We originally started our search with the idea of moving to a larger lot in a more rural area. We started looking in Scott County where Andrea teaches. After looking at several tracts in the 1-5 acre range, and praying about it a lot!, we finally came to the conclusion that it would be too much of a stretch to try to buy that size lot and build a big new house on it. (Maybe someday, but that's a story for another blog.) We looked at several existing homes on larger lots in Scott County and then in some areas of Lexington we liked and just didn't find anything that we fell in love with. We could build a smaller house, but it wouldn't give us the space we wanted. We come to the conclusion for us that it wasn't a good value to buy a house 15years old, when for about the same money we could build a new one. So we had a choice: bigger new house on a small lot, older house on a larger lot, or small house on a larger lot. We went with the first one and decided that if we were going to be on a smaller lot, then lets pick one we like.
In 2008, Andrea had lived with Ben & Virginia Hodskins over in the Blackford/Bryant Oak neighborhood near Hamburg and really liked it. After thinking it over, and praying some more, we came to the conclusion that was a good place for us to be. We end up over there every weekend anyway with church, shopping, eating out, etc. It's convenient to everything, so that's where we're headed.
By the way, we attend church at Crossroads Christian Church here in Lexington.
