Our townhouse is a three-story, 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom unit with a 2 car garage. It also has a finished partial basement - the front half of the basement is a finished "family" room, the back half is the garage. There is a laundry room and a small balcony. The kitchen has lots of cabinet space and closet space seems to be aplenty.We are encouraged by the space and layout of the home - and are anxious to make it our own. We had such a difficult time selecting a home- balancing and choosing between location and physical space. We eventually chose physical space over the ideal location because of the time I would be spending there with our son. Now- when I say we chose space over location, our neighborhood and our immediate area is still ideal, and wonderful, (according to our Realtor) in a great school district. It just puts us on the outskirts of where we were concentrating our search. We are just outside of Naperville, in Aurora- but we are closer to the community life of Naperville, allowing us to establish ourselves within Naperville, find a church, and get to know the area. And, we were able to do this for just under our originally desired maximum monthly rent! God is good!
Now -with that decision done, we are moving onto continued packing, and financial planning. Knowing what space we have to live in will help me in the packing, sorting, and preparing. We know the number of kitchen cabinets, the size of the linen closet, and potential places for a three year old's many toys! We can determine what absolutely needs to be sold, and what we might be able to store...
Our rent begins November 1st... giving us the month to get out there. Giving us one month to get out of here - to rent our home, and to figure out the rest of what it will take to move forward in faith!
God is faithful! God proves Himself over and over! We are learning to trust and to rely on Him with this move!
Very exciting. So happy for an answer to prayer.
