We've been looking for a bigger place for almost 6 months. We've been living in our townhouse for almost 2 years. It's not that I mind the size of our place, that I can manage. It's the sharing of walls, having no yard, and no storage. Plus, most of the families have younger kids and Rachel has no friends in the neighborhood. Ellie's best friend just moved and misses her like crazy. My visiting teacher has been keeping her ears & eyes open for us. Yesterday, she called and said a rental had opened over by her. Long story short...in less than 24 hours we had the house. Crazy! I didn't think it would ever happen. It's a 5 bedroom house with a finished basement. We are going to live in the top and my brother and his wife are going to live in the bottom. By splitting the rent we are going to save ourselves lots of $$$ which is wonderful because trying to go to school with a family is VERY stressful financially. Plus, we get a yard, a garage, lots of storage! It will be especially nice when Bill goes out on his internship for almost 3 months in August. I will have help with the kids as I try to finish up my last (hopefully) semester of school in Fall. It's happening SO fast, I guess I better start packing as I start back to school on the 19th with 15 credits. Yikes! I need to take a deep breath...breath in...breath out...I wanted this, right?

Are you still going to be able to even hang out with me?: )
This is so awesome!!! I'm so excited for you and so happy that you have people that you want to live with. :)
Yay- how exciting!!! Those townhouses are so tiny anyway. My townhouse is smaller, but actually feels like it is much bigger.
How nice it will be for your family- and to be so close to your sister too!
