Green Acres is the Place for Me....

Well, we finally did it and took the plunge. We are now the proud new owners of a piece of land...a little over an acre to be exact! After searching through every nook and cranny in Tulsa County, we finally decided moving out of town and building was the right direction for us. We are so excited! (Ryan says we are moving to "the sticks" which now Jack so proudly repeats. Anytime we drive on a country road he asks if we are going to our house in the sticks!)

Here are a couple of pictures of our lot. It is one of only 20 lots total in this division, Twilight Ridge. Calling it a "division" is using that term loosely. There is only one street in and the "division" consists of only one street, ours. We LOVE that idea! We are far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town, but have the conveniences just a couple of miles away. For instance, the grocery store is only 7 miles away and a Quick Trip is only 5 miles away. I think we drive further than that now!

The greatest aspect of this land is that it is SO quiet and peaceful! You not only don't have to worry about your neighbor's house being 3 feet from yours, but you also get the incredible view from a 360 degree perspective. We can see downtown Tulsa from the back part of our property. Who wouldn't love that!

We have also seen several kids around Jack's age that live in the area. What a great place for our boys to grow up and not have to worry about the dangers "city" life can bring. We love the fact they can play and grow up with other kids that live right down the street from us.

God has certainly blessed us!
