So with all the drama we've been having, I've have been scouring the classifieds looking for a place that might work out for us. We've found 2 that actually might work out if everything plays out well.
The first one is in Eagle-Vail. The pros are:
Its closer to work for Ben
It's only a few blocks from our really good friends, the Daly's
Great location
Around the same $ we pay now
The con's are:
It's a furnished house. (Ben is worried about our kids destroying someone else's stuff) Go figure?!!
We'd have to switch wards
Landon would have to switch schools for the last 4 weeks of school, or I'd have to drive him every morning. 25 minute drive
No fenced yard for the kids and dog
Only renting from April -Dec.
The second house is in Gypsum. The pros are:
It's 2 minutes from our church
Fenced yard
Same size as we have now
storage shed out back
nice amenities in the house
2 car garage and an rv pad that we can put the trailer on
$150 less than we pay now
The cons are:
Landon will have to switch schools or I will have to drive him every morning. This drive is only 10 min.
Not as nice of location, but still quiet.
The owner is ok with dogs, trying to decide if he wants a big dog like ours.
Ok, with that said, remember, our lease is up May 9th. We'll be here until at least Dec. if not March of next year. Both of these places are on the market now, and may not be around next month. When we moved out here, the company paid for our first and last months rent, and our security deposit. We've been infomed that they will not be doing that with this move.(kinda frustrating, but whatever) They will let us use the deposit on the next place, though.
Ben's plan is that our last month(which is already paid for) will be April. If that's the case, then we can use our rent money on our new place in April, move in that first week, and use the rest of the month to clean up this place and make sure everything is better than we got it. (It's confusing, I know. I didn't understand at first.) If our landlord decides that our last month is may, then we'll have to figure something else out. For me, the ideal situation would be not to have to move, but I think that option is off the table. Any advice???? Love to hear it!
This is us!!

Packers game '08
This is Ben and I on our way to the game in Denver. Neither one of us wanted to wear our Favre jerseys. It just didn't feel right. We were sitting on the 4th row and were literally feet away from the Packer's bench. So we opted for more subtle attire!

Have you talked to your current landlord to see if staying is an option? As far as Landon switching schools--even if it is only for the last four weeks, at least he would have a chance to make some new friends in the area for the summer and would have a jump on friends for the next year. He's bright, so I don't think it would be a big deal for him to have to switch schools. Hope everything works out for you.
When Ben talked to her about staying month to month past our lease she was very wishy-washy. First a no, then a maybe. I'm not comfortable living on someone else's time table. It may work out, but if not, I will have a back up.
Oh I think the 2nd place sounds like a GREAT option! And a 10 minute drive to take Landon to school for the last 4 weeks isn't bad at all. I personally think you need to get away from the stress of the HOA and neighbors breathing down your necks about that sweet puppy of yours.
Noooo! Don't switch wards! Ok, now that I let that out.....do what you gotta do. But we'd miss you! I saw your blog through another ward member and now I know about the deal with the house. sorry you have to go through this!
