Found a Home at Last!

Well, ok, not a HOME, but a home for now. Finally, after much searching, anguish, and occasional confusion, we found a place to live here in Newburgh.

We thought we had found a place two weeks ago, but found out Monday that it had fallen through. Bummer. That's ok, though, because our new place is BETTER! We found a little townhouse with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in a lovely, quiet area that is surrounded by fields. It's only $500/mo and all we pay is electricity! It's about 20-25 minutes from Michael's work, so a little farther than we anticipated, but the location is so nice we can't turn it down! Here is a map of where it is. Green is Michael's parents (where we are staying now.) Yellow is our new little townhouse. Red is Michael's work.

One of my favorite things about it is that even though we are in the Newburgh zipcode, the name of our little town is "Paradise." :c) And here I always thought that was in Montana.

I took a few videos to send to Michael this morning. They aren't all that great and if you would mute my awful narration I would appreciate it. But here's the general idea. The house is in a shambles because they recently gutted the whole thing and completely rebuilt it. Everything is new except a few kitchen cupboards and the sinks. It will be all ready for us (fingers crossed) a week from this coming Monday.

Congratulations on the new place! A 20 - 25 minute commute sounds like a dream ... It takes me 2 trains, 2 miles of walking and 1-1.25 hours to get to work.
