Old house, new house, rental house oh my

In the past few weeks we put in some really long and exhausting days. First we had to move out of our Kaysville home. It was a lot of space to clear and clean. Frankly, we purged a lot of stuff, but I was a little embarrassed when we filled a semi full of storage crates. Although, when they unload the storage crates in June and pack the truck back to front for the cross-country trip, it is supposed to condense down enough so they can come and get what we have at the rental house- we hope!






After sending most of what we own to storage, we moved to a little rental house, emphasis on little. We gave up 3,000 square feet, but it kept us in the neighborhood. We literally took our beds, one dresser each, one couch, a tv, the piano and some kitchen stuff. The house has new carpets, tile floors and paint, but I feel like I am playing house by living here. But in the end, we are grateful that we found this place and that we can stay in Kaysville until June.




After settling in for 48 hours or so, Michael and I flew to Buffalo, NY for some house hunting. We spent the weekend walking through about 20 homes, but now I have to laugh because the house that I have watched since the first week in October, the one that I said I would buy from the very beginning, is most likely the one that we will make an offer on. It is about 10 minutes to Moog and 5 minutes to church. It is a two story brick front home with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a formal living and dining room, an office with french doors off of the foyer, and a large kitchen, eating area and family room in the back. It is on a half acre lot with mature trees and a deck. The only downer is the $9,000 property taxes!
