House Hunting - OVER

We found a place on our first trip down there. It's on Hunting Green Drive in the Deerfield subdivision so we will actually be in a neighborhood. It has about half an acre fenced in for a backyard so that Kisa will have lots of room to run around. We are only allowed one dog (and have to figure out something to do with the cat), but still excited about finding somewhere. Super happy that it's a house instead of an apartment or even a townhouse. We move in March 12 so as soon as we move up there, I will be taking and posting lots of pictures. I'm really looking forward to starting over kind of. I've applied for new jobs and will be trying out new - healthy - recipes, keeping everything in order and clean, making new friends in the same town as myself, starting hobbies and working on continuing training with my wonderful little girl. I can't wait to see what life holds in store for me since right now I feel stuck in a rut and don't have much to occupy my time save reading. If anyone ever reads this, feel free to give book suggestions! Have a super fantastic great day!

House Hunting in J-Ville Day 1


Well in about 2 more hours, the wonderful hubby and I will be heading on our 4 hour journey for our first day of looking around Jacksonville, NC to find somewhere to live. I'm so anxious that I haven't slept much at all, hence the creation of a blog. I spent most of yesterday calling around looking for anything that will take our dog. You would think that it would be fairly easy to find somewhere for a 35 lb dog, but not so in this lovely town. After calling 34 apartment complexes and 13 other properties, we finally found 2 houses that can take her. Hopefully one of them will also let us get a second dog in case we decide to get Nanook/Nanna in the near future. We will also be driving through neighborhoods looking for random places that may let us rent and keep our baby girl. I mean, what's not to love about this gorgeous canine? Cross your fingers please that we only have to go hunting once. This is much too stressful to do over and over, especially when it seems that nothing new is opening up in our timeframe anymore. Geez I have so much nervous energy!! I'm entirely too excited about this but I'm sure I won't be as soon as we get in the car and start in on this awful drive. Ok, I think this rambling is plenty for a first blog entry. I feel a little better now! Have a super fantastic great day!
