- WE ARE OFFICALLY... -

renters!! - we're not 'settled in' quite yet, but it's getting there - i've already finished, both bedrooms, kitchen & bathrooms - we're mainly working now on spike's office & closets

`

we had movers pick all our things up on friday morning, drive it here to the rental house, our 'new' home, unload what all we needed here, which was a HUGE job as now we've a stairway going upstairs & it's not an ordinary stairway - this' a little old house that did NOT have an upstairs & recently one was added - you go up 3 small steps, then make a hard turn & go the rest of the way...making it a tight squeeze for taking up large items such as a king sized boxpring/mattress, large chest of drawers, 2 small chest of drawers, a short/wiiiiiiiiide chest of drawers, 1 full sized boxspring/mattress & a ton of smaller things - they then drove all the rest of our belongings to our storage shed that we'd rented some months back when we were in the 'starting to pack' stage & lastly the next stop was to my parents house to drop off a swing that we didn't need/couldn't use any longer, that they wanted - it was at this time that the real 'move' took place as we'd to find 'homes' for everything we'd brought with us [can we all say UGH, really loud??]

`

this house will work out very nicely for us & we're grateful to be here for the short time we're needing it - we didn't have to sign anything at all/contract as the guy, boy that we're renting it from [i say that because he's very young] has never done anything like this before - this' the first house he's purchased to fix up & rent out - he's never been a landlord or had renters before so we're the 'trial family' [what a family to use as a trial family as we've got: 2 adults, 1 teen, 3 toddlers, a newborn [soon] & 2 indoor cats!!]...matt, that poor, poor landlord

`

we've a kitchen, entryway/my computer corner, spike's office, laundry room, 2 bedroooms & living room - everythings smaller in size, but it's all there! - we've a cute little backyard with a porch we can sit/swing on & also a small front porch where we can sit & watch traffic [if anyone would ever come down the road]

`

we'll be here until sometime in october & then we'll be making our final move to the 'big house' [the kids words] - when we get there, we'll have all the room we need/ever want & are very excited about the thought of that - so, until, we'll be residing right here, all snug as bugs in a rug
