After looking, we found that the inventory on pre-owned homes was small. One of our requirements for our future home is to have a good sized lot where there is plenty of room for kids/dogs to play. Apparently that is extremely rare nowadays. All of the homes we were looking at had TINY backyards. Like, literally a strip of grass that is about five feet in length from the back door. So our realtor basically showed us every house that had a decent lot (which was about 6) and we weren't thrilled with what we were finding. Grayson and I went up to Frisco by ourselves to meet with the realtor on a weekday and we toured some builders spec homes....and I fell in LOVE with one. It was about 75% finished, but I didn't think it was an option for us since we needed a home in May, not now. Fast forward a week, and Jason came up with me and toured the same house. We were obsessed. It's absolutely gorgeous, and beyond our expectations of our dream home.
After a fight with our landlord, we are now breaking our lease early and closing on the house on December 20! Nothing like cutting it close to Christmas or anything. :) We will be out of our Dallas home by January 1. Plan is to sign the home papers, move some boxes up there, head to KC for Christmas, then come back and have movers move all of our big stuff between Christmas and New Years. I will be sad to leave Dallas, but not too sad because I'm so excited about our house! We met last week to pick our lighting, carpet, tile, counters, etc. So fun.
It's going to be a crazy next month and a half, because we have about 50 days til we're out, and have to move. Again. Time to start packing!
So that this post isn't too boring, here's some updated photos:
The park next to our house had an awesome Fall party. They had a huge bouncy house, train rides, petting zoo...so fun!
