Moving on up, to the East side.
Finally, the family and I are moving out of the 240 loop. We are moving to Cordova (Houston Levee and Macon Rd.) I have lived in Nutbush (to all you non Memphians, Nutbush is a neighborhood in Memphis) my whole life, in the same house. I am nervous as can be. I always get like this when I commit to something that cost money, but this is good for us. Our little girl will be able to start kindergarten next year in a great school (Macon Hall) which is a Shelby County School, not a Memphis City School, THANK GOD!!!!
The house is nice. 1800 Square feet + a huge 2 car garage. It is on a small lot, .2 acres, which is great, cause I aint a lover of the yard work. We are getting it from a friend of ours who is recently divorced and needs out from under it. We are doing a 24 month lease with an option to buy at anytime during those 2 years at $30k below the latest appraisal, (he wants out of it bad, his child support is now greater than his mortgage). He had it built in 2002 and he and his family have been the only owners.
We are excited and a bit shaken. We learned of this house on Saturday evening at a 4th of July party, went and looked at the house the following Monday, and we are signing the papers tonight at 6:30, and take possession tomorrow.
Just wanted to share with everyone our joy.
