New Digs

While we were up in Arlington, we decided to look around at rental houses. We drove all over Dallas and probably saw 30 different places & they were all dumps. Outdated, in bad neighborhoods, etc. Our budget doesn't really get you much. So we decided to expand our search to Bedford. That's about as close to our parents as we can be and still be close enough for Lane's work. Well we found one that we really liked. We started the application process, and after waiting almost a week, we heard back that we got it! What a relief it was to find that out. I wish I had some pictures, but they already took them off the realtor website. It's in an older established neighborhood. It's kind of an eye sore from the outside. The front yard is full of weeds, so we'll have to do some work there. It has a nice little back yard. The house isn't very attractive. It's white brick and in one spot there's a 6 ft wide column of black stone that goes from the ground to the roof. I don't know what the builders were thinking with that. BUT, despite those minor details, the inside is awesome. Everything has been updated. The walls are a nice neutral color. The bathrooms are really nice. Rooms are a good size with great closets. The master bedroom is really big. And my favorite part is the kitchen. There's lots of counter space & tons of cabinets! Finally I won't have pots & pans falling out. We are really pleased with this outcome. Trust me when I say that nothing else around in our budget compares with this place. It's really a miracle that we found it & got it. We move May 1st!
