We Rented Our House

About two weeks ago, we took our house off the market so that we could rent it. Our tenants moved in this weekend. They are a friendly family with three kids so we expect that they will fit right in with the rest of the neighborhood.

This past week was jam-packed with moving out of our house and preparing it for the renters to move in. Stephanie and I packed up our remaining belongings, touched up scuff marks on the walls, and shampooed the carpets. We are exhausted.

This week we will have a lot more breathing room. Having the house situated is a big relief. Now we can focus more on the upcoming adventure.

Just curious, where are you living while you're between house/RV? An apartment or with family?

  We are staying with my parents for the time being. We plan to purchase the RV this month. My two daughters are loving all the time with the grandparents!
