Quiver0f10 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 and I am thrilled!!!! The house is about 2 miles from where we live now on a dead end road. :D The rent is going to be the same as we pay now, it's a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, but the best part is it's on 7 acres!!! Not a ton of land, but it's very private and we will have no more neighbors and no more subdivision! I will be able to have a garden again and maybe some laying hens. The owner said we could move June 1st if we want too :w00t: But I don't know if I will be able to gt it done that fast!? So, more likely July 1st although the kids want to move tomorrow LOL, so we shall see. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwcain Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Great news! Do you mind if I ask, are you anywhere near Paragould, AR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Congrats, Jean! Wow...7 acres! That would be the deciding factor for me, too! I'm so happy for you. I'm sitting her trying to figure out the new rooming situation around here now that baby is here (and is a boy and NOT a girl which would have worked out soooo much better!). I wish we could move. Ah well...I'll live vicariously through you! Keep us posted on the move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver0f10 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks! I am absolutely dreading moving again. The nice thing is Memorial Day weekend DH had 4 days off, so he can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Great news! Do you mind if I ask, are you anywhere near Paragould, AR? I didn't know where that was so I looked on Mapquest and it's on the other side of the state as I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwcain Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I didn't know where that was so I looked on Mapquest and it's on the other side of the state as I am. Gotcha. A buddy of mine is a priest in Paragould. He's the only reason I know where it is. :blushing: I'll freely admit I'm not much for AR geography, being originally from southern LA.

Hoggirl Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I am very happy for you. I know you had had an "issue" with a neighbor. I am praying for your health, too, Jean. Let us know how the blood work goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela in TN Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 That sounds wonderful and 7 acres (we are on 1/4 acre)! Now only if you could "beam" your stuff into the new house instead of having to move it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie in AR Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 That sounds great, Jean! Plenty of room for your kiddos to get out and explore. You are getting to be quite experienced at this moving business, huh? :D If I lived closer I would come and help you pack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yeah!!!! Lots of room to play and do outdoorsy things. What a blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wonderful! I read the title of your post and I was worried for a moment... this sounds so awesome! I'm feeling envious... 7 acres. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle in MO Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 because, if (kind of a big "IF" there) there's a WTM get-together in AR this summer, I was thinking you were moving out of state! Glad you're staying in the same area and are looking forward to a new house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 UGH nevermind. I posted too soon. DH and I decided not to move right now. I am really OK with it. The house is wonderful, but it just isn't the right time for us and finacially it makes sense for us to stay where we are in the long run. And now I don't need to pack :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
