I am so excited! BF bought a house and we are moving in about 4 weeks. The house needs a bit of work but between BF and I and a little help from the kids it will get done. We are only moving 10 miles away but to a very small town (under 800 people). This sweet little town has its own school K-12, so all my kids will be in the same building. The bonus for me is that I will no longer have to drive kids to school. I have been doing it for almost 12 years and the last few years have been a pain with 3 kids in 3 different schools in 2 neighboring cities. The kids will walk to school and back, a whole 2 1/2 blocks. I will only have daycare costs on some non-school days and some of the summer for my youngest. I work from home part of the day so she can stay with me or even go to work with me. Our house has a huge backyard and a big front yard too. Each of my bio-kids will get their own room, FSS will share with BD7 when overnights start when he is 1. My girls have always shared a room and BD12 needs her own room because BD7 cramps her style. Being a pre-teen is so hard! LOL

I still have lots of painting to do, a floor to rip out in the kitchen, carpet to clean, BF has floors to put in, and lots and lots of cleaning. The house has been empty for over a year. It was foreclosed on so we got it super cheap.
