Surround this house with 5 others within touching distance and you've got a good image of our new home. That's right. We've signed hundreds of times on the dotted line, initialled like crazy, and written the first of many checks with hopes we'll be settled by the time school starts in the fall.
The good news: 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, enormous kitchen, upstairs laundry, loft/playroom, and walking distance to a brand new elementary school and loads of trails and parks.
The bad news: cost 10 times as much as our first house (and that's not counting the upgrades we've get to add), a lengthy commute for the husband, the "mini yard" and very- super-close-I-like-your-new-bath-towels neighborhood houses.
The funny news: as we were signing our lives away the sales woman said excitedly "Oh, look! You've got one of the big lots!" I actually burst out laughing and tears came to my eyes.
But, there's no going back now so I'm fighting buyers remorse with loads of chocolate. Let's hope I'm not too remorseful since I can no longer afford to buy bigger clothes.

Sorry about the stupid picture placement. Naturally, I can't figure out how to copy the elevation of the house without the big blue blob.
I'm so excited for you! But really bummed you won't be moving back here. :( Your house looks beautiful and I hope everything goes smoothly with it!
The picture is beautiful and I hope that living near the new elementary school means your happy with the school district. I hope things go well and that minimal chocolate is needed!
