First let me say, WE HAVE A HOUSE! SO folks this means I will once again be a BA resident! It is pretty much everything we wanted in a house. 1300 sq ft. 3 bed, 2 bath. Fenced in yard, nice big patio, and what seems to be a cool landlord, who might let us rent to own.Down sides are as follows, it is like 12 houses from my mother, and it has headboard.Anyone have an idea on how to hide it? Rules are I cant paint it and I cant take it out.Send me any and all suggestions! Also does anyone out there like water gardens? I dont but the house comes with one. And I guess I am going to have to maintain it to prevent mosquitoes breeding in it.

Next step is Grant finding a job. He has applied for many but had no call back as of yet. It has only been 2 weeks, but it does feel like an eternity. But we are trying to wait patiently, but you know what they say, a watched pot never boils.

Good Points about BA:
*A recent national crime survey found Broken Arrow to be the 20th safest city in the nation and the safest city in Oklahoma.
*Broken Arrow was listed as #66 in the CNN Money list of the 100 best places to live.
*The Police Department has won several national awards for their work in reducing the crime rate.
*Broken Arrow has been listed as a "Tree City USA" for over 6 years in a row.
*Broken Arrow was listed as one of the "Top 25 Affordable Suburbs in the South" by Business Week Magazine in 2007.

It is crazy to think I will be living in a house I walked past every day from school.
