Home sweet home

We have a house! Praise the Lord! I couldn’t be any happier about it. We actually ended up not getting the deer house. After our offer, the sellers came back with a counter offer and for some reason Derek and I both got an uneasy feeling about it. It was still a great house in a great neighborhood but something just didn’t feel right. So we called up Scarlet, our awesome realtor, and told her we wanted to keep looking just to make sure we had seen everything. There were three more subdivisions we hadn’t looked at. Wouldn’t you know, we found an even better house for us! It is awesome…4 bedrooms…all kinds of upgrades…big kitchen…on a cul-de-sac…one story…it just feels like home. We made an offer, then they made a counter offer which didn’t phase us a bit and it’s all in the works! We will close by January 9! I can’t wait.

Of course, I didn’t think to take a picture when we were looking at it because it was dark. But Derek is meeting the inspector there on Tuesday morning and he has promised me pictures.

The boys and I are back at my parents house and Derek stayed behind for his first day of work tomorrow. His first day of being a real grown up. Good luck, babe!

Oh man, it feels good to be home with family! We just did the Christmas lights outside and tonight we are finally getting the tree decorated. My mom was waiting for more people to get home. My little brother is here and I just know we are going to have so much fun. And after all the holiday fun, we will move into our home!! Good times ahead. Life it good!

  1. I am so excited for you Roomate! The house sounds great – I am thrilled to see pictures and then come and see it in person. Maybe we can plan a little spring weekend trip down to Houston! Fun!
