Stage 4: Super 8 to Dallas, TX

After our west Texas adventure, we completed the last leg of our journey to Dallas.  I have to admit it was a bittersweet arrival in some ways.  I was exhausted and so glad to finally be there, but it made the move so official and it really hit met that we were not in Denver anymore.  After two days of taking a deep breath at the Fuquays, we closed on our new house and got the keys.  We liked the house just as much if not more than we did when we made the offer 7 weeks earlier.  I know it is going to be a wonderful home for our family, and we are excited to get settled in.

Brooks and Kate love the new house.  We had balloons waiting in each of their rooms the first time they came over - they loved it!

Getting to explore the new kitchen - they think every room is the playroom!

We are really happy with our new house.  In many ways, it reminds us of our Denver home - a mid century ranch, about 2500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a view of the backyard from the kitchen.  Unlike Denver, we don't have a basement in Dallas so I think the house feels bigger all on one level.  The yard here is a lot bigger and we have a wonderful deck for entertaining (everyone says it will be a great place to watch football this fall and that we "need" an outdoor tv!)  I love the kitchen in the new house and it has been updated with new appliances and cabinets. It will be fun to have holiday meals here and use the double ovens - what a treat!  We are excited to get to know our new neighborhood too - Lakewood.  We are really close to Lakewood Park with two playgrounds and picnic areas and just a 10 minute walk to White Rock Lake - the place to run and bike in Dallas. 

More pictures of before and after rooms to come - we did a lot of painting and still have many rooms to decorate before the place will feel complete.
