Where are we going?

AHHHHHH!!!
HOORAY!!!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!!
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!!!!


I CAN FEEL THE TENSION LEAVING MY BODY!!!!!
As most of you know, we have sold our house! We've got 9 days left in our old casa!!!
Where are we going you might ask??
Finding a house is very hard!!!!
It all started with this house. Hello?? Can you say castle?? We love everything about it. Perfect house, more space than we could every ask for, perfect neighborhood, close to mom and dad, close to the highway for work....blah, blah, blah, except that it is a foreclosure. And really do we need 3400 sq.ft. No we don't. So we decided not to pursue house #1.
I loved house #2 with all of my heart. Look how cute it is. Great house, great neighborhood, close to mom and dad. So we made an offer on Friday night and.......somebody else made an offer on Saturday morning and WE LOST!!! Can you say devastated????
Then we were thinking about house #3 but not everything was perfect about this house. So we decided to go see another house to compare it to.....
Hello gorgeous house #4!!!! Look at that big beautiful oak tree!!
So we opened the front door (not expecting to like it) and we fell in love!! We made an offer and it was accepted and we close on the 18th!!!!
The only thing bad about it is that the previous owners LOVED to paint and have lots of nerdy borders. BUT the good thing is that can easily be changed!!! So please ignore the hideous color on the walls......
this is our new living room!! Love the floors and the gorgeous fireplace (you know, not that we need a fireplace in blazing hot south tx but whatever!!!!)
Here is our beautiful new kitchen!!! Look at the windows and look how much room I will have to make a big mess!!
Trees in the backyard and a covered porch!!!! Can I get an Amen???? Also there is a greenbelt behind us so no back neighbors peering into our yard!!!!
Here is our new bedroom (please, please ignore this electric purple - it is the first thing to go!!!) Lots of space and a high ceiling!!!
Finally, my life has just gotten sooooooooo much better - a garden tub!!!! I can die and go to heaven!!!!! I wish I had a picture of the master closet!!!! You would have a heart attack. Literally, it is almost as big as Rocco's room!! Isn't that awesome!!!

So you know where I'll be in the next couple of weeks. I hope my back survives the packing!!!!!
HAPPY SUMMER TO YOU!!!!!!
