Our new house! 2:59 PM

Juan, Colin and I just got back from our house-hunting trip to Florida. We looked at 25 houses in two and a half days. It was exhausting, but well worth it because we finally found a house we love, in a great neighborhood.

The neighborhood is called Oakleaf Plantation and it's very family oriented. It has two awesome pools, a beautiful golf course, two fitness centers, tons and tons of parks around every corner of the neighborhood, great schools, and tons of activities for families. Some of the activities that I saw in their newsletters are things like halloween parties, saftey days with face painting and clowns, movie nights on the soccer fields, scrapbook nights for moms, babysitting services, pet sitting, and on and on. I think it will be a great neighborhood for us to be in.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a huge great room plus another living room with fireplace. The master bathroom is huge, with a garden tub and seperate shower, and a huge walk in closet. The house is almost 1800 square feet which is pretty much doubling where we live now. It has a two car garage, pretty landscaping, a nice lawn in the front and back, and the entire house is in excellent condition. It was built in 2005, so it's still fairly new.

Here are a few pictures of the house. I didn't take that many at this house because it was the 25th house we saw and by then we were so tired of looking at houses. We do love it though!!
