First I did not realize how long it has been since I have posted. Things have been crazy here. We are moving next Saturday and Sunday. Yes that is right we have one week to move. Here is how it came about.
Saturday morning Hubby called on a couple of places and we made a few appointments to look at some houses. We go to our first appointment and it is a house near the train station but behind this small business. The guy owns the business who is renting the house. It is two story with 3 bedrooms, a basement with washer/dryer hookup, fireplace, extra room for play area or office. It is right near downtown and a park is two blocks away. There is not a yard but there are a few parks to go to. It is a really good price in rent and we only plan to stay a year. The school is in walking distance.
We went to our second appointment, when we did finally find it, we were early so we drove up the house a couple of times. It was really small and the rent they wanted for it was ridiculous. We decided to go to lunch and we called the person to cancel. We kept talking about the first place we saw and even though it is kind of laid out weird it had a lot of perks. We called the guy back and asked to see it again because the first time we rushed through it because we were early. He said sure but someone had all ready put paperwork in for a credit check. He said we could fill out one also and just see. Hubby was talking to him and mentioned where he worked and the guy was impressed. He then said he had a good feeling about us and he wanted a family to rent and he gave us the house no credit check. We paid him first months rent and security even though he just wanted the security.
We are now in the process of packing and it is crazy. I have ten million things running through my head and some many things to do. We have a really good feeling about this place. The boys can know be boys. I like the fact I am within walking distance to shops and the library. It is a nice suburb in DuPage County for those who are in the area. I am withholding the name of the burb right now.
Manic Mom I might be moving in your area. I could let you know through email.
Anyway it is going to be a crazy week. I will try to keep you updated on what is going on. Not sure when we are disconnecting the DSL and when we are going to be up and running.
This is how we always do things always spontaneous.
