Looking forward and looking back...

I am beyond excited to share with you that we are very close to owning a home again!!! We signed a purchase agreement last Sunday. This past week we had a home inspection performed, which turned out well. If all continues to go well, we hope to close Mid-May! The house, oh man..the house is just perfect...beyond perfect, actually. This house has exceeded my expectations. In June it will be 2 years that we have lived in Texas...TWO YEARS! Can you believe it? We went to a Raising Canes in Irving, TX this weekend...it had been since October since we had eaten Canes. I must say that even though I am a Texan now...I still had to wince at the sight of Dallas Cowboy gear used as decor in a Canes restaurant. :)

Back to the new house...We will be going from just over 1000 square feet to over 2700! When I first moved here, I thought it would be easier to clean since it is smaller. I have found that a smaller place is harder to keep clean because you have no room to put anything. I just know that we will look back on these past years and wonder how we made it with such little space. One thing if for sure, we will certainly appreciate the new place. I am looking forward to eating meals as a family around the dinner table again...and I am looking forward to decorating for holidays. I have already planned out most of the Christmas decoration placement. It just doesn't feel like a holiday without being able to decorate for it. Finally, we should talk about the natural light in the new place...The house has so many great windows..windows under the cabinets and even windows in the closets! And speaking of closets...tons of closet space! TONS! I can't wait to invite you all in...whether in person or virtually. Until then...I will leave you with a few pictures.
