A place to hang our hat?

As you know, when one moves, one needs a place to move into.
Although my parents have been more than generous in offering their house to us and telling us that we are welcome to stay here as long as we want, we really need our own space.
The two of us really are nesters. We like to make a place our home and frankly, have a lot of stuff. Yes, we could pay to store it some where. But the idea of not having access to our stuff is a bit unnerving. And, the idea of 5 adults (YAY!! Sarah comes home September 15! No really! And she is staying. What do you mean believe it when you see...Hey, she cancelled her return ticket!) As I was saying, one house with 5 adults, 3 businesses and 1 cat is too much.

I have spent quiet some time looking at options for us. Tim has had a chance to see some with me over the weekends. I was a little shocked at the lack of selection out there. Maybe we are too picky, but I think it is more that apartments in Saratoga are currently expensive for what they are. I actually had a real estate agent tell me that okay, so the bedrooms are a little small (full bed was too much and there were 3 of them) but you could put your bedroom in the dining room. Right...in the dining room that is on the street side, basically at the street with great big arched windows and would need to be walked through anytime someone came to the house...um, YOU put your bedroom in a dining room. NEXT!

Thank goodness for a reconnection that I made with a woman who had shown us a possible investment property. I told her that we were on our way back and were looking. A friend of hers is in the midst of closing on a cute house HOUSE!!!! that she wants to rent. Tim and I have seen it from the outside only so far. But, that part looks great. We know that the kitchen and bathroomS have been remodled. It has 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors, IT IS A HOUSE!! Probably completely jinxing ourselves by putting this here...she closes on Friday and we can look at it on Saturday. We have the first pick of renting it. So, if all goes well when we see the inside...things like, if we put a bed in this room, would we have to get to it from the doorway and never make it because it is the only thing in the room?
Anyway, here it is...Will let you know what the inside is like....
