We've Moved

Just around the corner!  We have been casually looking for a place to move for a while now, the old house was getting a little small with a new little one.  Our firends who lived behind us and one to the north were moving in August and we looked at their house and decided it would be a great move.  But then they got kicked out because their landlady needed the house for her mother, who had cancer, to live in.  So we were out of a place to move, so we continued to look around.  We looked at a place out in Spingville, but it just didn't feel right, it was a very nice house, and really nice people who would be renting it.  They even called us after we looked at it and asked if we were still interested because they had really liked us.  But, like I said, it just didn't feel right.  I kept looking online, whistfully wishing a miracle would happen and the backdoor house would open back up.  And I will tell you, miracles do happen.  I was looking on the rental agency's site, and one day, it was on there.  I filled out an application and took it in, and seeing as how it had only been up for an hour or so, we were the only applicants and we got the house.  We've been here about a month, and we love it.  We got to stay in the same neighborhood, and ward which we are really glad about, but we get about twice the amount of space.  Here are some pictures from when we moved in to demonstrate!
This is the front room, from the doorway.  The bedrooms and bathroom are just off this room on the left.  It only has two bedrooms still, and they are about the same size as the old house, but it works just fine, as you will see in the next few pictures...
The little laundry area in the hallway.  (Yes, it actually had a designated spot for laundry and hookups!)
The ginormous kitchen!
And this is our favorite part (though the kitchen is a close second).  This is the added room, and it is huge.  You can see how tiny Isaac looks in the picture.  It really is that big.  Isaac has been in heaven with all the space.  He loves to be able to run around and not have to worry about smacking into something. 
Things really worked out for the best for us.  I do feel bad for our friends who had to move out, and then move again in August to NY.  But they did find a really nice place and they really like their ward, so it worked out for them as well.  The Lord really has our best intrests in store for us, if we just put our faith in Him.
