So to play a bit of catch-up... I last left off after our first full day in TX. The next day was consumed with house-hunting. And if our first encounter that morning had been an actual reflection of how it would end, we probably would not be moving to TX! The house was GROSS - it smelled like pee, there were dirty clothes and shoes piled around, dogs barked loudly and incessantly - we walked in and we walked out. Luckily though, things got better.
We looked at 16 houses in all. Some much better than others. Many over priced and some out right old. One we were excited to go see had a pool, it ended up smelling like cigarette smoke - as non-smokers that's a deal breaker for us. There was one shining jewel. A brand new house, never lived-in and just waiting for us! It's really perfect!! Smaller than our home here in NY, but we want a bit smaller. It has that new home smell :)
We made an offer and it was accepted. We can move in before closing, as soon as we arrive in TX on the 24th, which is exciting! They don't even have the yards in yet, as they wait in hot, dry places because they don't want to pay to water the grass until absolutely necessary - makes sense to me. We went to the Realtor, Bank, Water dep and then were finally able to relax!
The 4th of July was enjoyed together, Hubby and me! We went to the home of new friends and just chilled out! Then, in the blink of an eye, we were driving to Dallas to catch a flight back.
Nathan, Matthew and Nicholas were THRILLED to see us (I think my mom and dad were too!) and we keep getting big hugs, so that's a plus. I really did try to have a relaxing weekend but I really don't think relaxing comes for a while. I've jabbered enough - get to work!
I'll leave you with a glimpse of the house - living area with fireplace and then kitchen - yay! :)
