House Pictures

Here it is folks!  La Casa De Hardison.  It's taking me forever to get around to putting these up.  I think I was trying not to jinx it, since we had such a hard time actually selecting/putting in offers on the THREE other houses we liked before this one :)  Apparently, the real estate market isn't hurting in Houston as much as it is other places.  Nonetheless, unless the rapture really does come between now and Friday..barring any life changing event, we will officially close on our home and become "real world" adults.  Exciting, huh!?

9 more work days until my last day of work.  13 more days until Hardison Family Vaca in Santa Rosa, FL and roughly 32 days until the big move. 

Real Hardwoods!

Office right off the entryway. 

Something I can get behind!  More counter space and a gas stove!

Double sinks!  And there's a soaking tub.. not pictured.  Awesome. 

Guest Bedroom #1.  Otherwise known as Ashley's room. 

Guest Bedroom #2.  Currently a nursery, obviously. 

Fenced in backyard for sweet Lexi!

Steps away from the playground, community tennis courts, park, and pool!

We're incredibly excited... I'm also incredibly nervous about this whole transition into home-ownership.  What's more debt, right?!  We can't wait to get there, get settled, and see the place with our own furniture/and finishing touches.

I'm pretty sure I will cry the whole way out of the state of Alabama.  B-ham, I hated you so much when I first arrived.  I couldn't wait to the heck out of here.  But, now that the time has finally come, I can't imagine what life is going to be like outside the Magic City.  We've been SO blessed with a great church home, awesome jobs, and lifelong/forever friends.  God definitely placed incredible people in our lives here, and we hate so much to leave.  But we know that through this move to Houston, God is going to guide us to a new church home, with new friends (not to surpass the old!), new jobs, and new opportunities.  We're just along for the ride!

And in case you were wondering.  Door to Door.. 807 miles from our new home to my parents' house.  Can't think about it too much, or I might start the water works early :)
