Spring break was so fast!!! Chris, Carter, and I decided to go to Austin during spring break. We left Saturday and came back Tuesday afternoon. We were able to see Karen and Bryan's new place (Chris' parents). We came to see his family and to look at homes.
Chris and I have decided to move to Austin. I think it is the best place for us, we'll be near family and it's gorgeous. It will great to get out more, we are seriously home bodies. There is just so much to do outdoors, great for kids!! We are looking at different areas, but we really would like to be in Lake Travis ISD. We found an amazing builder out in Spicewood which is in the school district we like. The view is amazing, you don't feel like your in Texas. All of the homes back up to a green belt and are zoned to stay that way. The view is all greenery and canyons, you definitely don't get this in Dallas.
We are going to put our house up for sale in August. Houses are selling pretty quickly in our neighbor hood, we are praying that ours will be the same way. We are going to rent a home in Austin till we decided were we would like to move and have time to build. This is going to be great to rent because we won't be in a hurry to sell and move, not to mention settle for something because we have to move. I am a little apprehensive to rent. We haven't rented in a while and I hate that it's not my house, so I'm not sure I'll be comfortable. I really hope we won't have to rent for too long.
I'm a little nervous, I've lived in the DFW my whole life (besides going to Texas Tech, but I was able to come home whenever). Also, I don't have my own friends there, Chris has the friends he grew up with, which is fine. I just want my own friends and I'm really sad to leave my friends. I don't see my friends as much as I did before the baby, but I won't be able to just call them up and meet for lunch. I will not be working while I am there so I'm not sure were I will meet people. I know in the end I will meet people and everything will be fine, it's just my initial reaction. I do feel the pros outweigh the cons.
All in all, I can't wait for this new chapter in our families lives. As long as I have them I know it will be a great experience.
