Well, after finding the PERFECT house for my family, we aren't going to make an offer on it and will go with choice #2. Apparently it is in a less desirable part of town, not bad, but not great. It was just so perfect though. 4600+ square feet, almost an acre, NEW with every upgrade you can think of. So, we'll go for #2, see if we can square up a contract on it by Monday and then in a few years we can build the exact home I want. Here is a link to what we are hoping to get. If it doesn't work you can copy and paste. Check out the home tour. It is nice, just not as big, but we can add a couple of rooms above the garage. The garage will hold 6, yes 6 cars. It is not on a lake, but across the street from one and has a gorgeous patio/pool area. The day we move in I will have someone there installing a child safety fence around the pool. Come stay with us when ever you'd like. We are only 40 minutes from Disney, Animal Kingdom, Universal, Sea World, Orlando, Tamp, 4 hours from Miami, and tons of beaches in every direction. This home has been completely redone since the hurricanes of '04 and has a safe room, and is category 4 or 5 wind rated.
(I have removed the link as the home is no longer on the market and won't show up)
Wade has the older two boys out camping tonight, Kyrie is sleeping over at a friends, so it is just D-Oh and me hanging out together. Not sure what to do with myself it is so quiet and peaceful. Enjoy it while I can!!! Michelle and I had a great time in Florida over the weekend. We were so silly, just like teenagers again, but had fun none the less. Surprisingly Wade managed okay without me, but with a lot of help from Kyrie. Thanks to both of them, especially Kyrie. She gets dumped on a lot by her dad for help when I'm gone.

hope it doesnt come with the hideous furniture. given the current housing situation you should find out how long it's been on the market, what the last buyer paid etc. best of luck....
After Dad looked at this he thinks he will just come and retire with you. Why wasn't this your first choice? Luv MOM We be right down next summer!
Yeah, the guy is a wounded retired vet. He said the furniture was negotiable, but alas, not my tastes or style. It was choice #2 because #1 had over 1000 more square feet and a huge game room upstairs where we could've put all of the kids things. It was new and amazing, but we'll be okay here.
The other one didn't have a POOL, which I think you will love. Your kids will have a way to entertain themselves for hours when it is too hot to do anything outside. The furniture isn't the greatest, neither is some of the wallpaper, but it will be wonderful to be in your own house. Hope it all works out.
