Everything will now come our way


After looking at houses to consider purchasing Dan and I went out to eat with my mom and Dan got this fortune cookie (it actually came with my meal but I was too full to eat it). We thought it was fitting considering we have all sorts of big changes coming. So we had to take a picture of it -right there in the restaurant-probably much to the confusion of waiters and other guests.

We looked at 6 houses today, all in different locations throughout the same school district. We've narrowed it down to two houses. Both quite different. One is older and needs some work, but it's on a canal with a private dock that leads to a large lake. The other is brand new and has a small pond in the back yard. It's such a tough decision to make. The first house is in a wonderful neighborhood tons of kids, 2 beaches, movies on the lake every Saturday night in the summer, playgrounds, two in ground pools, etc....

The other is a nice neighborhood too, but not all the cool stuff. In the end we think we are going with the less nice house so we can get all the amenities. I guess we decided to choose the more fun sounding way of life. Maybe someday we'll get a little boat and will be able to go out boating on the big lake directly from out own dock in the backyard. Sounds pretty nice and like a great way to relax.
