Update... It's looking like this has turned out to be a very good thing to happen in our lives. After talking to a bunch of different landlords, perusing craigslist for hours and hours and hours, and finally posting an ad of our own under "housing wanted" saying basically, "This is who we are, this is what we want, this is what we can afford to pay, we're quiet folks, we have animals, blah blah, call us if you got something. Thank you."
This morning, I get this call from this incredible woman with a rental & she wants to discuss it with me. She began describing what it is she has available and what she is looking for in a tenant. She was the sweetest lady, and we ended up spending about 45 minutes on the phone. We have spoken again since then, and it is looking like this is our place.
Check it out, you guys... we have been smiled upon. Our prayers, all the energy people from here and all over have sent us and given to us... we found a place (or rather, it found US) on a 7-acre alpaca ranch where we can garden, have our flock, our animals, our privacy, keep my same job, work off part of the rent, learn the alpaca business, and live in the Sierra Foothills wine country in El Dorado County. Oh, did I mention it's $100/month less than we're paying here? AND includes utilities???
We're going up to meet the landlady Thursday and do all the official business and take the official tour, though her powerpoint presentation was quite thorough. She sent me links to their farm's website, her blog, really opened up and gave us an opportunity to get to know her and what kind of place we're looking at.
We would be candidates for straight jackets if we passed this up. So we're not gonna.
