Moving......

We found a place to live and just in the nick of time it sounds like. I guess my brother-in-law's brother (who is buying this house) was planning on moving here a couple of weeks earlier than we thought. So I'm glad that we found a spot to put out junk so they don't have to worry about staying with someone else.

I will post pictures when I actually take some. The nickname that my boys made up for the new house is 'the box house'. When you see pictures you will know why. Til then......

House Hunting

So this house hunting has become rather depressing. Joey hasn't worked at his job long enough for us to think about buying a house and anything for rent around here is either expensive or disgusting. We looked at a house yesterday that was in our ward and only $450 a month. It sounded too good to be true! Well, it was.

It was 3 bedroom, 1 bath and DISGUSTING.

My visiting teacher is the one that is managing it for someone and she told me that it was disgusting, but I figured that I might be able to clean it up a bit for $450 a month. Nope, I felt gross just looking at it! I don't think that any amount of TLC that I could give it would make it feel comfortable. Let's just say that it put a damper on my house hunting spirits.

One thing that doesn't help is that most people around here don't advertise their rentals. It's mostly word of mouth and if no one knows that you are looking.......it's frustrating. There have been a few people that have given us some ideas, but they haven't led to anything promising. The hardest thing for me is that it's planting season and I really want a garden. I know that I've only had one garden of my own, but it was so much fun to see 'the fruits of my labors'. If we don't find a house soon there will be no garden.

Sad. :o(

So a little more trust in the Lord and a little more work on our part and it will happen. All prayers in our behalf are greatly appreciated!!
