We are moving!

As if moving twice in one year isn't enough...I am going to make it a third time soon as we bought a house and are moving within the next month! We are very excited about this next phase for the family...the house is great - several hundred more square feet than the current house, an additional bedroom and bath, a great location just north about 10 mins from where we are now....AND....drum roll please.....an incredible backyard with a POOL! =) Oh...and we have orange and lemon trees too! We have already sampled the oranges and they are YUMMY! We can't believe how great of a deal we got, it almost still doesn't seem real to us. The housing market definitely worked in our favor to be able to afford this house...and even though we are going to be taking a hit on the current house, we will be definitely gaining an amazing house at an awesome price. This is a smart move for us, the family and our future. My parents were a HUGE help in this process with all their expertise - they have made this process soooo much easier!
We couldn't be happier...the girls already have their room colors picked out and Bobby and I are going to take on some projects, starting in the kitchen. The house overall is in great shape, but we wanted to do some things to make it "ours." I will hopefully be posting some of our progress along the way!

We head to San Diego for the girls' spring break next week and the week after that we should close and have the keys to finally get started on some of the painting and kitchen stuff. We can't wait to get in there and get settled! My family comes out at the end of April, so we are shooting to be officially in the house before that - mid-April.
Enjoy the video and pictures below!

It's so cute!

Oh my goodness...this is our pool! What?! How cool is this pool????
That's right...there is a waterfall in our pool!

Still can't believe this will be our backyard!




Here's a video walkthrough of the house. I apologize if this is a little bumpy and quick - I didn't have enough space left on my memory card, so I had to hurry, but you'll get the idea!
