Our First House

In May we flew out to Dallas to go house hunting. After 5 days of looking at over 50 houses we signed a contract for a beautiful home in Flower Mound, TX. The house we finally decided on was actually one that we saw on the first day.

Our realtor wasn't planning on showing us this house, but the price had recently been lowered and he thought we might like it. After having woken up at 4am and flown to Dallas 6 months pregnant and seeing 10 other houses that day, I just sort of wanted that day to be over. However, before Morgan and I even walked through the front door we felt something about this house. I know that sounds weird and cliche, but seriously we both looked at each other and said I LOVE this house. After walking in, it just got better. That night Morgan and I both couldn't sleep in fear that in the morning (before we could make an offer) the house would already have multiple other offers. As soon as we woke up we found an email from our realtor saying that they had lowered the price a bit more and assured us it would be under contract within the next couple days. We met up with him a couple hours later and made an offer on the house.

Over the next couple of days we awaited the sellers response on our offer. We decided to still go look at other houses in different cities in case we found something we liked even more. However, nothing could quite compare and to our delight our offer was accepted. We then went through the whirlwind of having the home inspected and making a couple counter-offers. We flew back to CA and signed the final documents to our first home there.

Here is a quick virtual tour of the house that we fell in love with. Although it doesn't quite look the same with our 1 couch and limited furniture we still love the bones and look forward to filling it will love, more furniture and our growing family.
