Well, It's (Almost) Official...

Well, it's basically official. We sent in our deposit to Eyes of Texas Properties. Adam spoke with our realtor Holly, who said that they will fax us or ship us the lease when it gets closer to August. Apparently, they aren't even going to give the current residents the opportunity to release, because they've pretty much trashed the place. The house needs a little elbow grease: the yard could use trimmed up, the porch would love a nice coat of paint, things need to be cleaned and painted inside, and maybe some other small things. Nonetheless, this house fits our needs perfectly. It has 3 bedrooms and a closed off dining room. We're going to turn the dining room into a 3rd bedroom (an office for now), and we're going to make the Master Bedroom the official music space.

This house is a real blessing to us. We wanted a space that wasn't too far north, was affordable, and that had a space for music. This was the last house we looked at before leaving Austin, and we hadn't found anything that worked. We were feeling a little dejected. It's great that this house worked so perfectly. It has a kitchen with a space for a table, a usable living room, 2 normal bedrooms, the dining room that shall become a bedroom, and of course a perfect music room. The yard is a little bigger than I would want to have to take care of, but that's not a big deal. I'm just happy to have a place in Austin that could one day feel like home. Now, all I need is a job.
