We Got Our House

Yeah I'm so excited.. It looks like we are going to be able to get the house I fell in love with after all.. The owners decided to lease it to us with an option to buy it if we want so we must be living right.. I can hardly wait.. You can check out our new home here.. I love the neighborhood. It has a private pond right in our backyard and backs to a nature preserve. There is a nice trail that runs along the subdevision for me to go running on and its just like being up in the mountains because there are so many pine and other trees and nature all around the neighborhood. It's like being in a forrest! There is a nice size river that is just around the block that I'm sure Steve will ehaust with his fly pole.. And there is a nice big lake called Lake Ori0n within 1 mile of our home to go boating on.. There's actually about 5-6 lakes around us all within a few mins drive, and tons more lakes we have yet to discover all within about an hours drive.. There are so many lakes in this state it's a boaters dream..
The only downfall is we are about a 30 min drive to go to our church which will make the weekly activities a challenge.. It's not like I will be able to drop the kids off and then go home and pick hem up when its done. I will have to stay or go do some shopping then be there to pick them up..
Also I am about a 20 min drive from the nearest walmart.. I dont know if I will survive without being within a few mins from a walmart but at least there is a grocery store within about 5-10 mins so I guess it will do... I think we will really like being here.. Other then the cold weather and very snowy winters I think its alot like Utah where we grew up so I think it will feel alot more like home... And bonus they even have a scrapbook store out here Yeah!!! NJ didnt have one so I am excited to have one so close now.. I cant wait to get out here!!
