The Land

We have felt like we were busting out of our house for a while now. Adding a fourth child made us all the more sure that our house was NOT big enough for us anymore. This makes me a little sad. This is the house that Robb and I bought pre kids. We thought it would be our forever house and we thought it was huge. We have gotten to know our neighbors to the point of them being our main source of friends for us and our kids. We have brought all our babies home to this house and in a way have grown up in this house. However, we Need more room. We have been keeping our eye out for something that would work for us for a while now even though we weren't really in a position to buy until I went back to work. In our looking we have discovered that it is really hard to find a 5 bedroom house that has enough living space and a decent yard that is in our price range. We have also discovered now that our kids are older that having neighbor kids can sometimes be a real pain in the neck. I have always wanted to live out of town and in the last year Robb has sided with me. We have been looking at land to build on. We found a 3 acre lot right outside of Roca that we really liked. It was close enough to Lincoln to commute to our jobs but it was still out of town. One of the best things was that it was in the Norris School District. We have been wanting a smaller school district for the kids for awhile now. We put an offer in and after a counter and re offer we made a deal and the land is ours! The kids are excited and Robb and I are thrilled. We are looking forward to building on it hopefully next fall. Until then we need to make house plans and pick a builder. I see a lot of decisions coming in our future.
