We made it to Texas and have been going non-stop. We went to my family reunion in Childress last weekend and had a great time. We have been house hunting and have seen probably 20 houses in 3 days. Yesterday morning, we happened to drive through a neighborhood and found a house for sale that we hadn't seen before. We took a flier and we loved the square footage and the price. We were able to see it yesterday. Until yesterday, we were thinking we may have to settle for a much smaller house, or a less desirable neighborhood. We ended up seeing three homes yesterday that make up our top three. The house that we found driving around is at the top of the list. We are so excited about this house. It is 2822 sq. feet and has 3 bedrooms with the potential to make it 4-5 easily. We got pre-approved today and are looking to make an offer Thursday or Friday. The kids all love this house. It has a huge tree in the front yard and 'soft' grass. It was built in 1963 and has been updated in most rooms. However, Kate is begging me to leave the velvet wallpaper in the front entry. We'll have to see about that. My dad is coming to town tomorrow to look at it with us and I will take pictures of it then. We are hoping no one else knows about this house. It has been on the market for only 3 days.
We have done some exciting things and taken some great photos, but I will have to upload them and share more later. Now that we are done hunting, I may have a little more time. I'm not sure since this is our first home to purchase. We'll keep you posted and hope you're able to come visit.
