Today I'm grateful for where we live. I know I should be grateful for Veterans. I am grateful for them too.
But today I woke up and there was this beautiful low hanging mist outside and it has stuck around all day. It's the perfect background for all the trees and their changing leaves. I love thinking that snow might be on it's way (I've actually already busted out the Christmas music).
I love that we live in a small town and it is quiet most of the time. I'm grateful that the elementary school that we are in the boundaries for, is a very good school and that Jared's teacher is super understanding and is perfect for helping Jared feel motivated and enthusiastic about school!
In regards to the house we live in, this is the nicest place we've ever rented. Yes, sometimes we get all high and mighty and complain that we don't have a garage or a yard large enough to put a trampoline in (I measured, it would be about a foot away from our house and a foot away from the opposite fence) and sometimes we declare that we are moving to the woods so that we don't have to hear any neighbors or the cars pass by but really we have it good.
This is the first time that we have paid rent for something other than an apartment (it's a duplex). It has rounded bullnose corners on the walls which I love and the heaters are actually placed in decent spots (like not under the window), the floor plan is pretty great, it has decent storage, best of all, the place has been pet free and is pet free! I love that, it's nice to lay on the carpet and not have fleas from the previous renters pet jump on you (totally has happened to us) or have the toilet over flow and have kitty litter come out from under the baseboard heater (this has happened to us too).
Wesley and I always talk about how it will be so nice when we can landscape our own yard, paint the walls any crazy color we want or even just see the kids damage things on accident without internally freaking out and thinking about deposits.
But really for now this is not a bad place to live, in fact it might be great!
