Our New House

Three weeks ago Matt & I traveled to NWA to look at housing for our move. We'd been thinking that we'd probably move into a rent house or apartment until we decided where we wanted to live. Well, during the many, MANY hours of driving around looking, we happened on a subdivision that we both just instantly loved! It was in Farmington, on a golf course and nestled at the foot of the mountains. Of course, we pretty much figured that there was NO WAY we were going to be able to find something there. We saw a sign for a foreclosure & called about it. It was a great house, but needed A LOT of work! However, through talking to the realtor, we found out that the owner of the house next door was desperate to sell. We went back this weekend to check out the house and we just loved it! It's absolutely perfect for our family! It has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an office/playroom, formal dining and is almost 1000 square feet bigger than what we have now. We're so excited to move in and have some extra space. :)

I cannot wait to see the house this fall! The view from our backyard is going to be spectacular! Now we're just hoping that everything falls into place. We're sooooo excited about having SO MUCH more room to spread out........now we'll even have room for company (hint, hint).

One other great thing about this house is the location. We're only 5 miles from the freeway/Fayetteville, but we're also only 3 miles from Prairie Grove -- which is a great little town! One of the things I'm most excited about is that Prairie Grove has the only freestanding children's library in the state! It's right next to this tiny little park & has a wonderful new playground right behind it! It seems like there's going to be SO MUCH to do when we finally get settled in!
