That's right, we finally found a house in Connecticut! It took a lot longer than we were anticipating but we are very excited with what we decided on. We had narrowed it down to a 3 bedroom townhouse, or a single family home. After lots and lots of prayers and thoughts (and yes, pros and cons charts!), we decided on the single family home - mostly because we were worried about having enough space in the townhouse - the one kid bedroom was incredibly tiny and we didn't think we would be able to fit two toddler beds (which in a couple of years we will have) and we wanted to give Ethan the other room since he is getting older and needs his own 'space.'
The house is absolutely beautiful! Ok, well the people who lived in it before decorated with some pretty crazy wallpaper that we don't really care for, but we can live with it for two years:) It has tons of space and a HUGE backyard! I can already picture the boys (and Josie!) running around playing baseball, tag, catching lightning bugs, and just plain having fun. There are 4 bedrooms, so the boys can each have their own room (although we may have Owen and the baby share a room once the baby is sleeping through the night, we'll see), and we can have an extra room for visitors HINT HINT!!! ;)
Although it has taken me awhile to get used to the idea of moving, I am actually looking forward to it in a way. It will be fun to get to meet new people and explore a different part of the country. Now don't get me wrong, I am going to miss my family and friends terribly, and our wonderful neighbors, but I didn't really think we would live here until Ethan graduated high school anyway, so we are just leaving a tad earlier than I thought when we bought the house.
