Introduction to our New Adventure

Let me start with saying thank you for reading this blog. My family (Dave - husband, Terrie - myself and L-Vis - 13 yr old German Short-haired Pointer, lived in Walkertown, NC for 9 1/2 years in this rented house. We loved the house but was not big enough for our addition. We invited my Mom, Margaret, to move in with us. We needed a larger house. One with another bathroom and another bedroom. We searched & searched. We found one that we all liked in Rural Hall, NC. We signed the papers and the house was ours.  All 4 of us moved in together. After 4 months, we are not happy with the DEVELOPMENT we are in. The house is great but we were not told alot of things about the neighborhood and the do's & don't's of Developmental Living. We all have decided that we miss Walkertown & the house that we were renting. We talked with the lady that we were renting from & told her of our dilemma. We wanted to buy the house from her. She agreed! So that is were we are now. I have friends that have been asking us about the house, when we were going to be moving, etc. They have said that they could tell that we were not happy in Rural Hall. Let me tell you, friends are super. They are very supportive about our decisions. I want to thank them all. Love you guys.
We are starting our adventure 12-24-12.
