Well, after a lot of research we decided that we like the Bentonville area enough to go ahead and commit to moving here! It’s smaller, quieter, and more relaxed than out west but still has a ton of outdoor activities for us to enjoy!  There’s also the bonus of being pretty much in between mine and Jason’s parents who I’m sure will all enjoy having us less than a day’s drive away! So… we bought a house! 🙂

The actual location is Bella Vista, which is north of town.  It started as a retirement community so there are golf courses, lakes, a clubhouse with a nice gym, and, of course, mountain biking trails everywhere! 🙂

As you can guess by the state of the backyard, this house isn’t quiiiite finished yet.  So we gave them our money, but we have to wait a month or so before we can close and actually move in. (dangit!)

<one month later!>

Yeah, this blog post is going to be out of order but I don’t care. lol.  We killed some time and finally got to move into our house!
