Boston

Star A is Downtown Boston Star B is the house we have applied for the base is just east of Concord.

The town is Acton and we choose the house for the town. We love the area it houses one of the homeschooling coops we will also be less than a mile from the riding stables for the kids lessons.

The closest stores are about 2 miles away and one of them is a Trader Joes. This looks like  is a small New England town with some pretty awesome perks . Only one fast food joint near by and it is even made to look pretty :) and a dunkin donut (but those are EVERY WHERE) the rest are small cafes and small restaurants !

The other day we tried the one right next to the house we are hoping for and I got Lobster Bisque for lunch!!!!!AMAZING!!!!

You are probably wondering about the house and why I am not raving about it. The truth is the townhouse is just okay. After we move in it will be perfect but in this process we turned down 2 beautiful houses each with 1000 more square feet and top of the line upgrades in the kitchen which I LOVE.

But months ago in TN God pressed upon my heart a number for rent. I even wrote about it in my journal. This number is low, low,low for this area  it is $700 less than our BAH. It also doesn't allow for a home with upgrades or extra square feet or even an extra room. It allows for a townhouse with a 20 minute commute on good days.

Only ONE home opened up under the amount God had pressed upon me and it lead us to a town 20 miles outside of where we were actually looking. When we drove into the town both Ryan and I felt a peace we both loved the commute so beautiful the people are nice (and kind of loud which I love!) Tons of families everywhere even out walking riding bikes in the snow/rain. The home will take some getting use to. Really the bright BLUE toilet and shower in the master bath will take some getting use to.

But God is good and he put me in TN for a specific reason (another post for another day. it is GOOD like live changing good he just waited till the last days to make me aware of it!) God has directed us to this house for a specific reason and it will be GOOD too. I know it.

more rambling about the area and house later
