And the verdict is....

Colin and I have FINALLY figured out our housing situation after a couple months of going back and forth. Thanks to the generosity of Colin's Granny and Gramps, we will be renting their rental house for a couple months until we can get financing to to buy it from them. They are giving us an amazing deal which will really help us start out. We are so super thankful for them! So where will we be living until early December when we are able to move in? Colin's parents house. They were gracious enough to let us temporarily stay there while we are in transition. Not only will we save money but we are hoping for some really great home cooking and a playmate for Duke.


Speaking of Duke, he decided he wanted to be a bumble bee for Halloween. Ok, well maybe I decided. (Pardon the mess...Colin and I were in the middle of packing when Duke tried on his outfit.) I found this on clearance at target and HAD to get it. Colin wasn't so amused. :)


This Thursday is our moving day! I'm a little sad to be moving further from my family but happy for the opportunity Colin gets to have with his dad and the chiro center. He's really lucky to be in the position he is. Also, we would never have been able to afford a house around Seattle or Portland right now. So overall it's a good decision for the both of us. Now comes the hard work of finishing packing, loading, moving and unloading. Blah.
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween and I'll be posting pictures later next week. We'll be at Bailey's for a costume party!
