A Place to call our own

Everytime we move, we wonder where we are going to live. Our original thought was that we wanted to live off base for a couple of reasons. We could have a fireplace and get more rooms for our money. But then we found out that they were building brand new Navy housing. So we called the housing office and got on the list. We were told we would be getting a new 4 bedroom. But while we were driving to Canada for Sam's wedding, housing called us and said that our house was still being built and it would not be ready until October 30.

So we thought we would search a special military site that has houses to rent. We found a house we loved and called to see if it was available. And it was! So we filled out the application and found out today that we got the house! Here is a picture of it:

It is really more then we could even ask for. It is a 2 story with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. Our landlords are a retired Navy couple and said we could paint the inside which we will definitly want to do. The previous renters ran an in home daycare so there are some very bright colors. They also left a lot of the daycare toys and furniture behind. The landlords said we can keep in the house whatever we like and they will remove what we don't. Since we are going to be homeschooling it is such a blessing! We will be leaving for Washington on September 9 and hope to be there on the 12th. Here are some more pictures!
