New House

We moved! We are now proud home owners of this beautiful place. This kind of happened all of a sudden. We really hadn't even planned on looking at houses until the summer. And our desired location was in Colleyville. But this popped up on Lane's Facebook page of all places and he sent it to me. Of course I thought it was nice, but didn't really give it a true go since it was in Burleson. Well one day, we had some houses lined up to see and decided to throw this one in there for fun. We really liked one house in Colleyville. So much in fact that Lane was ready to put an offer in. Then we came to this house and immediately felt right about it. We drew up a contract right there and put in an offer. There were 3 offers the same day, but luckily they accepted ours. It's an older home, built in 1972. It's on 5 acres and is not in a neighborhood. We love it. It's definitely been a labor of love. We had the whole interior repainted, painted kitchen cabinets, redid the back splash, painted the fireplace, changed out the carpet in 1 room, filled in the cutout for the wet bar, and replaced all the light fixtures. Down the road we'll redo the master bathroom and I would like to tweak the kids bathroom as well :) The weather this past month has been insane. We live up on a hill, so it has a constant breeze blowing. But we have had some severe storms with wind speeds up to 90 mph. One storm took out a large tree (the one between the 2 windows in the garage). The other storm, blew off half of another tree along with ripping off the blades of the outdoor fan on the back porch. So there's been a lot of damage control that is already wearing us out.

Here's the tree that is now gone :(
