Keys and the work begins

WE DID IT!!! WE GOT THE KEYS!!!

Sorry I had to scream that out loud first. Last weekend was crazy with our daughters baton contest, which she brought home 2 trophies and a blue ribbon, and getting ready to head to sign our house papers.

We left Monday and almost didn't make it through to Texas. The Sabine River was at flood stage. It was so sad to see the destruction as we drove down the road. Cars, houses, and the Texas State line rest stop...all under water. Shortly after we crossed, they closed the west bound lane of I10.

We are very lucky to have friends to put us up for the week. With it being Spring Break over here, hotels were way to high to spend the money. Tuesday was a surreal day. I was so nervous, excited, and unsure of the future. Our daughter did so well as we signed papers and waited for funding. While waiting my realtor and our title agent told me now I should become a realtor. I was shocked at the thought! I did find myself daydreaming about it, but I am not sure how I would be successful since I new to the area. You never know though, its about the time for me to start thinking about my forever career. We drove over to the new house and showed our little girl her forever home. She ran through the house and backyard amazed at what we had found. To see her so free was such a heart warming experience.

 

 

 

We have spent the good part of the week repainting the bedrooms, picking out fixtures, and carpet. Our daughter was involved in picking out the color for her room and carpet. When it gets too boring we take her to the park across the street. We have to return back to Gulfport shortly as its time for the hubby to return to the Navy duties, but we will be back shortly to do more work and get this house ready for us to move into the first of June.
