Trying It Again

We looked at another house this week. I actually looked at it Monday evening without Troy. I thought maybe I would save him some trouble. I wasn't expecting it to be anything much. But I was wrong! What you see on the outside is not what you would expect on the inside! It is really a rather large house!

So, Troy and TJ got back Wednesday night and Thursday bright and early we were at this house with the realtor to have a look at it with Troy. He looked it all over really well. The kitchen is outdated and needs some changes along with a little work in the finished basement area but not too much work. Little things that we can do. He really likes the property, too. After thinking about it for two days and talking things over we came to an agreement. And we made an appt. with the realtor to fill out papers. We will see how it goes.

This is the front view of the house. As I said, it looks small from the front but it has quite a lot of room inside! Good sized kitchen, diningroom, large livingroom, large family room w/fireplace, 2 baths, 5 bedrooms, florida room, and the other half of the basement is painted and neat with a laundry room/workbench/storage AND STILL room leftover for a pool table! It all still needs to be finished, though. But do-able. The neighborhood is the one we live in now...quiet suburbia. Neat yards, friendly neighbors. The house is a block from the schools so Bethany would have it easy getting back and forth to school.

Speaking of which, she is off at The Avenue tonight with her pack of friends and tomorrow has her GS outing to Jungle Jim's and Ikea. The only thing I can figure out about that is it has something to do with their 'study' of different cultures. *shrug*. And TJ is at the movies with his gf. He was nice and went with her to see a movie that SHE wanted to see. He is excited becuz he put a job application in at Wal-mart and they have been checking out his references. So, he is hoping to be gainfully employed soon.

And what did Troy and I do this evening? Oh, it was EXCITING! He took me grocery shopping. LOL We really know how to stir up trouble! The day has been cold and rainy. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and nice. I hope so. Troy is playing in a church golf tournament.

Have a nice Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
