It's Official!!!

It's now official Ben and I are purchasing our first home in Arlington TX. We are now under contract, have full loan approval and are set to close on our very first home of our OWN October 14th! 

We LOVE the house and are SO excited about this next step. I am so excited about actually having a home of our own and never ever ever moving again! Or at least not for a few years! I am tired of moving! So once more...

So about our house, it is 3 bedroom/ 2 bath SINGLE story (hallelujah!) That's a side story in itself, I really used to think I wanted a two story house but after living here....NO with small children one story is the way to go! It has a nice square backyard with room for some toys for aiden (no sloping hill!) and it is within walking distance to where I grew up. It's kind of funny cause I quite literally feel like I'm going home again and I'm SO excited. I know this little square of arlington better than any other area in any other city so after the 2 years of constantly being lost in Orlando, living with mamaw out there on the other side of the world...and living here and trying to figure out what's around me all the time. I am THRILLED to be going back to the familiar! PLUS arlington is quite literally the MIDDLE of the metroplex. Meaning closer to my parents, same distance from mamaw and ben's dad and could probably walk or at least ride a bike to Kimberly's. Easy access to dallas, easy access to fort worth. Much closer to our church, much closer to aiden's school. So excited!

 So now for what you really care about....PICTURES! Keep in mind, everything in these pictures belongs to the seller. They have the place decorated really cute but we don't get their stuff! Just the house!

SO if you live in the metroplex let me know if you want to help us move once more! We close on the 14th but we won't be in a HUGE hurry to move so probably that weekend and the days following. It's gonna be a busy month around here!

I am so happy for you. Arlington is great. I know exactly how how convenient Arlington is from everything.

There is literally no place that you can't get to in 30 minutes.

Can't wait to have you closer.

Congratulations!
