Another door closes...

Well, you win some you lose some, and when you lose you should learn. Aaron and I overlooked a little provision in our lease that says you CAN'T paint. Well, our kitchen was so dark we were just going to paint our cabinets. They looked so good too. But our landlord caught wind of it, and issued Aaron a 30 day notice to vacate and explained that we can't make any changes to this house since it is not ours. Heeheee. I guess we were used to being homeowners. And Alicia, yes as difficult as I am, customized EVERYTHING to my liking. I know we are forfeiting our deposit, so this was quite an expensive lesson learned. But in our favor, we did find a MUCH nicer house. I would make no changes to it! I was waiting to take pictures of our house until we got our cabinet painting project done, that was going to be the final touch. AND now we have all ready started moving our stuff out. I don't even want to take pictures of this house. I have never really liked it, and although we had some really nice, welcoming neighbors, these are the people that ratted us out to the landlord. Aaron and I just quietly packed our stuff and we have the movers coming next Saturday to transport it to the new house. Well, lucky us, they allow dogs, and we are looking at a dog right now and that would have been breaking the lease as well. So we are lucky that we just get to move out. I am excited to move, but also it seems like we have spent so much time and hard work getting everything to our liking here. I do love North Carolina. I am very excited to get IN and get SETTLED!!!!! Once and for all. And with that, another door will close, but yet another door opens. I am a little tired of packing, but yet I know that something better awaits us!
