Ok, so we have sold the house, moved in with Ben's parents for a whopping 3 days, moved again - into our basement apartment (that has no sun light - Mindy I have NO idea how you did it for 3 years) and finally decided what we are going to do with ourselves. Yay!
After going out with our realtor once - looking at 3 houses (two of those being short sales)- we decided it wasn't for us. We had looked into building and even had a few places picked out. So we started to talk to builders and see what we could work out. We had a few requirements
1. It had to be in a good school district
2. It had to be close to Ben's work - so he could still come home for lunch
3. It needed to be in a good neighborhood
4. It needed to have a big back yard for my crazy boys to run around in
5. And we needed it to be within our budget
So, honestly we didn't think all of those needs were going to be met. We talked with 2 builders who were building in communities that we both really liked. But one came out to being just a better all around deal.
So after signing all the paperwork we got
1. A fabulous elementary school a mile away
2. An extra 3 minute commute for Ben
3.A wonderful neighborhood that is still growing
4. .36 acre lot
5.And a snug but workable budget.
We feel so blessed to have been able to provide this opportunity for our family. We really hope the next few months go by without too many hiccups but we know what matters is our family's well being and not where we live.
