Change of Address

We are moving! We found this house for lease just down the road from where we are now. We do not want to buy and are excited that we can stay in the same area. So, it's begun. Our walls are beginning to be lined with boxes. As if we were not squishy enough. The boys sure love the boxes. Their Rescue Heroes now have mountains to climb. Boy am I glad we massively dejunked a month and an half ago!!


New house excitements:
-A BACKYARD!!!!!!!!
-A garage so I don't have:
....tools in my closet (we even have an air compressor in there too)
....paints and stains and under my kitchen sink
....bikes at the storage unit
-Getting to have my full size washer and drier. Goodbye stackable
-More cupboard space in the kitchen
-An office
-A playroom!!!!!!!!
etc. etc. etc.


Even when we lived in the scariest place known to man, a part of me was sad to move. We create memories and routines--it's saying goodbye. This little townhouse has been a good home, even if we are popping out at the seams. (I had to put that memoir in.)

What a great house! How exciting! So, you're leasing? I've always wondered...what's the difference between leasing and renting a house? We're in the process of buying one right now...and WOW! there's a lot of paperwork!

We're excited for you Wendy! Those are some major excitements! Your boys will LOVE it.

That house is really cute! I know what you mean about being excited for a back yard and full size washer and dryer. We currently have a patio with sweet astro-turf and a couple of small storage closets full of all sorts of tools...

Although with 3 kids I'm sure you're way more bursting at the seams than we are!

The house is so cute! I am soooo excited for you! Did you get the couches??

Wendy said...

Nicole, YES! and I LOVE them!! They'll be perfect.

Brooke, If I'm right, leasing is a more fixed commitment....A set $$ amount and set amount of time. Renting is month to month.

Congrats on the house and more especially, having your hubby home!
