a small move

Some time ago I published a post about the desire Wesla and I have for finding a new place here in Lethbridge to hang our hats. Living on campus at the U has some perks, but it has really been our desire to find something a little bit cheaper. Over the course of the past month or so we have looked at a number of different places, but the difference in expense really wasn't a big enough incentive for us to go through the painful experience of packing our stuff up into small containers.

Until recently, I thought we would be signing on for another year long lease at the student family housing (yes, they make you sign another year long lease at the U of L, even after you have been living there for a year), but fortunately another opportunity presented itself. A friend from our church who owns a house is looking to rent out some space in his house, and he offered to rent us the upper floor. The only drawback is having a shared kitchen and bathroom, but on the other side we will now have access to a dishwasher and a washer & dryer! All this for a price that is in the range of what we were looking for when we starting looking for a different place. We are going to be making the small move at the end of July.
