7609 Mulberry Bottom Lane, Springfield, Virginia

Well, we found a house on the first day of house-hunting... 2nd one we looked at. It was most definitely the one and we didn't have to look any further. My Mom actually had her eye on this house for a long time so it's one I had viewed before. It's quite a step up from the 2 base houses we have lived in the past 9 years. I love base living but it will be nice for a change to live in a civilian neighborhood. Our house is tucked away with another home in a small cul-de-sac... very safe for the boys (a huge plus for me) with a huge fenced-in backyard. We get the keys on Monday and the movers bring our stuff on Thursday. Living in temporary lodging facilities on Ft Belvoir hasn't been too bad, but getting back into a house of our own will be nice since we've been "homeless" for the past month (that's long enough with a 4 and almost 2-year-old).
