And then....

So ever since the roomate discussion, I have been actively looking for a house to rent. One that would suit the four of us. There would have to be a certain amount of privacy for me in order to survive with three guys. One that would fit our budget and one that would let me keep my sweet puppy Daisy.

*NOTE TO SELF: MUST QUIT REFERRING TO DAISY AS A PUPPY. SHE IS TWO AND A HALF. NO LONGER A PUPPY.

Ivan and I have driven around looking at potential homes and dismissed each and every one of them. Until yesterday...

Yesterday I was armed with a list of 9 potential houses. Complete with a description, the address and even a map to each house. The four of us drove around for six hours. Making a decision at the end of the day on the house that was best for us. Monday I'm going to call up the Rental Management Company and talk to the agent about when and how we can get into the house.

This house sits on a 1/2 acre lot. Not too small and not too big for us. Has plenty of room to park and even a spot for my quad and Ivan's motorcycle. If I remember right, the ad said there was a walk in pantry *YAY and an extra freezer. We'll have two big freezers! I peeked in the window and the kitchen has a "country" feel to it. The yard was big. Perfect for me. Lots of room for a garden for next summer. I can't wait to get to walk through the house to get a better idea on the layout of the place.

Oh yeah also. Did I forget to mention.....

Ivan gave me a promise ring. On the way to the Ellensburg rodeo. That way I would be able to wear it through out the weekend. Can't even describe how happy I am. I've been walking in clouds for days. I love that guy so much. I can't wait to live with him. Can't wait to start creating a home with him. Even with the two roomates. Creating a home like atmosphere for those two is only going to benefit them.

So needless to say: "Happy, happy, joy, joy"
