we're moving - vote 4 me!

so i mentioned in my last post that we're moving...at the end of this month, 2 b exact

well see, my parents have had their house on the market 4 a year now - & unfortunately, no luck...it also turns out that their contract with the RE agent AND the lease with our current landlord run out at the end of September

dad's been talking with us about possibly taking his house off the market & renting it out...he ultimately wanted a tenant that would rent both the house & the shop beside it, as a package deal (it was a gas station when my parents 1st bought it, then was turned in2 a small engine repair shop that my brother ran his business out of - b4 he bought his farm & moved his biz there)

but then my brother started talking about moving his small engine repair biz back in2 that shop, & renting the building off of my dad again...he's not crazy about it being in the shop on his current property, because of customers having 2 drive on2 the farm...they will even come up 2 his house & ring the doorbell at 9 or 10pm sometimes...he'd just rather have it in a totally separate location

so, it's worked out now that my brother will rent the shop & we'll rent the house!
:0)

i'm sure u remember seeing this house & yard in tons of my posts in the past...it's where my parents lived 4 many years...where we had Christmas dinner, birthday parties, cook-outs & rode 4-wheelers...our kiddos know (& love) it well!

we'll still have 3 bedrooms (the girls will still share) - but we'll have much, much more space!

there's also the unfinished basement where the washer/dryer, our freezer chest, etc. will go...the attic 4 storage...& 3 out-buildings (the middle 1 is set up as a work shop)

the playhouse is gone, but the swings & shelter area r still there...we just need 2 add our picnic table & fire pit ;0)

& look at that yard...all the way 2 the fence dude!
needless 2 say, the kiddos r THRILLED!!!

i'll share more details of the house & our move as the month progresses...even tho i HATE moving, i think this 1 will be really good 4 us!
let's just hope it's a smoother move than the last 1 was! ;0)
