It's Starting!!!!!!!

Wow!!!!


We thought the day would never come, and now, all of a sudden, it's being thrown at us in all directions!! WE ARE FINALLY MOVING BACK TO TEXAS!!!!!!

WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Last weekend we headed home for a couple days in the hopes of finding a new place to call home. We've been speaking with a real estate agent since December, and made a list of about 10 houses that we wanted to look at. We flew in on Thursday, spent the afternoon with my Grandma, then Chris' family, then Friday afternoon we headed out.


I've always been one of those people who go on feelings, and as soon as I saw this house, I just KNEW it was for us. All the other houses, (even the one we had picked out online that I had pre-decided was going to be it), just didn't feel right. Chris kept looking at me like I had lost my mind because for all the other houses, right as we stepped in, I'd look at him and shake my head. He kept saying, "You haven't even LOOKED at anything!" But, sometimes you just know.


Needless to say, we both finally agreed that we'd found our house. But, we had to wait til Monday to speak with our Mortgage guy and run some numbers. So, we got to enjoy the weekend with our family. Well, not complete joy, my Grandpa's memorial was Saturday afternoon, but my one of my bestest friends, Analee and her hubby David, came up from Houston to spend some well-needed time together.


Monday morning came, and Chris and I got all the numbers worked out, and by that afternoon we had made our first offer on our very first house!!!!!!! The negotiations went on for a few days, but Thursday morning at 7:30, I got a call from our Realtor saying, "Congrats!" EEEEKKKKK!!!!! It was unbelievably exciting! So, now we're scurrying around trying to get papers signed, documents faxed, movers coordinated, and a bunch of other things done before Chris goes out for his last and final trip to sea. Which, in itself, thrills me beyond belief. I can't wait to have him home for good!


And now for some pics. They aren't the best because they're the ones the current owners posted online, but you can kinda get the idea.....













EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
