home sweet home

Well, our lease is up on our apartment, and we've been house hunting already! And not only that but we've caught one!


A sweet little two bedroom cottage in Windsor. Its gorgeous... a cute little thing, both bedrooms have ensuites, the second bedroom's ensuite can be used as a main bathroom by locking it off in the bedroom. Slate tiled kitchen and dining area, wooden floors in the bedrooms and living room. Small enough that it won't make our furniture look super small, thats the problem with our current apartment, its so big our furniture looks tiny! Has a deck at the back that has a little serving area thing from the kitchen... the windows from the kitchen open out onto it. Big backyard at the back, with yard maintenance included in the rent, which is great, means we don't have to pay someone to do it. Its got a lockable area downstairs, undercover parking and a little shed thing under there too, extra secure. Small pets considered... and we're thinking of getting a little dog! ;) Maybe...
There is a vacant block of land on one side, which is nice, means we get a little bit of privacy on that side... Its really close to the city too, kind of just past the Royal Brisbane Hospital and a little more, then turn left and drive off the main road and your there. Quiet... and I've already scoped the area out, there is an Organic Community Farm at the end of one the streets nearby that have markets every Sunday! SCORE! Fresh produce... :D
We're going to be moving in from the 15th of September, taking our time moving, cause both Mateus and I are working during the days... but with the van it should be nice and easy... :) well most things, the bed is going to be a little drama, but we'll figure it out.
Am really looking forward to cracking out that hammock too! FINALLY!
It will be perfect...
*grin*

Things have been super smashing lately... :) tis all sweet...

Much more to write, but really should get back to work. I am currently the GV Queensland Registrar, Noosa Registrar is on holidays for 3 weeks for her wedding. She's getting married this weekend, we're heading up to Noosa for it.. I'll have to get some photos... Anyway, so I am now covering all Queensland schools registrations... BUSY

But am happy to not have to worry about house hunting... now its just the moving... Something to think about later. Now I will day dream about lying on the back deck in our hammock sipping a refreshing beverage and enjoying the weekend... ahhhhhh
