After Arrian found out for sure that he would have funding for this new quarter at school, and after he found out how much it would be monthly, we started looking for a place to live that wouldn't take him almost 4 hours a day!
It was great living with my family, and we are so appreciative of their generosity, but we needed a place closer to campus...
....and
....WE FOUND ONE!!!
The first day we looked (this second time around, we looked before, in August) we found a duplex that was available and we loved it immediately!
It was right in our price range, only 5 miles from Arrian's school, it is a DUPLEX, and we are on the top floor (so no stranger all around us, and no worrying about waking people up if Brielle cries at night), and it is in good condition! Here are just some pictures we took when we first looked at it! Within a week we had signed papers for it and we had a place to live! We found it the 3rd of January!
There is a pretty Magnolia (we think) tree in the front yard!
A huge bonus room off of the kitchen that we can use for a dining room/play room!
The wood floors are all the original from the house and they have been kept up well. They are squeaky...but we can live with that!
The kitchen is fine...as good as can be expected in a really old house (was built in the 60's).
Hallway to the rooms.
Front entryway and coat closet! I LOVE having a coat closet!
The bath tub is the original one, and has some chips in it, but it is clean and that is what counts!
As I was walking around the house I was thinking "man, if there was a carpeted room for Brielle this would be perfect"...then I saw the bedrooms and yes! one of them was carpeted! Yay!
Our room is small, but it is big enough for our bed and wardrobe thingy, so it is ok (barely big enough)!
And there is a closed in deck! Brielle loves the deck!
So there it is...our new home! We are very happy with it...and while I can't wait to find and own the house of my dreams...this one will do nicely for now! We feel very blessed to have found it. Oh...I didn't take a picture of the third bedroom, but there is a third bedroom and right now Arrian is using it as an office! Yay!
