Oh the changes have taken place.

I'm sitting on my couch just getting over the stupid flu. Tom and I are expecting in July, so to have a place for our little one we thought it'd be the perfect time to buy a house. We've done so much research, and really thought hard about the decisions we're about to make. We know how much we can spend, and the general areas of where we'd like to be. We have a really cool Realtor who has taken us freaking everywhere. We settled on a house that was good for the money, and pretty big. It was in Kearns, but the house was newer and in my impression a decent looking neighborhood. They accepted our offer(like ten grand lower than the listed price). I was really starting to think I'd own a freaking home. But I knew i wanted to be damn sure that i was making the right decision. All of this went down yesterday. This morning, my mother-in-law saw tom while him and his dad were finishing up a project, and she asked if we checked the sex offender website to see how many offenders lived in the area. Way good idea i hadn't even thought of. I put in the address and come to find out that 13 offenders, alot of which have 1st degree felony forcible rape convictions, live in a mile vicinity of my would be house and so close to the school where my little baby will go. 5 men of the 13 live in a halfway house like two blocks away. I didnt think i really had any deal breakers. Its for damn sure this is one. I know I can do better than that, and I know that's all I'd think about once we moved in. It wouldn't be fair to spend so much money and work so hard to have it tainted by the thoughts of freaks living so close to me. I guess it's back to the drawing board.
