WE MOVED!!

Mark and I have moved to Burley! We put our house up for sale in March and by the end of April we sold it! I really didn't think it would sell that fast, but we recieved an offer just $400 less than our asking price, so we weren't going to turn that down!
We had been looking for a rental in the Burley area pretty much as soon as we put the house up for sale. We found a duplex that was o.k., but it was better than anything else we had looked at, and rentals are going like hotcakes in Burley, so we decided to jump on it and gave a depost for the rental, which we were told we could begin moving into on May 1st. Well, with the sale of the house and having to be out by the 14th, it would have worked out really well, except the owners of the duplex we were going to rent from still were not out of the side we were supposed to move into. Finally by the 9th of May, I was beginning to panic a bit because we had to be out and had no place to put our stuff! So I started looking again for a place. I happened to come across this house about 2 blocks away from the Music store. It is bigger and nicer that the duplex and the rent was less, and best of all it was EMPTY and ready to move into. So we called the landlady and we paid a deposit and started moving in the next day. We are lucky to have found this and we are very happy here.
The unfortuate thing, is that the duplex monger wouldn't give us our deposit back. She had some lame excuse, saying that she had to drop her advertising because we put a deposit on the duplex so now that deposit money is supposed to pay for her to advertise again? Ya, doesn't make sense to me either. After debating with her, she finally said that she would have to talk to her attorney, so we did also and were told that we have a legitimate case, so we filed papers against her. I think I have lived in a bubble the majority of my life, as it baffles me that she just won't do the right thing! We'll see how this goes.
Anyway, so we moved into this great house. Mark can walk to work and come home for lunch. It's an old home, but it gives it a lot of character. We have wood floors in the main area and we have an enclosed front porch. Once we get unpacked, and I find my camera, we'll take some pictures so you can see it! I'm excited to start our life here in Burley.
