When our landlord mentioned that he was increasing our rent, Ricky and I took it as a sign to look at our options. We found a couple of (our minimum requirement) 4-bedrooms for even cheaper than we were paying. But the homes were older and smaller.Then we found a gem in Craigslist. Also in Antioch, about a mile away from our old home. A real beauty with FIVE bedrooms and 3 baths, a patio and the most beautiful rose garden for only $50 more than what we were paying in Amberwood.
We can't believe how lucky we got with all the upgrades. Plus, it is 2 blocks away from the community pool--another great bonus in the summer when it hits the 100's here--ang init!

Lakasan nalang ng loob--even if Ricky is still nursing his business. We realized we rented Amberwood also when Ricky didn't have a job yet.
Ang hirap palang maglipat dito! We rented a U-haul and hauled everything out ourselves. Ricky was at the helm of everything. Buti nalang kargador na yung mga binata. Maui suffered a nose bleed (ayaw magpa-picture) and Nico hammed it up, of course. And without Y. Syrel and Mama Pila--we would be so lost!
I will send more pics of the new home when we are more settled. Medyo magulo pa and Ricky's parents came to stay. We look forward to more visitors--specially Lia, Mon, and Mayoy by end of May.
We are sill rubbing our eyes, (partly because of the allergy season!) as we settle down in this newest blessing. And though we spent almost 2 yeas in the old home and have many fond memories there, and even if we had no intentions of leaving, we are excited to move up to where the Lord leads us.
Sometimes, the Lord has a definite way of moving us along.

Congrats Minotte!! I'll try and go visit you soon. I hope I can get my own place soon and live in peace, quiet and security.

The place looks great! I am so happy for you and your family. We are so looking forward to our visit. Don't worry about the moving. Mon & I moved 4.5 months ago, and I still have boxes that need to be unpacked - and they will still be there months from now.
