Finally!
My mother in law opened a resale store in her second home and has recently move it to a larger location. She wanted to tear down the old house and put up a barn where she can move the business back. Well, she has decided to let us live there for 1 year at 100 a month so that we can renovate the house and after a year we will be able to buy it at it's current market value. Where we live the land cost more than the homes.
We have a lot of work to do because it got pretty torn up with all of the fixtures that were added, not to mention the damage the house suffered durring hurricane Ike. But, I am so happy and thrilled! It is a 4 bedroom 1.5 bath, large kitchen, breakfast room, dining room. We are going to add a computer room as well. I am so excited! Everything needs to be redone almost and that is the most exciting thing about it. We can turn this house into what we want it to be! It will almost be like a brand new home!

We have moved from our rent house to the new house. It feels good to not have to worry about a big sum for rent next month. It's a huge releif. Especially because this renovation has taken every penny we have had pretty much. I literally have 12 dollars to last until Tuesday!. I'm not complaining mind you, we have food and the car has fuel. It's just that I miss having money! Which we won't have until this renovation is completed, lol which will likely be in a few years!
