We're Moving (still renting and still kelowna)

We're moving!! To a teeny tiny itty bitty house just down the road. It's about 150 meters away from where we live now and it's a bit more expensive than what we are currently paying, but it's above ground! And it is self-contained! And it is above ground!

I'm a little bit nervous about the increase in rent, but it's the perfect location for us (we can both walk to work) and Erik really hates living in dingy basements. The house is about the size of our current basement suite, but the lay-out is much more conducive to having friends over. It has a little basement with tons of storage and a room that I can use for all my crafting and as a "guestroom" when family comes over. The upstairs is a kitchen and a living room that are the size of our current living room, but they are open to each other and the kitchen has windows!!!! It's going to be wonderful! It also has two tiny bedrooms and a mini yard, and we are so excited!!

Moving right after exams and during my practicum is probably not the best idea, but we had to take it. We hadn't even thought about moving until Sunday when friends of ours told us about the place. We checked the place out on Monday and then on Tuesday we called our landlords to make sure they were fine with it and they were. So we gave our notice and started the paperwork for our new lease and we are moving May 1.

  1. Love it... it looks about the same size as our house here. Even though we don't have heaps of space, its still great to be in a house instead of an appartment or basement suite. I'm happy for the two of you that you found a new place to call home :) Miss you heaps xoxoxo

  3. It's so cute -- I love the general look of the place and those big windows. Wow! So cute.

    You are going to feel like an uncaged bird in that place, I know it. It will feel so good. :)
