Officially Homeless

It is with pleasure that we announce we are officially homeless!  Yesterday the buyers and our relocation company closed on our house.  It only took twelve days on the market before we got an offer which was also just a week before we moved out.  Everything happened so fast but we are very thankful it is over.

When we moved out in August we knew we would never live in that house again so we said our goodbyes and haven't looked back.  It is nice to know that we no longer have to worry about maintenance, utilities, insurance, and everything else that goes with owning that house from half a world away.

It was bittersweet walking away from the house on Misty Leaf Lane as it was our very first home.  We thought we would be in Houston for at least five years so we intended to grow into it.  We enjoyed living in Summerwood for two years and made a lot of great friends and great memories. We are happy to be on this great adventure in Singapore but will never forget how much we loved that house.

Purchased!  It was just an empty lot at the time.
Closing Day.  Ready to move in.
We chose this home because we loved how open it was.
Loved how big the master was and how it was downstairs.
Master bath.  Not pictured - amazing walk-in closet
The only almost finished room in the house.  We decorated
but needed to update the furniture.
This room is why Derek and I will NEVER paint a room red
or a room with rounded corners ever again.  It took over
seven coats of paint and it still wasn't even so we gave up.
We also had to hand paint the lines at the rounded corners.
Terrible experience.
Maddie's favorite part of the house.  She misses her yard.
So long Misty Leaf!
