Suburbia, here we come!

We have lived in Prague in an apartment for the last 2 1/2 years. It has been wonderful being in our apartment but times change and kids grow and need space. After buying the car our options for places to live grew. The thought of moving hung out there for a while and then we finally made the decision to move. With the nice weather the kids wanted to play outside, we wanted to BBQ, and we all want to invite friends over. We decided if we wanted to do all those things we needed a yard. We started the search by figuring out what towns would work for us since Jason will still need to get to/from work by public transportation. After narrowing the towns by public transit, we narrowed it down by length of travel time for Jason to get to work and the amount of noise we could handle from planes flying overhead. We ended up with a happy medium...not too close to the airport and not too far from town. It will be a 15 - 20 minute bus ride into town or 10-15 minutes by car and the drive to the girls school will take about the same as it does now. We will be living in the same village as a number of our friends which will be great for us as well as for the girls.

In any event, we have signed the reservation form and paid our deposit. We will sign the lease on Tuesday. The house is very cute. It is small but bigger than we have now. We will have three bedrooms instead of two as well as two bathrooms! Two and a half years of only one toilet is coming to an end! YAY!! When guests come to visit they will no longer have to sleep in the livingroom (hint hint guests...come visit us!!). We won't be living in a world of white walls as the house has other colors inside like yellows and reds and the girls room is already painted pink and green. The yard is nice and it has a small pool which will make for a very fun summer. Here are a few pictures I took with my iphone (so they won't be perfect). We can't wait to move in July!!
