Today, we celebrate. As if all the excitement surrounding little miss Claire Madison isn't enough, we also found our new nest! After touring countless homes and townhomes, I'm happy to share that we are the proud new residents of a 3 bed/2.5 bath/1400 sq. ft. townhouse in Canby, Oregon. A small, borderline-rural community with a great school district and fabulous small town feel. Very similar to Corvallis. It's a slow-down-and-enjoy-your-life kind of place which we love. Yes, Canby is a little out on the edge of town, but definitely worth it. The pro's definitely outweigh the con's in this scenario. It seems too good to be true...the rent is actually below what we planned to spend, it has a very functional layout, a lot of windows/natural light and is 600 sq. ft. larger than our duplex was. It has a single car garage, a laundry room, a lot of storage, a gas fireplace, a fenced backyard and all the yardwork is taken care of by the HOA maintenance (even the back yard!). Oh, and did I mention that is just simply adorable? The townhouse community and all the amenities (like the party gazebo, the sidewalks and the playground) really make you feel at home. And that's just what we plan to do - turn this new nest into our home.
Kevin said it would all work out. That if I just had patience, everything would fall into place. Why, oh why, do I ever doubt him? We sign all the papers Monday night and take possession sometime the week after. Looks like we need to start researching moving companies!!
