This is the 1,000 SF house that we rent - We will not tell you our rent because you will CRY! We really want to buy a house here - and this is so cute - built in 1941 and very cozy...BUT would you pay $750,000...yes you read that right....and that is in a stifled market! So - the last time we checked we were not CRAZY!
Here is the backyard - which is a large backyard by San Jose standards...and our puppy does love it and we are very grateful. So Casey, Carrie and Maren - love your land! We luckily still own our home in TX which was hard to leave since we built it. The good news is that when we were home in AZ with the family in Tucson...we bought a house! Yep - well we are building a house. We are so excited!!!So now you ask...Are you going to move again?
So here's the reality - we miss our family, we don't want to pay a $1M dollars for 1400 SF, and eBay wants to move me to AZ. Can you believe that? Our house will be completed by November and then we will decide what to do. We do not want to leave this paradise that we just moved to, but we also don't want to pay for it. Sad huh?
Anyway - the family is crazy happy! Mom is already building the network for us because we will be in her stake! She is nuts! The saddest part is that I LOVE my calling as the 2nd Counselor in YW's and we LOVE our ward. We have not felt this kind of warmth in any of our wards before now and we have been in many. So that you don't think we are just nutso - we did have very strong promptings from the Lord to do this - and for us it is an act of Faith.
So in this case our lives have come full circle since Jonathan and I actually met in AZ. Funny thing is that we swore we would NEVER go back because of the HEAT. This just proves...Never say NEVER!

I totally believe all those numbers. We were so excited to get to move out here to NC because we knew we would NEVER be able to buy in Northern CA. Though, I must admit, you can't beat the weather up there. paradise.
Someone paid over half a million dollars for our cracker box, so I know the owners will get what they want for your house! Lucky you to be close to the mama.
Tell me about your house in AZ.
And Craig was eating dinner with Nokia...next time it will be with the Elders....at IN-N-OUT.
How exciting. But I understand leaving a ward that you love. We just did that. We would LOVE to go back to AZ and be close to family like that. What fun it will be for you all. Make sure you post lots of pics of your new house. Can't wait to see it.

I'm so jealous of the prospects of you being near your folks. I would love to have at least one of my kids (grandkids) nearby. By the way--D.R. Horton built our house in Surprise, and we have no complaints. We really love our house in Prescott, though, and much cooler than in the valley. You'll have to come up and visit us.
Sorry you felt deserted in the old neighborhood, we miss all those old good times and people, but we were lucky to sell when we did.
