Anyway now that I rambled...we bought a house. I didn't put an explanation mark on the end of that statement like I normally would have.
Charlie and I discussed this observation. That after already having bought a house - new and old - it just isn't exciting. I mean it is but not like it used to be. After all you still have a mortgage, cleaning, and of course taking care of it. But it sure is nice to have a house to call home! Now this I did use an exclamation for. Renting is not our gig, that is for sure.
We only moved a block away from where we were renting - the house had a great floor plan, was already updated, and enough space. Even Savannah has her own full bathroom!! We just felt at home there when we walked in. A little more than we wanted to pay of course, but we also didn't want to have to move Savannah out of the school district once she started and I heard pricing was going up both on houses and financing programs.
So far so good. We are learning a lot about Texas soil and how it affects your house foundation. That it moves when getting moist and drying. That we have to keep it watered. Very odd to us. Here are a few photos and we are still settling in so it doesn't show everything but you get the picture.
Master Bath "Hers"
Master Bath "His" - btw you can't see it but the shower is HUGE
Back patio
Kitchen minus the new fridge (on the left you can't see) that is being delivered
Guest / Main Bath
Front door
Not much to look at on the outside (like why are the front windows so dern small?) but it has all the upgrades we wanted and at the best price before the market and rates went up.
