The move

Just thought I'd write a few details about the move, for all who are wondering. We are going to rent a 3 bedroom duplex in Mitchell, a bedroom community of Steinbach. The building is about 6 years old, attached garage, deck and yard. It is an open concept upstairs with the living room, dining room and kitchen, also a pantry and half bathroom. Downstairs are the bedrooms, full bathroom, laundry room and linen closet. It's beautiful!! It's almost like it was custom made just for us!! We should get the keys Thursday, we'll take a some stuff Saturday, but the big moving day will be Sunday after church. We're so excited to have more space, a yard, and our own laundry room!! We had really been thinking we needed to just buy something to get us out of the apartment, but we're just not ready to buy yet. So this is the best alternative, and the cost won't be much more than what we have now. You know....3 weeks ago, the lady who lives below us came up to complain about the noise...from Nora jumping. We've tried very hard to be considerate of our neighbors, we know kids make noise, and we make sure that all is quiet at night, and that noise is a minimum during the day. But, kids have a lot of energy, and sometimes they jump and sometimes they fall, and I know it's loud, we've lived under a suite with kids before. So, at first, we were a little peeved at this lady, but it motivated Curtis to look online that evening for a different place. We had been wanting to move for a while, but everything we found was just unaffordable. He saw the ad for this duplex, called and set up a time to view it. Since we were the first ones to look at it, we got it, even though there were other people interested. I just think...if that lady hadn't complained, we would not have been so motivated to look that evening. Well, that's my long-winded way of saying...God works in mysterious ways.
