Falling into Place

As I mentioned in my previous blog my friends and I found a house and signed a lease for May 2013 to April 2014. It felt good to finally get a start on the new chapter in our lives! We have been searching for a place for about a couple weeks and since we got a late start on looking for places we weren’t sure what we were going to be able to find. However, we finally found a place that we all loved! It’s a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, and my favorite part is the back yard! It has a quaint back yard that is fenced in and it comes with a fire pit! It’s a gorgeous house and all the bedrooms have a walk-in closet! It was exactly what we had been looking for! We randomly found it posted on the Marshall trader and that day we called the landlord and toured it. We looked at another house right after looking at the one we chose but we knew it was the one. About an hour later the relater called us and informed us that he had three calls since we left from people interested in looking at the place. He asked if we wanted it for sure and about a half hour later, after talking it over with our families, we made the decision to take it!  

Aside from being a place that we all loved, it was an even greater choice because we have one of the most amazing landlords! He treats others like family and he definitely feels like a grandpa to us already! We went to sign the lease at his place and he and his wife had made supper for us! We were so surprised and grateful that we were able to get a landlord like him! It really hit home when he told us that this Friday is his birthday and he asked God for one thing and that was for someone to rent his place that he could actually trust and feel good about the tenants renting the place. After hearing him say we were his birthday gift we knew this was the right decision. We know this is going to be a great year and look forward to our living arrangements! Especially being able to decorate our house! 🙂
