Okay, I haven't wrote a blog in about 4 months so I figured it's time. I guess it's time for an update.
Currently I am living with my in laws... still. I've been here since February of last year. We only intended on being here for a year.. so it's about that time isn't it? Well today I got an email from my best friends Mom who has a house she rents out. It is currently empty and has been for a couple months. We talked about it before but we couldn't afford the rent even after the discount. Since she is remodeling the house and I'm sure needs some extra income in the process so there may be a chance here. She is willing to help us out on the rent for a year. Which is wonderful! So instead of renting it out as a 3 bedroom she will be renting it as a 2 bedroom and she will be using the 3rd bedroom and the shed as storage for herself while continuing to work on the 3rd bedroom and porch remodel. Sounds perfect to me as I only need 2 bedrooms anyway.
There are a few good things that could come from this. One, we get out of this house. I love my in-laws to death but I think we have been here a little too long. Two, it will improve Shane's credit. We tried buying a house a couple months back and couldn't because he has no established credit. We have one line of credit in his name now and just need two more things. One will be the rental house, and the other will be the electricity. If we stay there for a year, we build up some credit and some savings, then I see house buying in our future! Third would be Stryker having his own room. Since day one he has slept in a room with us. First we were in a 1 bedroom apartment, and then we moved here in a closed in garage. This little guy needs to start sleeping on his own and gain some independence. Plus (number Four) I am tired of stepping on and over toys constantly in my own room!
I am going to love having a place of my own again. A place where every mess is MY mess. Every clean room is MY clean room. A place that someone walks into and see's a clean house and knows it's clean because I KEPT IT that way, no one else. I can cook what I want every night, I control the groceries that come in the house, I can go back to creative cooking again because if it comes out bad I don't have 6 hungry people that have to deal with it. Just the 3 of us. Haha.
I can make tea that lasts more than a night. I can walk around butt naked (not that I would, just FYI). I can take showers late at night and not worry about waking anyone. I can come and go as I want, again, without disturbing anyone. I don't have to yell for Shane when there isn't a towel in the bathroom, I can just make a run for it. I miss the little things.
Well as of right now my little one is currently snuggling up to the dogs butt (trying to use him for a pillow) so I think it's time for a nap. More to come soon. And keep checking back for more updates to the site!
