Jamie the wonderful love of my life is from a part of the country I used to never think I would ever visit. The part of Colorado she is from is basically Nebraska and her sister and brother and families live in Hastings, NE. I know right? People actually live there!
Anyways we are still in the middle of busy season but Jamie’s niece Kaylee had a birthday this last week and her party was on Saturday. Kaylee asked if we were coming to the party and her mom told her that we lived too far away. She started crying, so of course we had to go and I got to venture into uncharted territory.
After the 2.5 hour drive from the airport (I KNOW!) we arrived around midnightish in Hastings at their house. We went to bed pretty quick but wokeup fairly early in the morning. I heard the little munchkin upstairs so I woke Jamie up and we surprised her, she didn’t know what to think!
It was a great time hanging out with everyone but the real purpose of this post is about possible life altering decisions. I know Jamie would love to live near her family and her nieces and someday we will have children of our own and it would be great to have them play with their cousins. Just joking around a few months ago I was looking at houses in Hastings and we found this one that was really nice, 4 br/4 ba, basement, office, fully updated nicely finished kitchen, backyard with a pool. We found out it was RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from Jamie’s sister!
So Tim set us up an appointment to go see it. My word, the pictures and listing did not do it justice. I have found my dream home! So we walk in the entry way, gorgeous, To the left is a formal living room, and beyond that the formal dining room, past that is a gorgeous finished kitchen, stainless steel appliances, a nice island. Then you have the living room with a door to outside which we will discuss next! The living room has a cutout for a huge tv in the wall, it has prewired wall mounted speakers, a fireplace!!!! Let’s go outside next! You step out on a smaller deck (compared to my current one) but you look out on a glorious sight! A beautiful pool, lawn chairs and pool chairs galore. To the right of the pool is a roofed bar and grill, beyond that is a small mini garage which was used it appears for poker and has a fridge and it’s own heating system. Off beyond the pool are more chairs an a firepit. Who could ask for anything more? Me! Lets go upstairs! The master bedrom is a whopping 27′ by 17′ (somewhere around there) It actually has a sauna in it (probably won’t stay, but still). It also has his and her closets! A nice master bedroom too. There are two other bedrooms upstairs and another bathroom. As we head down to my awesome new lair! I forgot to mention on the main level the half bath, the great laundry room which leads to the 3 car garage with a sink!
Lets go to my lair! Downstairs is a wonderful theater, a projector with a drop down screen and a comfy couch! off to the right is a self contained office, to the left is another bar! There is also a bedroom and bathroom in the basement.
So I never thought I would move to Nebraska, I told Jamie Texas is as close as she’d get, but it would be such a blessing to live near Tim and Bobbi and Travis and Kristy and the girls. But being able to do that and live in a dream house! Time to figure out the finances of it all!
So wish me luck in figuring this all out!
Yay yay! I hope it does work out. I love you! =)
