Exciting News!

No..we are not having another baby...yet. We are moving! Just a few miles away, nothing too drastic.
A little while after we moved into this house, I realized that this school district was not where I wanted our kids to go. I tutored in this district for a while, and Teeny taught for a couple years in this district. It is just not an "ideal" school district. After that, I told Jeff that when we had kids, I would like for them to go to school in a better district. One day out of the blue, we started looking at houses.  Then, we realized that Jeff's mom and stepdad's lease was going to be up soon. He brought up the idea to them of renting our house. They need more room (the grandkids keep coming.) They decided that they would, so we started seriously looking. We found a neighborhood that we really liked. It's five minutes from Jeff's work, and the school district is so much better. We took a look at a few houses in the area. We looked at two that are in the process of being built and three that someone is living in. There was one that we knocked out immediately. We put in an offer on the one that we really liked. The owners did not like the offer too much, so we went back to the drawing board. We decided to take a second look at one of the ones being built. We decided that it was our house. We put in an offer, they countered and we accepted! The house has four bedrooms, three baths, a study, granite countertops, a fireplace and a HUGE master closet! It's very exciting. We won't close until July, so we have a little time to get everything cleaned out and everything.
We are beyond excited to start this new chapter of our lives! Enjoy the pictures...keep in mind that it is still in the beginning stages.

I will keep everyone updated as the house goes along. I am so excited that we actually get to see it as it comes together. :)
