With our lease in theBrownsville rental drawing to a close, we began looking for a house to buy in the Willamette Valley.. along with 1,000 other families! We were pretty discouraged at what we were finding.. the old farmhouse we liked was currently being used as a grow home- it smelled so strongly of marijuana that Ashley and Amanda got a migraine every time we walked through it. Kilz wasn't gonna be strong enough for that place! We looked and looked but couldn't find anything within our price range & with acreage.
Some friends approached us and asked if we would be willing to rent their home for a time while they went to work at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky.. The rent was very reasonable and the home was not only located on 5 acres but also is located next door to some special friends also! An answer to prayer. Short term, possibly.. but gave us another year to save to buy!
