WE FOUND A PLACE!!!!

So one of my biggest stresses is now fixed!! (Read previous post “don’t know what is wrong with me for explination!!!). We found a place!!! WHOOO HOOO!!! Signed the lease and left the deposit yesterday!!!

It is perfect, well not perfect but has the major points I wanted!!

1. Large kitchen 2. at least 2 bedrooms 3. closer to work!!!

I was really stressing out becuase we had to leave our apartment and all the places I was finding were like $1300+ and we only pay $600 now so that is a big jump, I mean I can afford it but I have become comfrtable in my lifstyle and that would definitly have to change!! Plus I couldn’t find anything closer to work. I mean 1 hour time is just ridiculous. Plus with the toll roads and gas I was spending and extra $200 a month just to go to work!!!

So we found a place that we think is perfect, as close to perfect as we are gonna get! It is like 15 minutes from my job and is a 4 bedroom ( 1 bedroom has it’s own outside access so Kris is going to use that one as his studio so he can do his msic and have people over nad it won’t disturb me!!) with 2 full bathrooms!! Beautiful kitchen!! Plus the landlord is goign to continue the yard maintenace so that is a added value, cuz I do not do yard work and Kris seemed very unenthused about doing it either!! Tons of cabinet space and a nice big kitchen, we have one counter now, I don’t even like to cook anymore because it is too cramped. Plus we will be able to get rid of Kris’ storage unit also!!!

The only downside is it isn’t a new house. You can tell it is older, but the landlord is still going to do (pay for!!!) andy maintenance needed!! I mean I don’t care if it is some huge new fancy house or not, we just needed more room!!! and now we got it. It as this maroon plush carpet that is kinda an eyesore but it feels sooooo good on your feet, I don’t even care!!!

I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!!!

I included some pictures below, but keep in mind this is how the house is now with all her stuff still in it, YEAH that furniture is DEFINITLY not mine!! I will post some more pictures once we get our stuff in nad do some major redecorating, but I am just so excited I wanted to post something now!!!!

Outside front view:

Outside covered patio with French doors!!:

 you can’t really see it but it does have a covered patio. It is like thatch but there is a clear cover over that you can’t see so we can be outside even if it is raining!!!

I just love the swirl marble counter tops in the bathroom, though I have to do something with the mirror, needs like some trim or something???:

Master bedroom (which I love because it has a huge bathroom and walk in closet on one side, then an additional closet on the otherside!! Plus it is big enogh to fit my california king wall-unit bed!!!:

Additional bedroom, which will be my office!!!:

Living room!!! I love the firplace and the shelving to the right of it, we have alot of sports memoribilia and autographed footballs (Man I sooooo spoil Kris!!!!) that we will dispy there and the area to the left is a perfect fit for our big screen TV, which I will be able to see while cooking in the kitchen!!!!:

And I am special, becuase now going thru my pictures I didn’t get any from her of the kitchen!! One of my favorte parts!!! Oh well, once we get all our stuff in, I will be sure to include those!!!

SO I love it!! It feels so cozy and won’t be a nightmare to clean like the other massive places we looked at!!!!

    Wow. That place looks great. You know, I’m undecided as to whether I want to watch TBL this week or not. It has lost it’s plot, I think. Or “Jumped The Shark” as they say.
