We're moving! Again! Ugh!
Luckily, we won't be moving far. We're sticking to COMO, but we're moving to a bigger and better place. Our current rental is.. well, it's abysmal. We've had no end to the troubles here, so we are happily moving out, even if moving is a major pain in the neck!
We have two places to choose from. The first one we found was your standard duplex rental-- no personality, tiny boring yard, and, worst of all, tiny kitchen. We loved it when we saw it, because it seemed like it would work... But then a friend said she had a friend looking to rent out her house. I was pretty ambivalent, because we had found a place already. It was perfect! Or so I thought.
We decided to look at the house, which was admittedly closer to where we want to be. We talked to the owner, who is wanting to give up living in a house and live in an RV for a while. This house... It's amazing. The downstairs/basement has a living area, a bedroom, and a bath, which our new roommate would claim for his. The upstairs/main level has the shared space of kitchen and dining room, along with a living area, bathroom, and three bedrooms, which would become our space. The back yard is wooded and slopes down to a little creek. We'd be a five minute walk from a slightly larger creek for swimming and rock collecting. We'd be within walking distance of the UU Church AND some tennis courts. This house makes me drool. A lot. I can clearly see in my mind's eye Camden having so much fun in the back yard. Hell, I can see ME having so much fun in the back yard. It would be so nice to live near a natural area again.
So, I don't know if I have many readers left. It's been a while, and I'm slow coming back, I know. But those of you who are still reading, please, please, please keep your fingers crossed that we can get this house.
