House Hunting

Since before we even found out we were moving we had decided that we wanted to buy a house. When we found out that we got Bliss we immediately started looking. We had a few requirements that we did not want to budge on: 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage and a pretty awesome kitchen (since I spend the majority of my time in there). We decided instead of searching ourselves that we would go through USAA to assign us a realtor. So far she has been awesome, she created a private website for us with listings that meet our requirements and price range. 

There is one house that keeps sticking in my mind:

How gorgeous is this house!?!??!

It is everything we want! The best part is it's brand new. It has tile in the kitchen, entry way, dining rooms and bathrooms with carpet throughout the rest of the house which I love! I know it's early but this is the perfect example of the type of house we are looking for. We are planning a trip to El Paso in 2 weeks (since we only live 5 hours from there) to check out the area and really get a feel for everything. If we like what we see on the outside/neighborhood we will definitely be contacting our realtor to look at it. I am ready to be able to do what we want in a house without worrying if it's ok or not. 

Of course if all else fails we are not opposed to living on post again (if they would contact me back, ugh! I hate waiting on people). I am just keeping my fingers crossed that all of this works out.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!


* I also wanted to give a quick update on our sweet Emma. Since she has been on the antibiotics and anti-inflammatories she has been doing great. Kyle said she is back to her spunky self and the swelling has completely gone down. She is still scheduled for surgery on the 25th to remove the tooth and get a thorough dental cleaning. I can't wait to see her on the 19th when she and Kyle make the road trip to Vegas.
