(Where we live.) I was set on the fancy house and great yard but my husband refused, saying that the community was much more important. He wouldn't budge. He was damn lucky we found an acreage that I fell in love with in a community he loved.<br /><br />The fact that it was a shack on 20 acres was hard to overlook for the first five years I was stuck in that tin box. But now, as I sit in my new home on my acreage in the community that my husband insisted we live in, I'm glad he won that war.<br /><br />Because it was the community that supported (and still supports) me when Shalebug died. A fancy house couldn't have done that.<br /><br />Good luck, and I can't wait to hear about your quest. No chance of you relocating to another country eh?Redneck Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947243296264284961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-63603526299211022962007-01-31T10:59:00.000-05:002007-01-31T10:59:00.000-05:00Too bad it's insulated with history instead of... ...Too bad it's insulated with history instead of... insulation.

Our reasons differ slightly, but we also intended our current house to be a "starter" house. We have a couple projects to finish before we can put our own house on the market, but hopefully this spring, we'll be gearing up for a move also. And thanks for the link to that greatschools.net website. That'll come in handy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-82105777528109931942007-01-30T16:49:00.000-05:002007-01-30T16:49:00.000-05:00Wow, I knew this was coming, but didn't think so s...Wow, I knew this was coming, but didn't think so soon! Eventually, we will also think of moving, but for now, we are content with our choice for a school for the kids. Are you still thinking of staying in the area (just a few towns away?).Whirlwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865143484526708978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31704895.post-30912965904500166992007-01-30T16:44:00.000-05:002007-01-30T16:44:00.000-05:00Wow, Binky!

We bought a new cookie cutter house, but it has a family room, a big kitchen where The Poo can help me make brownies, and a yard, however small, that she can play in.<br /><br />May the force be with you in your search. And an excellent Realtor.<br /><br />PS- thanks for the great schools link.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342425698876916791noreply@blogger.com
