Woo!

What a busy week!  Dr's appointments, bank appointments, new car pick up, dinner with grandma, birthday breakfast with a best friend, long talks with another best friend, rental place viewings and overtime for Jer!

We picked up the new van on Thursday night and it's AWESOME!  I'll take a pic of it after it's freshly washed...because it's white it gets dirty quite quickly!  But it drives really nice and it's beautiful inside!!

We also went on Sunday to view a house that is for rent and it is also GORGEOUS!  It's got a huge fenced back yard, 4 bedrooms and a finished basement.  It's got a deck off one of the one upstairs bedroom so we likely wouldn't use that as a bedroom as it's too small for us but I worry about the kids going outside when they aren't supposed to!  The basement bedroom is HUGE so we'd likely put the boys in there as most of their stuff (video games and whatnot) would be downstairs anyway.  It's all hardwood/laminate/parquet flooring and it's in a nice neighbourhood on a cul-du-sac.  We filled out an application and are now waiting to hear back.

In the meantime, there is another house we're going to look at on Friday afternoon.  This too is beautiful from the pictures we've seen.  It has 4 bedrooms as well, a bit smaller yard but it's fenced as well.  The master has an en suite with jacuzzi tub (squee!) and there is a hot tub.  This one has a possibility of being a rent to own situation.  It's in a great neighbourhood as well and Jonah would be going to a new school but he already has friends at this school so it would be an easy transition for him and he would be able to finish out the year where he's at now.  This one needs a little more from us in the way of a reference letter from out landlord, a personal reference as well as proof that Jer has been at his job for as long as he has been.  All of which are no problem :)

Either way, I really don't care which one at this point...I just want out of where we're at and into a place where we don't have to share walls with the neighbours!!!  I've been sharing walls with neighbours since I was 16!

We plan to stay in the new place for 2-3 years and then buy a place of our own (or do the rent to own, depending).

Anyway, so that's what's been going on for us for the last week and why I haven't posted in 6 days.  Back to trying to post everyday again!!

Happy Tuesday!!
