Cul De Sac

So, in case you missed our previous posting - WE NOW HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE IN NEBRASKA!

Phew, so many fears lifted! When we arrive into town on July 12th, we will have a place to call "home".

The story:

We have been looking in North Platte for a place to live since the day we found out that we were moving to Nebraska.... and the task has been hard because the town has only 25,000 people and the apartments available are scarce - which is something we are not used to in the San Fernando Valley of California.

We had found a few places to look, but a lot were income based and we actually made too much to live in them, so the search continued - until we found our agent Sam! We found Sam on the 8th of June, and she has been so extremely helpful ever since! We told her what we were looking for, and she sent us pictures of what she had available, and we finally found the place that will be our home! We sent her our application and our deposit for the place, and she received it on Monday, the 13th of June, in Nebraska. She called us the same day and said that she ran our credit, called our apartment manager (who said nothing but nice things, thanks, Melissa!), and we were APPROVED! So today we asked our new friend in North Platte (her name also happens to be Sam - she is apart of the Church of Christ out in North Platte and has been nothing but helpful also, we've already promised them a Starbucks get together when we arrive!) if she could tour the place and take some pictures for us - and she agreed! She also said that "it is very quiet" over there and that she "loves the place"! We are so excited! So, we do have pictures of our new place (thanks to both Sams) and would love to share them with you! :]

This is the front of our place. It's a six-plex in all, but our apartment window is the one on the far right!

Also, one of the those garages you see in the picture is now ours! :]

This is our new living room (look at the cute window). This was taken from the front door.

This was taken from the living room/front door area looking into the hallway of the apartment.

This is one of the bedrooms from its doorway!

This is the other bedroom from its entry.

Both bedrooms have a closet like this! Nice size! (and that is one cute window!)

Bathroom from entry.

This is our kitchen! It is an EAT IN kitchen - so there is PLENTY of room in it to put a dining table & chairs!

Another view of the kitchen (notice the dishwasher). That closet is where our washer & dryer goes!

This is our private deck!!!! This is off of the kitchen! It's a sliding glass door that leads to our private deck! Beautiful!

These are our steps leading up to our private deck and a view of the backyard area of the property!

We are very thankful to have these pictures!
