A New Home

Wow it's funny how fast time goes by. It seems like I just blogged yesterday and it's been 3 weeks! I can't wait until Jake gets home in 1 week.

So Jake and I found a cute little place to rent in Stockton. It will be nice because, first it's super cheap and second I'm close enough to my familiy as I possibly can but still have our own space. We technically "moved" in on the 8th. However, I didn't see any reason to rush in since Jake isn't home and I don't mind squatting at my parents. It's a nice place, but could use a little touch up work so probably once a day I go do some little thing to it. Although Jason was really really nice and helped me do some mudding in the bedroom. I plan to finish sanding and painting by the time Jake gets home so that we can move our bedroom stuff in and sleep there. Then while Jake's home he'll do some more touch up to the place and we'll slowly move in.

We are thinking of buying the place. The owner mentioned maybe wanting to sell and it has some nice property on it so we'll maybe end up buying it. I even got pre-approved for the price they quoted. We just need to get some finances in order before we put in an offer. We also want to get the house appraised and stuff. It will be fun to buy a place of our, where it's ours to do what we wish.
