We have a house!

We chose this three bedroom, 2 bathroom house!  The owner, pictured, came down on her asking price by $200 a month just so that we could afford the rent.  God is so good!

Partial view of the front room... the livingroom/dining area/kitchen is one big open space.

View of the other side of the room.

kitchen area.. we have to get a stove and a fridge.



We  move in today and I will get more photos up when I can.  We won't have internet at the house for a while.  This is a three day holiday weekend here so not much will happen until Monday.  It is simply amazing how much we have accomplished this week.  We got here on Monday and already we have a place to truly call home.  And we are both excited that this morning will be the last one that we get dressed out of our suitcases!!

House hunting

This one was the first one we saw yesterday and I compared all of the others to it.  Originally we were told that the price would only be $400 a month.  However, because they are putting in a fence the price has now gone up to $500!

We will visit this house tomorrow. It is located not far from the University of Belize.  We are not yet sure if this is an asset or a liability!

This property is located about a 10 minute drive from the Belmopan in a village called Tea Kettle.  This is the veranda area where the caretakers of this 2 1/2 acre compound are living.  There is also a one bedroom house and a cement slab that could serve as the foundation for another home to be built on.

Here is a 3 bedroom 2bathroom house that is of interest to us as well. It has high ceilings which gives an open feel. It is also conveniently located in the city of Belmopan and in our price range. There is not as much property but is much closer to the church than the other two houses.
