PEACHTREE CITY. it is a lovely city with an EXCELLENT high school, middle school and elementary schools which I have to say was the deciding factor.
So when we went down to check things out the week after Christmas we had narrowed our search down to a couple of cities Peachtree was actually on the bottom of our list because when we were doing searches it seemed to be the farthest out from the Airport BUT when we arrived and immediately went down to it it actually wasn't as far as we thought and we really fell in love with the city!
Peachtree is a "golf cart community" which means their are 100's of miles of golf cart trails (that you can also walk, and ride bikes on) Kids who have their learners permit (which you can get at age 15) can actually drive the golf carts with out an adult with them. above is a pic of the high school parking lot they actually encourage the use of the golf carts because there is not allot of space for parking.
I have to say we first encountered the golf carts when we stopped in a shopping center to pick up a few things, we first noticed the signs "cart crossing" or "yield to carts" we figured there must be a senior living center somewhere close when we did some further investigating we got the low down on the "golf Cart community"... we think this is kind of neat and have already started looking for a golf cart.. there not too expensive!
not that we are golfers or anything but there is 5 award winning golf courses in Peachtree so my brothers should want to visit!!!
So all in all we feel good and the more we do research the more we find we probably have made a good decision Peachtree City has been consistently in the top 100 cities to live in for the past few years here is the most recent article I could find where peachtree came in 91 in the top 100 in 2011.
So Ben leaves on Monday he's driving down because he didn't want to be with out a car for any length of time He has some leads on a couple of rental homes (fingers crossed one of them will work out!) if not we do know of an apartment complex that has 4 bedrooms available that we can hopefully not sign a hugely long lease while we look for a house to rent... we feel good about all of this. My last day of work is next Friday the 13th (yes I know I'm asking for trouble last day being Friday the 13th). we are actually thinking we are going to try to be out of here by the 1st of Feb if we can get everything to fall into place...
Brad I think is coming to terms with the change, not happy of coarse but not actively miserable either.. Hunter seems to have glimpses of being excited and KayLea is very excited so we have the whole range of emotions.. we certainly are going to miss NH but know this is whats right for our family now...
we love you all and appreciate so much your support and prayers through out this time please keep the prayers coming they are obviously working!
