| MOVING!!!!!!! I received a call about a month or so ago saying our name came up on the military housing list....I told them to just put our name back on because we are stuck in a lease with our apartment complex until December 6. Well, I got a call yesterday saying there is a house available on December 10! They faxed me a copy of the floor plan for a 2 bedroom/1 bath house, since that is what we qualify for. I went yesterday and looked at one of the vacant houses and they are actually really nice! It would be a BIG improvement on convenience and space-wize. As some or most of you might know, our apartment now is either 925 sq. feet or 945 sq. feet....The apartment lists differing square footage on their lease than what is on their website. We have 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, which is nice. It's a GREAT deal for the money but our apartments are pretty old and we have to walk pretty far to carry groceries to our apartment and whatnot. I listed the pros and cons of this military housing and the pros definitely outweigh the cons. We still won't be living paycheck to paycheck, especially if I'm working. We could definitely survive if I'm not working, we just wouldn't have as much extra spending money. ANYWAY....So, the house was really nice....It has a garage with built-in shelves, a fenced-in little yard, a bigger patio, a dining family AND living room, and the best parts....It has washer/dryer hookups soooo we don't have to do three loads a day (right now we have the stackable washer/dryer) because we can pick out our own washer/dryer AND central air!!!! I drove by and looked at the outside of the house since we can't go in the inside because the tenants are still living there. The outside of the house we would get actually looks like it was recently painted. The only downfall of the house is that it only has one bath, but that's not really a deal breaker for us....What would have been is if it didn't have air conditioning since only some of those houses do! It's SOOOO hard to find an apartment/house around here that has washer/dryer hookups AND AC/central air...So, we really lucked out, in my opinion. Anyway, Phil and I are going to see it tomorrow after my doctor's appointment since he didn't get to see the house. Oh...It's 1,060 sq. feet...WAY bigger than what we have now! We are 99% sure we are going to get it though in December. We will just have to start packing and see if our apartment complex will prorate our rent for a couple days, which I'm sure they will do. One thing that sucks PRETTY bad is that I definitely won't be going home next year for Phil's deployment since we'd be moving now. I already talked to my boss though and I could get time off to go home for two weeks though, so that's still awesome! Anyway......That's about all I have for now. I will keep you all updated and I will definitely post tomorrow after my first scheduled OB/GYN appointment, YEY!!! Sorry if you already read all this on Myspace!!! | |
