My parents have been looking for the perfect home for what seems like forever now. My mother has the perfect home in mind, and my father the eternally cheap one, doesn't want to spend too much money. They have decided that since I am away at school anyway, now would be a great time to move by my brother, his wife and their 3 kids. More power to them, I think that my sister in law will probably have a break down with my meddling mother in the same town, but oh well, I guess that is going to be their problem now. Anyway, finally they came up with a solution. A friend of my father's, who knows that they have been looking for a home for quite a while now, suggested Schumacher homes. Apparently they are a company that offers some beautiful custom made homes at a reasonable price. Well, they went and met with someone from Schumacher and mom was really impressed. She loved the styling of their homes with lots of high ceilings and a lot of windows all over the place. My mother loves nature and she loves to have lots of sunlight coming in from all over the place. It helps the plants that she has all over the house too. They found a plot of land in a neighborhood just a few blocks away from where my brother lives, and although dad wasn't completely satisfied with the price, he said it was okay, but that's dad, he's eternally cheap. I thought the price was amazing for a custom built home and so did mom. She is so excited that she will be living right near her grandchildren, she can't wait another day. It will be a few months before they can move in, but mom says that will give her the time she needs to get their old house sold and packed up. She also had them make a room just for me, with my own bathroom and everything for breaks when I am home from school. It's a good thing that she did too, because I still have a lot of stuff in their house that I really would hate to have to get rid of, and you know nothing fits in a dorm room so that would be out.
