Our New Home

I could not be happier with our new home. I love the house I am renting and the neighborhood is almost too good to be true. We have already met four different neighbors, been invited for bike rides, play dates, dinners, fourth of July neighborhood parties, and monthly dinner outings. You walk down the streets and there are kids playing in yards, people walking dogs, neighbors gardening...it is exactly the sense of family friendly community that I longed for in South Carolina. I have only high hopes for this place.

Below are few pics of the house and the street. They were actually taken this winter ( I rented this place sight unseen...these are the pics Tasha and Matt emailed to me)


The house was built in the 1930s and was slightly renovated and updated a few years ago. The floor plan is a bit unique, but it is very spacious and my furniture fits great. Below is half of the living room.
Since we lost a bedroom in this move, J now has a combined bedroom and playroom. Luckily the room is plenty large enough to fit all of his stuff. I didn't take a pic of my room, because it is kind of sad compared to J's colorful space...more soon though.
The dining room leads into a very large kitchen. Through the french doors one arrives in a sun room that then leads to the a great backyard. The deck out back is the largest I have seen...with built in benches around the edges....more on that when I get some better light.

More pics later...hope to have regular internet access by the end of the week.

We went on vacation, just to Oklahoma, I was surprised at the different attitude in the people there. I love the people in Texas! Glad you have some nice neighbors - that will make it easier!
