We are pleased to announce that we are in the long, detailed process of buying a house. The house is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed in mid-October. The house is a split-level with 5 bedrooms (2 unfinished on the ground floor), 3 bathrooms, family room, and all the other usual stuff. We are pretty excited and visit the site at least once per week. It is located in a small developement with a lot of potential. There is a great park just .25 miles away and the area is opening a new elementary school in 2008. We'll keep you posted on the progress.
