i've been looking for houses to rent on the internet - unfortunately not many of the agents put more than one photo on - some inside shots would be good - unless the house is so awful inside !

i do that i think i have a list of favorite houses for each state and keep looking at them.
Showed my sister a few and she is like make sure you get a house big enough for me to come and stay

i just long for the day when the army say yes we will take you and you are going here. They provide the house so we dont have to worry about that.
Gives us the chance to suss a place out before we decide where we want to live.

We sold our last house and all of the boy's bedrooms had a theme, the eldest room was bluey/purple and was a space theme, we had one room with bright orange and bright blue with trucks going around and the baby room had pale yellow and blue with winne the pooh border. Not one person had any complaints about it. Infact the family that bought it their kids loved it so much they didn't chance any of the rooms.
