B-man has been on a "mission from hell" this week! He went to our next duty station to find us a house to rent. I say "mission from hell" because he encountered obstacles at every step of the way.
It started on Sunday with his departure. There were multiple delays which resulted in missed flights. He was supposed to arrive at his destination around 6 pm and didn't get there until 11:30 pm. When he did arrive, the car rental place he had reserved a car at was closed. He finally got a car from another company and got to his hotel at 1:30 am.!
He drove all over town the next day looking at houses and narrowing a list he had gotten from a property manager that fit our criteria. To make a long story short, every time he liked a house and thought about putting in an application for it, someone else had gotten there a few hours earlier with their own application.
So, there it was Wednesday afternoon and we have no house and B was just bleh about the whole thing. I was here feeling so bad for him. He really had his hopes on this one house and although someone had put in an application for it earlier, we decided that we would put in our application too, just in case the other party's application wasn't approved. Not likely, but it was worth a shot.
He spent the rest of Wednesday looking at neighborhoods instead of houses, realizing that he wouldn't be able to seal the deal on this trip and that we would move, and have to find a house when we got there.
BUT, he got a phone call late Wednesday afternoon saying that we HAD BEEN APPROVED for the house that he loved!! For whatever reason, the other application was denied!
Eureka! We have a house! Yay!
It looked like B-man's luck was changing. But, his return trip home was a disaster too. Let's just say he got to the airport on Thursday morning for his departure and didn't make it to Arkansas until Friday afternoon!!
Thank you Honey for working so hard to find the perfect place for our family!! You're the best!
Here are some pics!

Here's our new home!!
It's H-U-G-E! 4 bedrooms and a loft!
So, come visit us!!
This swing set is right across the street from the house!
It has 2 bucket swings. Boo will love it!
This park is in our neighborhood.I think B-man did a great job finding us a home! We're feeling a little overwhelmed with the move so close, but we're excited about our new place.

Woo Hoo! Your new home looks HUGE. Boo will be moving and a grooving there! :) It looks great, and such great playgrounds too. When are you moving? I thought it wasn't until May. Well, I guess that's only 4 weeks away! My goodness, where is 2009 going?
Thanks for the message on facebook. :) Creepy Smokey! lol.
Yeah! The place looks fantastic! Good pick B-man. I can't believe how quickly things are going and how soon you'll be moving, but don't panic and don't fret because it will all come together. The park across the street looks like fun and the house is definitely big enough for a Bradley family visit. Talk to ya soon!
Yay! The house looks great and the neighborhood too. I'm sure it's a huge relief to know you already have somewhere to call home when you move. We'll be doing it again in a year. I know the time will fly!
Fantastic find, B-man! Wish we could have been more of a help with GG's godfather in the area... Hopefully he can assist you all in some way in the future!! Congrats on having such an awesome place to which to look forward! Hugs!
Congrats on finding a place! I wish Houston was closer, I love the River Walk!
