Our New House

As I Twittered about earlier today, Jason and I were approved for the rental house that I gushed about yesterday.

Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a huge living room, front porch that runs the full length of the house, upper and lower level decks overlooking the backyard, two-car garage, on a quiet cul-de-sac, and the backyard has woods right up to it. The finished basement holds one of the bedrooms and bathrooms and is set up like a mother-in-law suite with a private entrance to the backyard. The living room area down there includes a billiards table in good condition, the laundry room, and access to the...
