We're Moving.....for real this time!

If all goes well, we will be closing on our current house tomorrow and moving to Little Elm on Monday! We looked at at least ten houses in this area, mostly Highland Shores, but the only one we really liked was pulled off the market two days after we offered on it. Stink! We thought about stalking the house and sending menacing letters to the owner to get her to sell, but figured that might not go over too well :). Nothing else in this area really stacked up, so we started looking in Little Elm for two reasons: houses are newer, and the market there isn't so great, so the houses are cheaper. We found the perfect house for our family and are super excited!!! The one feature I really love about the house is the kid area is completely separated from the common areas by a long hallway. The kids also have a large playroom flanked by their bedrooms. Not that I don't want my kids around me, but it will be nice for them to have a place to go (or a place for me to send them to) when we start to grate on each others nerves! The one thing I don't like about the house: no trees! Well, there is one tree out front, but it's small and scrawny. I'm going to miss the trees and the shade at our current house.

I will say I'm a little anxious about the move. I've lived in the FlowerPlex most of my 30 years (lived in Sherman and Fort Worth for a year a piece, that's it). I know where everything is here; I know all the back ways to avoid traffic; I know the places to shop, the places to eat, etc. Little Elm is only 20 miles away from here, but it's still moving somewhere completely foreign to me and that's just a little scary! I told Justin he's going to have to buy me a GPS device so I don't get horribly lost with two children in the car. I already scoped out where the Library is, so we are good on that count at least! It also means finding a new church.

I'm still going to do childcare, at least until William goes to school. Coincidentally (aka God planned it), Justin's mom got a teaching position in Prosper ISD, which is not too far from Little Elm, so I already have a contact for getting childcare clients! In fact, I might already have one or two!
