It will be seven years since we bought our house. We brought three babies home, and met a lot of wonderful people in our community. some who I am sure will be friends for life. Despite this, this area has never felt like home. Mark has been commuting for 2.5 years now to the Milwaukee area with hopes that when the opportunity presented itself we would head home. One thing lead to another and M and C decided to move to North Carolina just in time to miss the Wisconsin winters. Once they put their house for sale it got us thinking that it is time to attempt to sell our house. We put our house on the market with little optimism that it would sell. Well, four days later we recieved a reasonable offer, a closing date at the end of October, but no place to go. Not even a community picked out. Well, lots of stress and lots of heart to hearts later, Mark and I picked a community and now have an accepted offer on a house. I love the big bedrooms, the large kitchen ( not the layout), and an awesome laundry room with a stationary tub. I do not love the pink master bedroom, or the mauve counter tops in the bathroom. Nothing a little paint, knocking out a few walls, and a complete kitchen remodel won't take care of. Oh, and since M and C will be taking their Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville Margarita Machine with them to North Carolina, Mark and I will need one of those too. It is good to be going home after all these years.
