Moving along

Our house is finally under contract. We’ve been looking for a little while now at trying to find something that fits us better than our current home. We are in the middle of college student central and we are the only single family residence on the block. Our poor, little house is starting to get crowded too.

We’ve been checking out homes is various cities around the county and state. I’ll admit that we even checked out homes in Idaho for a while, but have since restricted our searching to Utah.

So many of the new developments have the houses packed in like sardines in a can. Honestly, I don’t want to be that close to my neighbors. I’ve had enough of that from living in our current home. I want space! I want a nice, fenced backyard that I can toss my rampant little hooligans…kids…I mean kids, out the back door and say, “Go, play!” and not have to worry about them dashing off into the middle of the street or a neighbors’ yard.

We’ve even talked about renting for a bit until the right house comes along. That would let us save up some money too, but renting a four bedroom apartment or house gets pricey. So we shall continue our search.

I’ll be sad when we move out of our little home. Its been a good home for us for a long time now. It has all the charm, classic lines, and detail that a lot of the newer homes lack. Though moving into a home that is less than 100 years old will be nice too. Definitely less drafty. 🙂
