We found a place to rent. We still have things to work out before it is 100% but it looks like it is pretty much a go. We have found a few houses we really wanted to buy with acreage...but way over what we can afford. Steph and Dan, Kade's older sister and her family of 5 will be coming to live with Kade's parents in August, and we want there to be plenty of room for them. We have spent a few nights at Kade's parents and Kade has driven a lot to work from I.F. so we are really trying to find something more permanent, that is closer to work.
Looks like we will rent out our home to my cousin, starting August, her husband is going to do some updating. Eventually we would like to turn it into a triplex and make money off of it. I am thinking it will work out well.
This house we "most likely" will rent is a small and an old farm house. It is DIRECTLY across the street from Kade's job. No kidding he can walk, it is perfect for that. There are some downsides. It is still small, and it needs some upkeep. Kade personally knows the owners, so I am hoping we can do some work to it with their permission. Like painting and making it look less outdated. Even though it is small it is a place of our own and we don't have to share :D
It is basically in the parking lot of Ike's place. It is a gas station that is one of the main businesses there, but we are just a few steps away from pizza :D So this house will often have semi trucks pulling into the driveway to pull into Ike's. There is lots of traffic, and it is more then I want to spend a month, but it looks like our only option. Unless we plan on living with people, but I really hate doing that. I want my privacy. :D
I have a few pictures from a website. I will take some to show off once it is official. It only has 2 bedrooms but it has an extra room without a closet. They used it for a computer room, but it could easily be another room for the kids to sleep in. The rest of the house is interesting. There is a built in desk in the dinning room. The washer and dryer hookup are in the kitchen and I am not looking forward to that, at least we have a hookup :D. The kitchen is small and the rooms are too, but it will be okay for now.
outside, see the gravel, it is part of a HUGE parking lot.

Living room facing the computer room and the outside porch
kitchen sink :( so small
Front/side yard, we do get half of an acre, YAY.
You can see Ike's building and gas tanks on the left of the pic.
part of the tiny kitchen
there are the washer and dryer hookups, yup in the VERY middle of the kitchen.

This is the desk in the middle of the dinning room. Interesting :D
But it works good for us because we got rid of our desk and only have a computer chair lol
There is a storage room under the porch. I will probably never use it, it is scary. It reminds me of Wray and Cortnie's first house where their washer and dryer were kept. They said they used it once to take cover from a tornado...so at least we have a shelter if something happens, LOL.
Today they had someone cleaning the carpet. It will be ready as soon as we are. We have to get some things still figured out before we can move. I am excited to get things finally in place. It only took like a month and a half LOL.
