WE FOUND A TEMPORARY HOME

Guess what.....we have found a home. It has been a very stressful time but knowing we will have a place to live next week is such an answer to prayer. Thank you everyone! It will cost us more than we really wanted to pay but we know it is only for a short time. The places we have looked at were not worth it. One was so gross the kids and I thought we would be sick. The funny thing is the realtor that showed it tried to tell us it was clean. It had a fly strip hanging in the corner of the living room and beer cans in the storage area. Not our idea of home sweet home. LOL So off to the next house and while that one was clean it had gas wall heaters. When we left we had a headache and smelled. Decided right there that was not the house for us either.

Yesterday; we went and took a look-see at a townhouse in a development. It turned out to be old military housing that was off post. It was nice but we weren't 100% sold. The kids were already making their plans and with 4 bedrooms the boys were happy. Who was going to sleep where and all that. So we hop in the car and drive to yet another house.

We were a little early for that appointment so we stopped at a gas station for a snack. Turns out they had local homemade ice cream. The kids just had to have ice cream.....they have been going through withdraws since leaving Grandma's. LOL So there we sat eating ice cream in about 20 degree weather.

Once we were all finished with our cones we went to check out the last house on the list. Turns out to be an old house with a leaky basement and only 3 bedrooms. The house was cold and dust not to mention we would have to use the bedroom on the first floor for all our stuff we stored in the garage making the kids share one room. There was also the issue of doing wash in the basement. I hate unfinished basements that have cob webs hanging from the beams. It wasn't my cup of tea at 12 and it isn't now.

So after some thought (not much) we decided on the townhouse that was willing to do a month-to-month lease. They were even willing to wait and hold the place for us until next week with a deposit of course. Hopefully our household goods can be delivered on Thursday or Friday.

So things are looking up. Tomorrow we are going to church at the same one we tried on Wednesday to see how service and Sunday school is. This I know will be hard for Cheyenne and I am preparing myself for the heartache. All we want more than anything is to find a church home. So please continue to pray that we will find where we need to be to grow closer in Christ.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you.... the townhouse we will be moving into has well.....no neighbor. LOL The other half of our duplex we will be moving into is empty. What is up with that? I am sure it will have a tenant soon but it is pretty funny.

Blessings
