I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. :: looks around for spies ::

We're moving! We found a place! It's roughly 50 miles from here, which makes it about oh... 2 miles from hubby's work. It's on 15 acres of nice, flat land and I am oh-so-excited! Of course, it is a lot, lot smaller but we will manage. We'll rent storage if we have to with the money we save in gas, and we'll still come out ahead.

It's still a secret because we won't be moving until hubby comes back from his vacation this summer, and I really don't want my mom or my teenager to know until I absolutely have to tell them. They will both have little temper tantrums that will make any 2yo jealous I'm certain. So, much like a pregnancy, I'm really not announcing it until it "shows" . Teenager will be leaving next week for his dad's for a few weeks so maybe he won't notice all the packing going on. And I have warned both of them that we've been looking for something down that way and if we found the right place we'd be all over it. So hopefully it won't be too big a surprise that we found the right place.

The size is way less than optimal, but the acreage and the location more than make up for it. It sits on a dead end road that feels like the middle of nowhere, but in reality it only takes 10 minutes to get to the mall. One level of living space, with a kind of finished downstairs that I may give to the teenager to appease him. It's a pretty cool space for a teen I must say. I may need to utilize some of that space for food storage or something, but I think we can spare most of it. It has its own bathroom down there too.

So, we'll be looking to move toward the end of Aug. or beginning of Sept. I have a lot of work to do between now and then!
