I Can Imagine!!!!!

Almost five years ago we bought our condo in Taylorsville. We were happy because it was a place of our own that we were not renting and it was a place us and a 6 month old twins could call home. Well since then we had another little boy almost two years ago and we have felt like we have out grown our place by furniture and toys. For the last couple of years we have talked about buying a house and moving. This year we are talking about it more and think we might try to sell our condo this spring and buy a house (if the market fairs well for us).
Don't get me wrong, I have loved the condo and the neighbors even when there has been some challenges like having drug dealers live next to you, you cond building catching on fire twice in three months, but we feel it is time to move on.
As we have been talking, we have talked to the kids when the move were to happen and they are even excited.
I can imagine having a garage that I can park the family car and the convience that loading my kids in and out of it plus groceries or anything else will be. I would not have to scrape off snow and ice that forms on my husbands' car. i would not have to constantly look out my windows to make sure the cars did not get broken into during the day or night.
I can imagine what the "boys" room would look like and what the "girls" room would look like. I can see a room where I would have my piano that is nicely stored at my parents; and I can here the children bang on the keys and them learn how to play. I can see myself playing it again and the children sitting next to me to listen.
I can imagine a kitchen with a big counter where my husband will make homemade pizza and bread like he did when we lived at his grandparents home. I can imagine the nurf gun fights with the children and the "hide and go seek" they would play. I imagine a room for all the toys and the childrens' laughter and playfulness fills the room.
I can imagine a backyard with bikes and toys whether it be a swing set, trampoline or a blow up pool. I can here the sqweals and giggles as the children run around and play. I see them playing tag, kicking balls around, playing water fights, making snow angels in the snow.
I hope that what I can imagine can be reality for our family. We are blessed for that I do know.

AWESOME! I know we have two houses just down the street from us that are for sale. We know one of the families and they've done incredible work on their house. It's soooo cute, and bigger than you'd imagine! Wanna move slightly north?
