So, Nikki and I were able to find a place after hours of searching for a place. Actually, I am being a brat. We were blessed to only have to look at 4 places before we found that one we wanted. We looked at three more after our dream place but that was more out of curiousity than necessity.
This place is fantastic! My secret desire was that we would be able to find a place that we both liked, that had a gas stove. My dreams have been fulfilled. I saw this place on Craig's list, it was for a good price, the place was described as being on a ground level, and there were two pictures, one of the living room and one of the kitchen. The kitchen showed that it was spacey, which is a definite plus for me yet, I could not see what the stove looked like but I decided to email the person so that we could see the place. The location is in New West and that was one strike against it but it was close to the bowling alley we like...no pun intended;) The home is a duplex, really nice, pink stucco, new look type of house and when we walked inside our place, everything was in good condition and up to date. There is a lot of natural light, which is also one of my favorites when looking for a place, and space. The kitchen has a gas stove, right when I saw it, I said, "well, I'm sold", the lady kind of laughed but I was serious, I didn't need to look further I liked the kitchen and knew this was the place for me! Nikki felt the same way about the rest of the rest of the place. The bathroom is great, the livingroom is nice and there are patio doors to the backyard (nice backyard too) and the rooms are a good size. Nikki's thing is to check the closets. She likes to have good closet space and rightly so!
The walls are all painted with warm colors, the kitchen is a butter yellow, the bathroom is a sage green and the living room is....some color but it's nice.
The owner's liked us right away but she had to show it to others that had made appointments and was going to call us after church on Sunday, we saw it Saturday, to let us know if we had for sure gotten it. Well, she ended up calling me before church and said that it's ours if we want it, and of course I said, I sho do little lady! - no I didn't but it would have been great if I had.
So, we are officially on our way to a new life, of sorts. Nikki, Amy & I will be embarking on a new adventure in New West! I hear the air is better there anyway, right? Fraser river...Good Times! The Riverboat Casino, good FHE activity. Ahh, this is the life!
I can now walk to work and get a little more exercise. Fun Fun Fun!!
Okay, I'm going to stop bragging now, so you won't hate me out of jealousy:)
