And the winner is...



Well, it looks like we went against all the voters on this one.
After a weekend of thinking things over and checking out the Camberwell area we decided to go with the Malvern East house.

The biggest factor was the backyard and patio. Also it was the only one that gave us 5 true bedrooms so that we will have a room for visitors. It was also the closest to the city. Another point was the fact that it is close enough to where we live now that Mel can stay in touch with the friends that she has made here.

Bentleigh was not a good option with no yard, and Camberwell was just to isolated.

We get the house on Friday at noon. Our rental furniture will be delivered Friday afternoon. Cable will also be hooked up Friday. We'll have to wait till Monday for our phone and internet though.

We're going to rent a van for the weekend to help with moving our stuff across. We'll probably also need to hit the Ikea or other furniture store for a few odds and ends. Hopefully by Monday we are settled in and ready to move on to seeing more sights instead of house/area shopping.
