Our New Digs

Well, the lease went through, the owner will be getting our security deposit today, and the house will be taken off the market. Move-in day is May 1st. I'm so excited to be back in Texas and in a house instead of an apartment that I wish we were moving a month sooner. I'm an instant gratification type of person. When I decide I want to do something, I want to do it NOW, not tomorrow, not next week, and most definitely not next month!

Here are some of the pictures that our friend Rob sent us:

The front of the house. The driveway and garage are around back, off of an alley. Alley parking is a Texas trend that I don't particularly care for.

The view from the front door. There is a short hall to the left with a bathroom and the two kids rooms. The master bedroom is to the right. Part of me is itching to ask the owner if we can paint the brick the same color as the wall...

The "breakfast nook". You have no idea how happy I will be to no longer have carpet under my table. And I'm hoping that ledge is wide enough to use as extra seating when needed.

The kitchen. We have to buy a fridge. Yippee. Laundry room and garage are past the kitchen on the right.

Master bathroom. Large tub and seperate shower. Need I say more?

The view from our front sidewalk (well, from Rob's car in front of the house). What you see there is one of the best things about this house: a park directly across the street. You can see the playground just beyond the tress. Life, folks, doesn't get much better than that. Unless it's horses. Horses would be better than a park. To me anyway.
