The One With the Red Door...

Well, as most of you know Jay received orders to MCB Quantico in Virginia. We will be leaving 29 Palms on April 1st. Coming here to 29 Palms we had no idea what to expect. Our names were not on the list for a house and we had to stay in a hotel for 10 whole days (not the best hotel either). It was dreadful but we did make the best of it. Well, hearing that Quantico's wait time for a house on base is "currently indefinite" made us think a lot about where we were going to be living. So we made the decision to find a place out in town. We searched and searched over the past month. Found a few places and picked one out! I have been in contact with the realtor about this place for about two weeks now. I was worried because how could we pick a house without knowing the neighborhood or what the inside really looked like. So I asked Jenny if she thought her mom would mind meeting with the realtor to view the area and the inside of the house. She did!! She had some really good things to say about this place and as an added bonus...it's 5 minutes from Jenny's moms house!!! Can't wait to meet them!!

To give you a little info on the house....it is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse. It's located in Stafford, about 20 minutes from base. It is 3 levels (lots of stairclimbing for me!). There are photos below and I will try to explain each...

This is our deck and backyard.

We are hoping the guy who owns this place

will let us have a fence installed.

These are the french doors that

lead into our "bonus room" This house

does not have a garage but instead

has this bonus room (better!!)

This is one side of the

bonus room, with shelves.

This is the "rec room"

It has a fireplace and the spot

above it is for a TV.

Our washer/dryer will also be

down here.

This is a view of and from the deck.
This is the sitting window located in
the "great room" aka living room.
This is on the 2nd level of the house.

This is just an area in the
great room that looks over
the entrance way to the house.

This is the master bedroom (and bathroom)
All 3 bedrooms are located up on the very
top, 3rd floor.

And my favorite thing in the entire house...
my bathtub!! The shower and tub are separate!!

We are looking forward to making it out to Virginia to get started on decorating our home. Hopefully, we'll like it enough to stay for the entire 3 years we are there!! God blessed us and we are so happy to know that we have a place to step foot into when we arrive!!
