Our new Home

We were fortunate in our rental search last July. A dentist that Thor had made contact with and became friends with told us to go look at his father's house. He said it was just now going on the market. So we went and looked and thought, wow, this is a nice big house, and maybe someday.... When we told him we really weren't in the position to buy right now he offered us a great deal. We are going to rent it until it sells. They gave us a big break on the rent and in return we do the yard work (lots of mowing and trimming) and keep the house looking good for showings. The downside is when the house sells, we go too. The realtor estimated that it would take at least 6 months or more to sell a big house like this one so we are crossing our fingers. The kids love the space inside and out. We only live on the ground level and have the upstairs available for when company comes (hint hint hint). I just keep imagining the Rock Band parties we could have here........

We also enjoy the apple and pear trees, the blackberry bushes, and tons and tons of room to run and ride bikes! The kids are filthy and exhausted every night!

The house is about 30 years old, but the kitchen was recently remodeled....granite, stainless steel (impossible to keep clean), convection oven, glass-top stove.

The old stray cat came with the house. We feed him every night. Lorili has named him "Buster." Gabe likes to pet, pull, chase, and kick the poor cat....we are working on that.
