Well..after six years of saving and being crammed in our small, (but sweet!) house, we are moving!! We are just so thrilled. God has truly blessed us and our patience has paid off! We are moving to a small little neighborhood called Corrigan Trails just a couple miles from where we are now. We will be a bit closer to my brother & sister-in-law & our nephews (and future niece!).
The house is going to be started sometime in September and should be finished Jan/Feb. We'll see! :) Below is a picture of our lot, or as I like to call it, our future yard! :)
The 2 things I love about the neighborhood: 1) It's gated, which just makes me feel a little better with as much as Matt travels. 2) It has a community POOL!! WOOHOO! The house will be walking distance from the pool, but we don't have to take care of one in our backyard. :) Here's a pic of the pool:
Owen is going to LOVE that mushroom with the water falling down. It also has the nice cabana that you can see in the background with a men's & women's restroom & an outdoor shower for getting dirt off before hitting the pool & it has ceiling fans...which is a nice addition for these Texas Summers. I'm so excited about it and am already thinking about having Owen's 3rd birthday party here next summer. Wait..3rd birthday party??? That cannot be. I must move on before I think about that too long.
Anyway, like I said, we are just over the moon and thankful for God's blessings. Also, I MUST give credit to my amazing, saving minded husband. Because of his vision, patience & commitment to saving, we are better off financially. I will admit it... I like to spend! I'm grateful that he told me "no" when he felt I needed to hear it. He makes me better.
I cannot wait to create our family memories here and I also cannot wait to use this future home for Bible studies, get togethers, showers, parties, family events, and anything else that comes along!
That is AWESOME! Congrats!! Such an exciting time! For a moment I thought the 1st picture was of my neighborhood and got excited. :( I guess even though y'all aren't gonna be my neighbors I'm still really excited for y'all! ;)
ReplyDeletehehee! Thanks, Ashley! I know...we looked & looked & looked...and the builder who owns this lot discounted the lot if we built with him..so money talks!! :)
