When will we move? NO IDEA - BUT when the job comes through, we learned 2 very important things.
1. The house size and prices are right for our budget.
2. The areas we wish to live are quiet, and well-kept.
These are the two houses we found.
House 1.
The one big drawback of this house is that the
front of the house faces almost full west. Talk about HOT!
We'd get sun screens or something, but Whew!!
This one also needs some maintenance - paint, shutters
need replacing, and it has some water damage that needs fixing, etc.
House 2.
VERY nice too. I'd be happy with this one
as well.
The best part of this house is that there are only
one or two windows facing west.
This one has a bit of a wonky driveway - will we
have trouble if the neighbors park too close??
Hmmmmm It's in a really nice cul-du-sac though
and won't see too much traffic.

Hi Sue!! Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that "I" live in North Dallas!! I would be happy to guide you in any way towards homes/neighborhoods/shopping and of course, scrapbooking in this area. Just drop me a note anytime!
Tammy
Love the houses!! I am so moving in with you!! I'll need my own bathroom, a very large bedroom, a fully stocked mini-bar...
Take care,
Gracie
LOL Gracie! I agree with you! But I want to see the crop room first! LOL!
Hey!! I need these things FIRST! LOL LOL
A crop room is already in the works (BOY do I need one!!) Cabinets, counters, under-the-counter lighting... all the GOOD stuff! I will get one entire room - no sharing with the 'office' or anything else! WHOOO HOOOO!
Now we are praying hard for DH to get the job so we can finally settle down. Please pray for us!!! :) :) :)

I figure we can kick Susan & Manuel out of their bedroom & into the den to sleep if there aren't enough rooms to have a craft room. Who cares if it's their house? I have needs here!!
--Gracie, aka the leech crafter
P.S. Sue, I'll pray for you I promise!!
You are definitely in my prayers Sue!
Thanks for the prayers, Tammy, and Gracie....
and, Gracie... if you promise to behave, I MIGHT invite you over! tee hee.
Bennie is checking the job postings every day - so we are just hoping things will fall into place.
So DH and I have looked more into House #1... and decided that it has WAY too many windows!
1. Where am I going to put all my wall decorations?
2. HOW are we ever going to pay the A/C bill?
So we've gone off that house, and are looking at another one (we didn't get pics of) that has quickly become our favorite.... AND it has a perfect scraproom space!
