Were Moving!!

I am very excited its almost time to move. On the other hand I will miss having my sister around. And her little house is so easy to clean. But anyways we found the perfect house in the perfect city. Its 3200 sq feet 4 bedrooms 1 and 1/2 bath with a full basement. Half of the basement is finished for a big playroom with new carpet and the other half is storage which is great because there is only a one car garage and we have a lot of stuff from our old garage. So the basement is perfect. The first floor has a beautiful entry way with the staircase being open up and a big hall closet so this everyone can take off their boots and hang up their jackets. It opens to the living room and formal dining room with beautiful hard wood floors theres a fireplace on this side. Theres a doorway to the den and kitchen the den/family room also has a fireplace and a big beautiful set of windows looking into the backyard. Its nice because there are doors so I can close off the family room and the kitchen so when the babies are crawling they will be confined to this area. The kitchen is big enough for a small table and chairs set with a wall lined with three or four pantry closets on it. There is a sliding glass door leading to the deck thats plenty big for a bbq and fire pit. On the deck there is built in benches but I would like to get a patio set. There are no fences but the big grassy area is open to a culdesac. And the cities police captain lives on the culdesac behind us. Compared to the neighborhood our house looks small and simple. The street is lined with trees and big big houses. Just a few blocks down the street is a mansion with private beach access but the family has opened a trail for the public to take walks on. Its wierd out East much of the beach is privately owned. There is a perfect public beach about 1 mile away and durring the summer there is a lifeguard Im sure we will spend a lot of time there. Ok so back to the house the only down fall is that the kitchen and bathrooms arent as modern as I would like the floors are nice and new but the fixtures are not. But its worth the trade off of so much space. Just dont mind my bright yellow countertop in the upstairs bathroom. We decided to rent for at least a year so we can settle into the area. I love this house it would be great if we could buy it next year. We will have to see what happens. The upstairs is nice the 4 bedrooms are good size. And there are secret storage closets in some of the closets its funny. They made good use of all the space. After I settle in a bit I will surely post pictures I cant wait to show you all. We got some new furniture its going to look great!! Im so excited.

The city is Marion we are right on Buzzards Bay just before Cape Cod. So we get warm currents where Cape Cod has cold ones. The water is perfect in the summer. The city is like something out of a book. Listening to the realtor I was in awe. There is so much available to us. The YMCA offers so much for the kids to be part of swimming, dancing, arts. There of course local sports teams. The elementry school is newly renovated and at half capacity. They offer all day kindergarden (it does come with a tuition) music and instruments. Swimming lessons at the beach. Its a great place for a family. Its a small town of around 5,000. Chris will be commuting to work its about 45min. To be close to his work we would live in a small house and the Boston city schools dont have a good reputation. So the burbs are for us. Not to say there arent nice areas closer to Boston but believe me you pay for it. This works out great and Chris is willing to sacrafice. I was more worried about his drive than he was. And he could always end up in a district closer to this place who knows.

Well if you have managed to keep reading this long thanks! Im really excited to set up our new house and we have a great guest room with a king size bed!! So come visit us. Its like being in a beach house. The kids are all looking forward to it. One more blessing the school secretary said I just talked to the principal about you and she wanted me to tell you that both herself and the VP are trained in diabetes care. Plus they have a nurse full time. I really had to hold back the tears. Feeling a great sense of relief. That settled it this is the place for us.
