Our New House

I promised more information about the house we'll be renting for the next year. We signed the lease this morning, so now we have all the details!

The great thing about this house is that it was a bit of a hidden gem. A series of circumstances caused it to be a little under-marketed, which meant that, even though it would be considered very desirable, it went without a tenant for quite a few months. Because of that, we were able to make a much lower offer, which means we get ALL this for not much more than we're paying now:
  • 1300+ square feet
  • three bedrooms and two bathrooms
  • HUGE master closet
  • washer, dryer, stove, microwave, and dishwasher
  • awesome yard (not too big, not too small)
  • two-car garage
  • very pretty neighborhood with a tennis court
  • garbage pick-up
  • free moving truck rental

...and--wait for it--

  • our very own pool!

So, needless to say, we were very excited about our find, and the realtor we are dealing with is so nice. The house really is in great shape--it just needed a little TLC, such cleaning, lawncare, etc., which will be taken care of for us before we move in. It's located off of Old Lake Wilson Road in Indian Ridge near the Mystic Dunes Golf Club, and that's all I'll say for internet privacy and safety reasons. (Don't wanna tempt fate--or robbers.) If you are someone we know and love and you'd like to eventually send us some mail, contact us and we will give you our new address! If you are feeling especially strong and charitable on Monday, April 27, come on over and help us move if you want! Beer and pizza await you!

WOO-HOO!!! I wish I could come over on the 27th, but Mondays are horrible days around here with about four different things happening at the same time.
I'm so excited for y'all as I know you've been wanting more room AND A GARAGE!!!
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
LOVE y'all,
