We're Going Country!

Our new house

The view from our front porch.

We are back from our house hunting trip. We have actually been back three days, and I have just about recovered. Five days times seven people equals a whole lot of laundry!

The trip went very well. We looked at about fifteen houses on Thursday. The children were real troopers! We went back and looked at out top three houses on Friday. We narrowed it down to our two favorites. It was a very tough decision. It was not just between two houses, it was between the "city" and the "country." One of the houses was in a subdivision, and the other one was about five miles outside the city. We made our final decision on Saturday, and put an offer in on the "country house."

The new house (the children named it the "horse house" because the current owners have a horse) sits on 3.49 acres. The three houses that we have owned have all been in subdivisions, so this is going to be a new experience for us. We are very excited! We are scheduled to close the first week of April, so everything is moving along very quickly.
