The Big Exciting News...

Yes that's right....after replacing our windows and replacing our heating and air conditioning system, we're moving!Josh found our new house while surfing the Internet one day. No we weren't really looking to move, but we found a place that fit all of our criteria for a place to stay for a LONG time :)This is the font of the house. You can't see them in this picture, but there are 3 or 4 trees that line the road in front of our house.This is the entry way as you come into the house. This picture was taken from the living room looking toward the entry way.This is the living room. As you can see, it has a fireplace with built in shelves on both sides of the fireplace and nice hard wood floors. It is very spacious.This is a picture of the living room looking the other direction towards the dining room.This is a closer picture of the dining room in the corner it has a small build in desk for your laptop or bills.Here are a few pictures of the kitchen. It has double ovens, gray granite counter tops and newly painted cabinets with an updated tile back splash. We did not request to keep this refrigerator. Josh said that it was noise and it was kind of old and dingy looking so we purchased one at Conn's yesterday during their Labor Day Sale.This is a picture of the bathroom that is close to the dining room, kitchen, laundry room, garage, and what will be Josh's Office (pictured below). His room is one of four bedrooms in the house.
This is the hallway bathroom. It also connects to what will become the guestroom. This is the master bedroom. This is a picture looking into the master bathroom. To the left is the toilet and shower, and to the right is the walk in closet (pictured below).
This is a picture of the covered back patio. Josh and I are hoping to use our patio furniture more often this way since we'll have a shady place to sit. We'll just have to figure out how to keep the mosquitoes away!

Lastly, this is a picture of the back yard. Our house sits on a 1 acre lot. There is both this back yard and there is also a huge side yard.

We are set to close on the 18th of this month, so I am using a little time off of work this week to pack and get ready for the big move! Also, we are trying to find renters for our current house. We want to rent it out by October 1st. Josh made a sign for the front yard that we've gotten several calls off of and a few tours, but no definite renters yet. We're praying for someone to rent soon!

WOW! Congratulations! I sure hope we find the place to meet ALL our criteria for living in a long time- with Rob's mom, soon!

Really, I'm so happy for you! I know you must be so excited! WHERE is the house? Same city, or nearby? CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!

P.S. No wonder Josh hasn't emailed! He's been busy with you on all this! :)

The new house is in the same town. It's about 6 miles north of where we currently live.
