Right house, wrong street

After looking at many, many, many houses and getting down to the wire of being "homeless", I found this house and jumped on it.  It was just what we were looking for and had everything we wanted....except it was on the wrong street in the wrong community. :)  We had desperately been searching for a house in the same neighborhood community as the house we were moving out of.  We loved the community and wanted to stay close to our friends...preferably within walking distance (not asking much right?!). :)  Obviously that wasn't mean to be because the house we are in now is across town about 4 miles...9 minutes away from our friends (I know because I timed the drive, haha).  We love our new house and feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful place to call home.  It is a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 bath home with a 3 car garage and tons of closet/storage space...everything we wanted.  Now we just have to be much more deliberate about getting together with our friends.  No more going out front every day at 3 to hang out with my girlfriends and let the kids play....that was THE BEST!  It is still a huge bummer to me, but we are making the most of the new house and making sure to have play dates with our friends.  I'm sad for the boys though because there are NO kids on our street for them to play with. :(  They are all 9+ years old and we never see anyone outside playing.  The neighborhood is mostly an "older" crowd, bummer.  Anyway, these are the pictures I took when I first looked at the house....I will have to get some updated ones on here now that we are moved in and it is decorated.
