Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! A house, I mean.
Beginning late February (assuming we've completed all the remodeling we're planning... :/) David and I will reside in a lovely 3-bed 2-bath in peaceful Highland Village. A hop skip and jump from church and some very dear friends of ours.
Remodeling plans so far? Re-texturing ceilings and walls. Ripping up and replacing carpet. Staining some cement (eek!). Knocking out some walls... ya know. The easy stuff. I'll post some "before" pictures after we close and it's all official.
In other news, we're planning a trip down to Guatemala with the Walkers to meet their sweet sweet girl, Selena. Some of you may not know that I have super-cool friends who are trying to adopt a sweet little girl with CP. Only problem is: she doesn't live in America. So we'll spending our "Spring Break" (ha!) traipsing about the cities of South America and getting to know our hopefully future... well... friends' kid. David and I applied for our passports this week -- hope they get here in time.
And - I guess that's about it for now. :)

So glad you guys found a house! Living in Highland Village is great...you'll love it :) Welcome, neighbor!
Thanks Lauren - you're so sweet! We're really excited. A little freaked out -- but super excited. :)
So exciting!! We had stained concrete in our first home and LOVED IT!! I'll send you pictures if you'd like. We ACTUALLY did it all by ourselves. But, we did it in the building stages of the house. I miss that sweet home in Grapevine. Peter built, we moved in and sold it in 6 months after only being on the market for 24 hours. It was the most emotional thing I've ever done! So, now we'll live down the street from you guys..sort of. :) Still off of 407! Good luck and let us know if you need help with the stained concrete!
You two are going to be busy working on that house! We are so happy for you guys! :)
