Moving on

It has been quite a busy month since we've gotten back from California. We bought a new house, the kids started school, and now we have to move this week and re-start school in our new town. We are finally realizing our dream of moving to the country and having some privacy. Privacy comes in the form of 10 acres, a barn, and a beautiful home. I know that our whole family feels that this is the right move for us, even though it is a big leap and pretty scary. We have loved living in the Bothell/Woodinville area for the past 10 years. We have such great friends here and love our schools, CrossFit gym, and church. I'm sure we will love Snohomish too. It's only 30 minutes away.

More about the house....
We had the opportunity to meet the owners last week. So cool. They have lived there for over 20 years. Their house burned down in 2008 and then they built our home in 2009. It is beautiful and I feel very blessed. They even have a sun motif throughout the house, on the tiles and inlaid in the entryway mosaic of rocks. It is awesome. They must have known that I am a California girl who needs some sort of sun. At least I have it in the house if I can't see it in the sky. They also have two horses that get to stay with us--Breezy and Jay. So now I have a 3 stall barn, 3 horses, 3 kids, and 3 dogs. What am I thinking?! It will be great. I'm going to have the busiest week of my life. So, I'd better get dressed and get to Home Depot to buy some boxes. Wish me luck!
