We bought a house today. Wow. I can still hardly believe it. We found the house less than 24 hours after arriving in Austin, put an offer on it three days later, and then had a 15 day escrow. Did I say "wow" already? We tend to make quick decisions about houses. We came knowing exactly what we wanted, the market is good, interest rates are low, and we love the house, so what more could we ask for?
Anyway, I am so happy to end are nearly 3 week stay at the Marriott TownePlace Suites and have our stuff back tomorrow! I didn't take any pictures this evening when we picked up the keys for the house, so for now the artist's rendition is all I have to show. I will put up pictures in a week or so, because sadly the internet could not be scheduled as fast as our escrow went!
In other news I am 14 weeks pregnant today, which means I am one week into the second trimester. Sadly, morning sickness has not faded away yet, but I am cooking a little more. Also, Lila decided she likes to swim (after the first 10 days we were here she refused to try the pool), which has made the long days at the hotel feel a little shorter. Lila also has made a habit of asking me to sing her to sleep at bedtime. I have awaited this day since she was born! Many of you know I studied voice before transferring to BYU and it's always been a dream of mine to sing sweet lullabies to my babies. Alas, when she was a baby my singing to her did nothing to soothe her (she much preferred the sound of the vacuum!). It makes me so happy to sing to her every night :o)
Wish us luck with the unloading of the truck tomorrow and getting settled!
