On to the next

Well, we turned down house number one. I just couldn't get comfortable with it. But, I found a house in Milwaukie, really close to the river and Elk Rock Island. It's on a bit of a busy street, but I'm willing to compromise for a location so close to the river. It is a split level house but the living room, kitchen (which is gigantic compared to my current one) and garage are on the main level. Downstairs is a family room, bathroom and utility room and upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. So, we could take the upstairs and my mom could have the downstairs. The house is also not as private as we were hoping for (particularly compared to house number one), but it does have a nice large yard in the back and on the side for the baby to frolic.

I've already turned in the application, but I haven't heard from the landlord yet, and I emailed it to him two nights ago. I don't expect an answer on whether we've been accepted or not yet as he was showing the house to other people this weekend, but an acknowledgment that he's received it would be nice. He just had a baby two weeks ago, though, so I imagine he's more focused on that right now and probably not in a huge hurry to check email over the weekend.

Neil has the day off tomorrow and he's going to gymnastics with Riley and I. I can't wait for him to see how adorable it is.

Love,
