Over apartment living!

Well, we have been here for almost three weeks now and are already over this apartment. Don't get me wrong, this is a great apartment, but it's still an apartment. We have been living out of boxes for five months now. It's hard not knowing where any of your things are! Sunday night I cooked fish and didn't have any of my seasonings or spices so Grant had to go on a hunt in the "box room" and find the spices box. Needless to say, we are ready to be settled in a new home and have all of our things in their permanent place :-)

For the first ten days we were in Texas, we spent a lot of time driving around learning the area and looking at houses. We were already pretty sure of the area where we wanted to live, but after spending hours of driving around looking, we now know.  I called our realtor on Sunday to let her know we were ready to start looking. We met with her last night and saw a few homes. Of course, every house has things that you like and things you don't, but right now we have a house that we both love. We are going again this week to look at other homes, because we don't want to rush into this, especially since we don't have to. I can't begin to tell you how many hours I have spent on Realtor.com, Zillow and Trulia. I have also had some help looking for homes :-)

There are some really beautiful homes here. Homes that we will probably never be able to afford! Here is a video {that I am going to attempt to upload} of a house that we found one night. The whole neighborhood was full of mansions, probably old oil money or something :-) 

 

 But luckily, there are also some beautiful homes that we can {hopefully} afford as well.

Here are two of the homes that we saw:

Anyway, it is fun to house hunt and see lots of houses :-) I will say that the decorating taste here in Texas is, well, pretty terrible!!! Maybe I can bring a Southern flare to Waco??

On another note, I am missing this sweet girl terribly today :-(

She started gymnastics today! I wish I could be there to watch her but so thankful for technology. I love you sweet girl! 

Grant is going up to work today so I am off to try and find something to do to entertain myself. This not working thing is for the birds! I am SO READY to have a job!!! 

Have a good day :-)
