We're emptying out both storage units.

Yes, you heard, and understood it correctly. We're moving into a house!
No, we're not new home owners, we're just renting it. And technically (if you're going to be like that) it's not completely our house. The attic is a separate unit that some girl lives in, and the basement is another separate unit that is currently unoccupied. However, the main front door, porch, back deck, and fenced backyard is all ours. Also, the 1400 sq/ft main level living space is ours. This old charmer was built in the 1920's and is complete with dark hardwood floors throughout, archways, walk-in closets, and a humongous kitchen (despite the nasty dark-red sloppy paint job on the cabinets I'll be forced to ignore). We're only 2 blocks away from Kate Curley Park and are living in one of the few neighborhoods in Idaho Falls that have sidewalks- pure luxury.
So, it's probably not as nice and fancy as your place, but we're thrilled to have it be ours... for at least 12 months (darned leases). It's Christmas morning all over again! Hip hip horray!

Hooray! It sounds wonderful! I'm so glad you guys are going to get into a space of your own for a while. And yes, it actually does sound better than our place. =)
