Our house is a very, very, very fine house


So we are now able to check at least ONE item off of our lengthy "To Do List"--hooray!

We have a house in Madison. We are excited about it because:
  • Our rent will be less than our current mortgage
  • It has 1800 square feet (at least 1000 more than our home here)
  • There is a raspberry patch in the backyard (Syd can't wait!)
  • Andrew's commute will be less than 10 minutes to all of his work locations
  • It is right across the street from a park
  • We found it on Craigslist and don't have to make a special trip to find housing (don't worry--we had friends check it out!)
Anyways, we are really looking forward to this next step.

p.s. sorry for the blurry photo--it's all we have right now

So when I first saw the picture and the "house" title, I stared for a second going, "Okay, why does their house look so far set back from the street?" I seriously thought it WAS your house because it just has that Hill look and colors and the tree out front even! So perfect for your family! And what a beautiful lawn! We grew up with raspberries too and they are my favorite berry because of that. You'll have kids with berry-stained hands all summer and just love it!

I can't wait to bring our whole family out to visit, with that type of space, we'll stay a week! I mean, sure, Seattle is nice, but finally you are moving some place I WANT to vacation at!

I thought the same thing as Cailean! The house looks great- I bet it will be really nice to rent for a while and have no desire to do projects!
