We decided to lower the price on our house some. There are some other comparable
houses to ours in our neighborhood that are priced at about $5000 less than
ours, so we are going to drop our price to be just under theirs. The realtor
suggested it, and we thought it was a good suggestion.
We also have
decided to move to the house next to my parents' house. We have agreed to put
$300 worth of work into it a month (that can be labor and/or materials) in
exchange for rent. We're not technically going to be renters, just guests in
their home. My dad said they weren't even worried about the money, they just
were eager to have us come live in their house. You see, when they had the deal
with the insurance, my family helped them through the process and drove them to
the city to get their check. They don't speak much English, and so they needed a
lot of help. They consider my parents part of their family, and since they are
my parents, they consider Erick and I family as well even though they've never
met us. I think that is so sweet. It's going to be such a blessing to us, and we
plan on being a blessing back to them by helping fix their house up for them.
We're going to be getting a puppy, too. Erick's family has a dog who had
puppies, and they asked us back when we visited them in March if we wanted one.
We'll be able to have pets in this house, and so we told them to go ahead and
save one for us. Jay is so excited. He fell in love with one of those puppies
when we visited. They were only a week old then. These are not going to be small
dogs, though--I know they are part Husky, and whatever else they are isn't small
either.
