We found a cute little basement apartment on the other side of Flagstaff. The walls are all a beautiful pine and we have a flagstone fireplace. It has two bedrooms and 700 square feet. (Definitely an upgrade from our 450 square feet). We share a washer and dryer with the family upstairs (a huge bonus since I have never had a washer an dryer on the premises I have lived-excluding about 6 months.) Our front door opens to the backyard which we have full access to including a trampoline; Carlee is in heaven. There are lots of windows even though we are in the basement and I can easily send Carlee outside to play for a couple of minutes and keep my eye on her and know that no one is going to snatch her from our fenced backyard. We get all of this for about the same price as the student housing we came from. It is wonderful! Really, I am in heaven. I almost forgot- we also have a large area for inside storage. We live right at the base of Mt. Eldon which offers a nice view and we are on the sunny side of Flag so the snow doesn't build up near as much. I feel so blessed for all of the added amenities.
I'll get pictures up soon...but for now just know that we are happy and getting well (getting over a little flu bug.) :)

The new place sounds grand! It must be especially nice to have somewhere for Carlee to run around. Glad the Lord is watching out for you!
Yea! Congrats
Yeah! So happy for you guys. I hope you all are able to get over your flu bugs and come visit for a quick trip next week!
That all sounds so nice! I know it's been stressful, but how wonderful that it worked out so well for you! I want to see pictures of Carlee on the trampoline, I'm sure she's so excited!
I'm glad to hear things are great! I can't wait to see your place! :)
You're right about the Lord knowing what's best. He has done well by you with that place. It will be great while you are saving for a home.
Yay! That is so so so cool! I bet Carlee LOVES the tramp! Claire loves jumping at LaNell's and Kathy's. Just today I was wishing I could have one for her. She loves it so so much! Get better! Hope to see you soon! We need to get that gorgeous little girl of yours photographed!
yea i am so glad that you are getting all settled in. i saw the pictures on mom's blog looks good. by the way did you go down the hill sitting backwards on spencer? if so i am impressed.
Wahoo for you guys! A fenced in backyard AND trampoline? Mallory would be in heaven too! I'm so happy for your little family and it sounds like things are heading in the right direction! Take care!
Congrats! Hope you are all feeling well by now :)

Sounds like a great place. I am so happy for you and your family.
What a blessing for you and your family. I hope all continues to go well.
That is so wonderful! Backyards make such a huge difference! I have been glad that we have one,...but now if we could just get grass back there. Just a few more weeks hopefully....
Sounds like you guys found the perfect place for you 4!
Will you email me your new address please? I like to keep this info updated. Thanks!
You guys are the perfect appreciators of a fireplace. Maybe it will still be cold when we come up so that we can enjoy the "lodge" with you!!
I do feel that "When God closes a WINDOW, he opens a DOOR" because better things always happen in His time.
God bless your family! Love, Carol
