Home Owner Again?

Yesterday Jason and I closed on our house again. When we purchased the home 3 years ago we didn't think that we'd become permanent residents of Georgia. That being said, we quickly outgrew our 3 bedroom/2 bath home and have been weighing our options for the last year. We really want to be close to Emory (Jason has a 10 minute commute) and stay in a good school district. After we considered all of the factors it seemed most prudent to tear our house down to the foundation and rebuild it to a size that would meet our needs. Kind of hard to believe that that was the best option isn't it? The end result will be a lovely 2 story, 6 bedroom/4.5 bath with a huge playroom over the garage (one of my personal favorite features). As for now, we are just getting settled into our rental home and demolition is set to begin next week. We are trying to focus on the end product and not the pain in the interim right now.
So yesterday we signed a much larger mortgage and there's no turning back! We'll keep you posted on the progress but hopefully spare you the myriad of details that we will be forced to address.
