Our New Home

I've had a secret that has been occupying alot of my time. I've been hesitant to share it, why I don't really know. Well, today I'm putting it out there. We're under contract, and scheduled to close on this house next week! Yes, after nearly a year, we are finally getting our own place!

It's new construction in a community that was started about 5 years ago and has about 60 lots remaining. It's located in Mooresville, NC and is 15-20 min NE of where we are now. The schools are excellent and the kids will have lots of other children to play, swim, fish, ride bikes, etc with. We had been looking for a place with more land, but I am pleased to be in a place that's well lit, and will feel comfortable when Sam is gone. There is even a "NASCAR wives club".

The house has 2900 finished sq ft with a 2 car garage and a 1300 sq ft unfinished basement. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, formal and casual living and dining areas, and a loft that overlooks the main floor. We are on the perimeter, so there is nothing behind us, but a beautiful view of Earnhard'ts property.

The home is huge and will take a long time to paint, decorate, and furnish, but I think we are going to enjoy the heck out of it.

So there you have it. I've been busy with paperwork and details, shopping, packing and planning. I hope you forgive my lack of posts for the past month, there was a good reason! Now that I've put it out there, keep us in our thoughts that everything else goes smoothly and we get moved in soon. =)
