Calling New Jersey our HOME

I thought it would be nice to talk a little bit about the place where Ryan, Carson, and I will soon be calling HOME. Ryan started a new job with Toys R Us back in late October. Right now we are staying in temporary corporate housing...a one-bedroom apartment in Wayne, New Jersey. Other than the fact that Carson has to sleep in the Living Room/Dining Room, it's not too bad. =) I must say, it's much easier and faster to clean than a 2 story house. haha

At the end of January we will be moving to Hamburg, NJ which is in Sussex County.


Sussex County...
* Is home to nine wildlife management areas, six state parks, two national parks, two major ski areas and 20 golf courses.
* Sussex County's public educational system is ranked 2nd in the state of New Jersey, which is ranked 3rd overall in the United States.
* Has New Jersey's lowest per capita crime rate.



* Sussex County is located in the northwest corner of New Jersey. The county borders Pennsylvania to the west and New York to the north and east.
* Has a population of twenty million within a fifty-mile radius.
* Is located less than fifty miles from three major international airports and two major seaports.
* Is less than one-hour to New York City.
* Has over 40% of the land mass preserved through federal state and local efforts.

We are in the process of buying this townhome and have a tentative close date of January 30th. We went there today for the inspection. There were a couple small items that need to be fixed before we close, but overall the house was in great condition. We also got to meet the current owner. She was very nice to talk to and we found out they are recently retired and will be moving to Arizona.




We hope you all will come visit us. The views are spectacular and I'm sure there will be lots of fun things to do and see once the weather warms up a bit.
