HOPE

I am crossing my fingers....
We looked into a Mother in Law suite near Columbia City yesterday, and we BOTH fall in love with the place. We have agreed on his terms which will have us to move next week, and have the house empty for at least a month when we are back in Indonesia (means 1 month of rent is wasted), and we gave the owner some cash so he could run a credit check on us.
So it's really depends on him. Whether he will choose us or not.

It was a really small place, being only 650sq foot (60 meter square), but oh its so cozy!
The grassed yard are fully fenced, so it is really dog friendly, and I can't wait to see Muffin laying around in the sun while we do our homework.
It has two beds to plant vegetables so we can try to grow our own veggies.
I imagine us having a bbq party in this yard.

The wall was yellow, with a green window trim, and a red entrance door (I always wanted a red door!!)
Once inside, it is the living room, pretty small, probably the size of my bedroom in Indonesia, with washer and dryer stacked in a little closet behind the opened door. The living room was really bright in the sunny day, having windows on both sides of the wall.

From the living room you could walk to the kitchen, really small, which will make the place really crowded if there were more than two people at the same time.But it was really bright as there is a window to let the sunshine came in. Kitchen appliances are all white, which is a smart choice for a little space, to make the room looks bigger. Refrigerator, dishwasher, and 4 burner electric stove and oven, and a microwave as well. The kitchen cabinets are pretty and the cabinet door was made by a see-through glass.

Bathroom door and bedroom door are all connected to the kitchen.

It was a cute little bathroom, but bigger than anything we ever had in China, with white sink, toilet and bathtub.

Bedroom was decent size, it will fit a queen size bed, and hopefully a little night stand. It has a build in closet on the wall and big window as well.

Yesterday I started browsing into IKEA (cheap furniture for students like us), and looking for little dining table, rugs, kitchen utensils. Looked into Costco for pots and pans ($150 for a decent set of pots and pans...not too bad at all).

Right now I have my hope flying up really high (which I really shouldn't, what if the owner decided not to rent it to us??) for the possibility of having our own nest next weekend.

Keep your finger crossed for us !!!
