Brownwood would be on the other side of us, so we would be between LSL and Brownwood. The same thing happend to us in Illinois. When we first had our house built, not too much around, but I knew it was a growing area. Within 3 years, we had everything we wanted. I suspect this will be the same.

You'll find that when you move here and get used to the area, nothing is really very far. :bigthumbsup:
As usual I am in 100% agreement with Chelsea. We bought in Hadley and we spent most of our 19 days that we were down furnishing the place going to stores. It was most convenient to get to Publix, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, JCPenneys, Target, TJ Maxx, Bed Bath and Beyond, and just anything you can want. Soon there will be a Kohls and a Michaels. In fact as I look back, I spent more times in the stores than I did in the house. Now that we are furnished, I plan to inflict myself on my new friends. :hot:
