Change #2

We are moving out of the sticks!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Okay we knew when we bought this house that it was a starter home for us. This house is just too small now, we've outgrown it & need some more space. When we moved in here we didn't realize the exact issues that Little Man had. If we'd of had even an inkling of what was to come, we'd of NEVER moved out here. We live in the middle of NOWHERE. Town of about 4,000 people. Not even a McDonald's here! lol. Of course like every small town in Texas, we DO have a Dairy Queen. For those of you from the north our DQ's serve YUMMY food, not just desserts.

Anyhow, living out here in incredibly inconvenient. Little Man's private speech is almost a full hour away...ONE WAY. The neurologist & neurosurgeon for the boys is over an hour away...one way. Our schools here aren't horrible but they are not what I want for our children. We want options for them. If they want to participate in a sport, we want more than one team or league to choose from. Things like that.

The bad part about all of this is that we do actually LOVE LOVE LOVE the speech therapist at the school & our town has a FANTASTIC private school here that we were planning on using. The good news is that we are moving into a district that is known for its great schools. We have known for some time now that homeschooling could potentially be the best option for Little Man. He's so smart but it's easy to not realize it because his communication can be so difficult to understand. We don't want him to fall through the cracks.

That said, he doesn't start Kindergarten until 2011 so we have lots of time & I guarantee his speech today will not be the same as then. Thank goodness for his late birthday huh? LOL.

The house is being built so we aren't expecting to move in until October. Hopefully we'll have our place on the market in the next week. We are cleaning things out like crazy. We have 2 piles in our garage right now; sale & storage. We know we'll have to put some stuff in storage to make this place showable but that's not a huge deal.

We knew we wanted to move next summer but rates are SO LOW right now. They are creeping back up as Obama prints all this freakin' money so who knows what they'll be by next summer if he doesn't stop. Grrrr...but that's a whole other blog, lol.

This is what our house will look like when it's done. Colors will be different but you get the idea.

Man I can't wait!
