke of luck, we got a great house. It's never been rented before, has a wonderful yard and deck, and most importantly Jada likes it.

To make things even better, everything we need is literally like a block away. Jada has yet to use a full tank of gas since we got here - that was over a month ago!

Alright...I guess that's it for now. Soon I'll tell you guys about some of the cool stuff we've found to do here.

Congrats!!! I certainly know that finding a rental home can be very difficult. I am glad to hear that you found a nice place. Now we need bring you a home warming present! Maybe sometime Mike and the rest of us will hop into a car and come and see you all. Maybe we will all hop in a car and go mountain climbing together!!

You have no idea how much I would like to do that right now, Dustin. We miss having you guys around. Hopefully we can work some type of camping/climbing thing out soon!

Also, anytime you guys want to come up and spend a weekend in springfield then just let us know. We have tons of extra room. It would be great.
