We're Moving: Looked at the House

Alright, so I believe in my last post, I talked about the house for rent that's owned by Lipscomb that's right next to campus, where my wife works.  I wondered how nice it actually is, and couldn't wait to go take a look at it. Well, yesterday we went over there and saw it.  It's pretty small, but not obnoxiously small.  It feels like we would be losing space form the bedrooms, and gaining space in the living room and kitchen. Decent trade-off, I suppose, but the only concern I have is storage.  We have a lot of crap jammed into this place, and I know we're going to do a purge of unnecessary things that we don't need to take with us, but what about stuff like, my drums?  Christmas tree?  Things like that.  The place didn't have a whole hell of a lot of storage space.  I guess those are very small details, details that will work themselves out, but we decided that we would like to have the house, if possible.  So I believe the email declaring our desires has been sent to the proper people and I guess we'll see what happens.  We're excited, though.

A yard that we don't have to mow, by the way.  That will be nice.  It's a small yard, but it's still a yard.   A driveway.  I don't know, it's just the little things that have me excited about the move.  A change in scenery. I'm sick of looking at a hotel parking lot.  Oh, it's got a dishwasher, and it looks kind of new and nice.  We didn't think this place would have a dishwasher. There were washer and dryer in there, I'm just assuming that's the current tenant's, but those hookups are int the kitchen as well, which is fine. Now, I know that moving into a house that you're renting isn't as exciting as buying a house, but it's still pretty cool to me.

Oh, also, fun story about the current tenant, we would have been able to look at the house sooner, but the current tenant was out of town, visiting her husband's family....in Marquette, MI.  Small world, eh?
