Oh what can I say about this house. How about... I LOVE IT!!! This house has been so worth the wait. I am just absolutely and totally in love with it. Although it is only a rent house, it is just as exciting to me as if we had bought it. We will probably never come across a rent house this nice for the price we will pay each month, with the added feature of being brand new. I am truly counting my blessings each time I think of how much I love this house. We have been very blessed.
Before I share pictures, I will tell you about our move. It went great! My dad came to help us with his truck. We started at 9:00 and didn't finish until about 6:00. Normally we would have had to rent a uhaul truck, but since we were only moving about a football field away, we just used Dad's truck and our cars. It was really hard work, but we did it. Jayden was so good throughout everything, too. He got to play outside most of the time, so he was happy. When we finally sat down for the evening, my feet were throbbing. Even my toenails hurt to the touch. It's crazy to think how tired I was because I didn't do any of the heavy lifting because Dad and Nick did all that. I had it easy lol. We now have everything (mostly) put away and where we want it. We had a little bit of trouble deciding where to put our furniture because, even though the area is large, they just weren't fitting right. We think we have it figured out, but we may change it later.
Features I love about the house:
1. Dishwasher. The only time Nick and I ever enjoyed a dishwasher was when we lived at Grandma's house while she was on her mission. It was like torture when we moved out of her house and into our duplex in Seneca. Going from having one to not having one is a big change. But now we have one again and it is so great. I keep looking over at it and just smile. Washing dishes by hand is kind of relaxing for me, I never really minded doing it before, but it was annoying.
2. Double-Rod Closets. Never had these before! I highly recommend them! Our clothes were always mushed together and got wrinkled because I didn't have enough room for both mine and Nick's stuff in one closet. With the combination of both of our work clothes and regular clothes, there was no room left over. Now, Nick has the top rod with more than enough room to spare. I have the bottom rod, also with more than enough room to spare. The only think I can see that some people might not like is that there is little to no room to store things on the closet floor because your clothes are so close to the bottom. I kind of like it because it will prevent me from cluttering the closet too much. Jayden's room has double rods, too, but I have his stuff on the top. He would pull them out every other day if I had them on the bottom. 3rd bedroom has them, too.
3. 3rd room. It is obvious to a lot of people why we are so excited about the 3rd room. I always refused to even think about bringing a new baby into that old trailer, especially because there was just no room. Now we have room. But until then, we have it full of boxes waiting to be unpacked. Nick is going to set up his drums in there, too. It won't be too much longer before we turn it into a nursery, but until then, it will act as a much needed storage area.
4. Tile floors. Who doesn't love tile? It's pretty and easy to clean! Only complaint I have is how cold our feet are going to be in the winter. Guess that's why they make rugs and slippers!
5. Okay, this is something I hate about this house. I have a little red bird in the back yard who is obsessed with our door. I can't figure out if it's a male or a female. I keep thinking if it's a female, maybe she is trying to fly inside to build a nest. If it's a male, I think maybe he sees his reflection in the window and is attacking himself. Either way, every morning he flies repeatedly into the window at 6:00 AM sharp. Then again at 4:00 PM. I have surprised him several times to try to scare him away, but so far I have not succeeded. Nick threatened to get the BB gun out, but I think putting up some mini blinds will do the trick. Hopefully. Stupid bird.
Okay, picture time!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you guys!!!!
