We got a house!

Finally, we got a house that we like. It has been crazy with the amount of paper work and back and forth we have done to get a house. We have been on a waiting list for almost a year and knew that we would have to wait a while since we landed on the island to move in but a lot of the housing isn't ready for move in for another few months! That is way too long to be in a hotel with Jon starting work and Ethan starting school in a week and a half.

We've been offered a lot of houses but the thing is we cant do a walk through, you either except it or not without seeing the inside. So we've been driving to all the homes and just looking from the outside. We did like a lot of the house the Navy housing offered but not the school Ethan would have to go to and because of the area it is in. Navy housing is not on a base, it is right outside the gates but still not safe and secure enough. A lot of theft happens here in Hawaii and although we do hear about it happen on base too we will be just a little more safe on base rather then off.

We also looked into Army housing that is a 15 minute drive from base and have such a nice view since the Army post is up in the mountain a little, but they wouldn't have a house for us till about six months.

We ended up going back to the Air force housing office today and were just going to take a house we've been offered that we didn't like at all but it would be move in ready next Wednesday. The only thing we liked about this house was the location. We walked in without an appointment and talk to another consultant since our was out for the day and she was able to help us with our situation and not liking the homes.

She helped us big time, she made sure to get us out of the hotel as soon as possible and to give us a house we want. We ended up getting the house we love and the location is good too.

We can still walk Ethan to and from school, it's bigger square feet then the others, one story and on the safer side of the base. We move in Monday the 30th (the day Ethan starts school) so we will share about the move in then.
