New Home
After being shown over thirty houses in two days this is the one we chose. What we like best about this house is the location and yard potential. It is located in a cul de sac, on a third acre, with our church just around the corner. The streets are wide (those of you from San Antonio will appreciate this) and clear of cars and traffic.
On the third day we made an offer on this one. The seller countered once, but since we were completely out of time (flying out the next morning) and had no time for messing around, made our final offer and gave him two hours to respond......and we got it!
It had been on the market for over five months and is in a beautiful neighborhood so we were wondering what was wrong with it...its a 2007 new construction that has never been lived in. Our realtor pulled its history and discovered that it had been listed way too high. We ended up getting it for over $30k below its original listing price!
The obvious truth is that it had been vacant all these months waiting for us!!
My least favorite thing about this house is the lack of size and lack of flow of the kitchen and the size of the dining room. HOWEVER we do get these stainless steel appliances so it makes it a little better.
Some of my favorite things are the finished basement, duel sink in the master, and the closet in the master.
For the next couple of weeks we are going to continue with this level of insanity. Stevey is leaving for his new job in a few days, the movers are coming and moving us on the 15th, we close on our SA house on the 16th and me and the kids will head out that night to pick Stevey up in El Paso....who is flying there so he can help us get to our new destination and still be back in time for work on Monday. We close on our new house on the 21st (the day before Thanksgiving) if we miss that day it will be Monday the 26th. We do have a couple of back up plans if things don't run as scheduled.
We have been able to see the hand of the Lord in everything that has been happening lately and are so grateful for his love, direction, and Spirit that has sustained us and kept us pressing forward.

SOLD!
You would never guess that this is the worst time of year to sell a house or that the market really is struggling, because after just a week and a half our house is SOLD!
Christi Easton is quite the miracle worker and worked her magic for us, thank you.
Everyone keep their fingers crossed for us winning the salary negotiations presently going on with Idaho Falls!

What a Weekend!
Our Weekend started on Wednesday night when our friends the Yeates made it into town from Dallas. It has been a couple of years since we've seen them.
On that same night another friend came into town from Houston with her girls so we all got together for some brownies and ice cream.
YUMMY!
The following day the Yeates were to come to our house for a nice Mexican dinner, BUT that was the day that the rain didn't stop falling and they couldn't get to our house due to flooding and road closures. They had to spend the night in their hotel room with with nothing to do...sounds like a great time.
On Saturday we were all able to meet up at Sea World for a big going away play-fest and apparently that was the same idea the other two million visitors had in mind.
We had to wait in too many lines for way too long. Our one year old girls were all out of patience and Clover cried for what felt like hours until I sat her here in this beach chair and gave her this bag of crackers. We won't even talk about the woman who accused my friend of stealing her "saved" beach chairs and who started thowing our bags around and the tantrum I threw over it!!!!
Around one o'clock we went to the parking lot to say good bye to our friends and to exchange lunch...no food is allowed to be brought into the park. They ate it on their way home to Dallas.
By the next day and immediately after Stake Conference (that I enjoyed walking the hallway and in the drinking fountain with Clover) Zoie decided she was going to run away! On her way out the door she was considerate enough to drop us a note.
Stevey quickly caught up with her and gave her a cell phone to use incase she got scared or needed anything.
After about two minutes on her own Stevey set out to follow her just in case this got too serious, and luckily he found her in the drive way unsure where to go. They decided to take a walk together and take pictures with the cell phone camera. By the time they made it back home she felt much better and had a great time with her family.
