House Hunting

Chris and I looked at a house today that I loved immediately. In terms of changes that would be necessary to the house there are only two minor things we could note - a carpet change in one upstairs room and a new fence all the way around. Otherwise, the house was absolutely perfect! It has loads of space! Three bedrooms with extra space between the kids' rooms for a game room, an upstairs office area for the computers and an extra room downstairs for a den/library which we've wanted to have for a while. There are lots of great windows and great landscaping and a nice, not-too-big back yard but with just enough space and a magnolia tree. It has a sunken tub and shower in the master bath and an ironing space in the walk in closet. The kitchen isn't the biggest attraction but it's still nice with enough counter space. The pantry is a little small but it will be fine. It's on a corner lot on a small cul-de-sac with a park on the street and walking distance to a Randall's and little strip center of shops.

We feel like we should look at at least one other house so we don't just buy the first house we see but this one really would be perfect. There is another house on the same street also for sale so we're going to look at that one as well. The location is perfect for us. It's zone to different schools though. Chelsea will have to choose what school she wants to go to - Lake where she is now and I'll sign and out-of-zone form and she'll just drive there or Brook where she was a Freshman and which we'll once again be zone to. Chris and I will be marginally closer to Houston and our jobs. We pass this neighborhood on the way there now.

I'm very excited about the move now. Before it seemed like it would be this daunting task of trying to find a suitable house that meets all of our combined needs but this one nailed it on the first try. I'm amazed.
