We’ve lived in our cottage since we got married 2-years ago. We love love love it. Evie loves the kitchen and porch. I love the hardwood floors and $25 PG&E bills. It’s been the perfect place to start our first years in marriage.

But for the past few months Evie and I have been looking casually for a new place to live. Money has gotten tight and it was really the biggest expense to cut back from.

We found a place in an apartment complex and our application was accepted immediately. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. We were nervous about the inherent problems that come with apartments, but we had to sacrifice somewhere. So we started heading in that direction. I even put down the security deposit when…

Out of nowhere, my current landlord offered to lower our rent $250 because she’s loved having us at tenants and didn’t want us to go! She knew that we were tight on cash and wanted to give us some grace!

There’s a couple lessons to be learned:

1. Be awesome tenants, you never know when it’ll pay you back.
2. God cares about me, because He knows how much my wife loves our place. And a happy wife is a happy life.

So we’ll be staying in the cottage for at least 6 more months. Thank you God, for that incredible gift!
