Kalamazoo: Here We Come!

As you all know, Phil has been driving to Kalamazoo 4-5 days a week for the past 3 years. Although it was never ideal, lately it has become more challenging since Will has started "after school" activities like t-ball. It is really hard for Phil to get home for a 6:30 t-ball practice. He really likes his job and Stryker is a great company to work for so we decided to pack up and move to Kalamazoo. Alex and I went down there to house hunt and found one that we really liked. Phil went through it as well and also really liked it. We toyed with building our own home, but after we went through the house again we knew it was where we wanted to be. We are currently in the process of making some updates to our house (new siding, fixing the chimney, etc)and we hope to have it listed in the next week or two. 

Below are some photos of the house (which really don't do it justice).  It has a 3 car garage, a screened in porch, formal living room, formal dining room, kitchen with island, a kitchen eating area which is open to the family room, a main floor office, and half bath.  It has a two story entry with 4 bedrooms upstairs.  The boys rooms will be to the left when you go up the stairs, the guest room and boys bathroom are in the middle, and the master is to the right.  So we will have some separation from the kids which will be nice.  The master bedroom is quite large and the master bath and closet are ridiculously big.  The basement is finished and has another full bath. 

The neighborhood has a clubhouse and pool and walking trails.  We are in walking distance to "Texas Corners" which has a few restaurants and a farmer's market.
