This is actually the 2nd home we put an offer on. The first was a big, fancy home that we loved. Upon researching the schools we found that they were BAD and we quickly backed out of the deal. I didn't feel it necessary to do research before we put an offer on it because the neighborhood was so nice...it was a good learning lesson for me.
The good news is that within 10 hours, found the perfect home/neighborhood/schools for our family.
We will live very close to our school (no more carpools woohoo), we have a nearby trail, a quiet neighborhood, but most important we have a pool and hot-tub (no more going to the public pools or waiting for pity invites from Farrah to swim). We also live 3 miles away from one of my sisters and are in the same ward (look out new ward!)
I'll certainly miss being so close to my friends and the kids school, but I'm excited about our future in this home...mostly I'm excited I don't have to drive to run on a trail!!!
So send me good thoughts as I'll be packing a family of 6 and moving in 2.5 weeks...not to mintion all of my normal wife/mommy/business owner duties!
