We've been looking to move for several years now. No rush - but we've always said that we wanted to move before Luke hit kindergarten. We've been looking off and on for 3 or 4 years now.
A few weeks ago, I was searching around on the internet and I found a cute little house. We decided to take a look at it as a last ditch effort before pausing the house hunt for probably another year (since baby number two is looming and there's no way I can even think about buying/selling a house with a newborn!)
The new house that we looked at seemed to have all the things that we were missing from our current house. Our short list of things that we were looking for in a new house is as follows:
1 - in Murfreesboro. We currently live in Smyrna (about 10-15 mins closer to Nashville than M'boro) but we are in M'boro ALL THE TIME!! It will be SO much more convenient when we just live there! Luke's daycare is there, Andie works there, we go there on the weekends for shopping, eating out, parks, etc.
2 - bigger lot! New house is a little over half an acre (compared to our current lot of .18 acres)
3 - more privacy. The new house backs up to a horse farm - so NO neighbors in the back!
4 - good school district. It is zoned for some of the best schools in town!
BONUS - it has a pool!!
The new house is about the same size as our current house, but instead of having a bonus room it has an extra bedroom (so, master, two kids rooms, and a guest room).
We close on the new house this Friday and are SO excited to make this move and start the next chapter of our family in this house!
