Visiting Family

It is so great to be able to see my family again before we move. My dad and I went to visit my grandma and some other relatives today. It was so great to catch up. Cliff is traveling to Portland today with the kids (and 8 hour trip). He was happy that they got a bus so that he didn't have to drive. He looked at two homes for us yesturday. The first one was being rented out by a member of our soon to be congregation. Cliff said that it was very nice and very well updated but unfortunately way too small for our growing family. Later in the afternoon he visited a house I found online through our realitor's company. There were not many pictures online but the exterior and the landscaping of the home was very nice and most importantly it had three bedrooms and was in our price range. Cliff called and said that he thought it would work for us for our first year. However, we were the second people to put in our application for it and the owners look at the applications as they came in. We will find our on Monday if the owners excepted the application or not so we are keeping our fingers crossed. It would really be perfect for us. Along witht the three bedrooms it has a full basement with two more bedrooms (but not technically because it doesn't have windows). Most importantly they will take Gazey which has been our major problem through this whole process. It is about 3 miles away so Cliff could still ride to work on his new toy. So if you read this before Monday say a prayer for us. If this does not work out we will most likely be moving into a home to do some house sitting and looking at rentals once we get there. It would just be nice, however, to not have to move twice.
