I think I mentioned the possibility of my renting the townhome of a friend who will be movign overseas in the spring, right? I’m too lazy to search for a link to that post. The last time I talked to her, she was still hopeful of getting the posting she requested, but she hadn’t heard officially yet and was getting rumbles that it might not happen.

This morning she was excited to tell me that she got it. I won’t name the place she’ll be going, but it has significant meaning for her and it’s a hot spot. She was saying her mother is trying to be excited for her but she can tell that it’s hard. I said, “She is excited that you got what you wanted, but she’s worried for your safety.”

Anyway, my friend said that we could starting talking about her house when I was ready. I’m ready! So after church, I grabbed her and asked what kind of rent she would be looking for. She quoted a number that is less than my current rent and her utilities are about what I pay now in this apartment. What an answer to prayer! I’m starting to get excited about the possibility of this move...especially since it’ll reduce my commute time and won’t be too much of an increase in my housing expenses, and I’ll have a basement for an office and a fenced in yard for Annie.
