Welcome to Prosper, Texas!
Well we did it! After months of internet shopping and one quick weekend in the North Dallas area house hunting we have found our new home! Emphasis on the NEW. As you can see there is no grass, blinds, or landscaping yet. We caught it just in time to put in updates (stainless steel appliances_ check, granite counter tops_ check, drop down sink_check, pullout faucet_ check, blinds installed_ check).
Well let me tell you...I have to start way back a few years ago when we were just dating and went to Petco. I had been trying to get Lance to get a black kitten and name it Shiloh. I talked about it all the time. One day we went to Petco and what do ya know! BAM a black cat named Shiloh was up for adoption. He did not adopt her but that's not important ;)
A few years later we are car shopping for Lance a new truck. If you know me you know I am impatient as all get out and I am super picky. Two things that make finding things nearly impossible. After a full day of no luck we are on our way to one more car lot in Moore, OK and Lance says okay so what would your idea of a perfect truck be..."Well off white say cream color, I'd like a truck bed cover, tan leather interior, all the works, heated seats, etc." We drive into the lot and BAM! There is my truck. I mean can you say weird?! So now it actually is our truck.
When Brynlee was born I was in love with the new Norman Healthplex. She was the only baby born on that Sunday and it was quiet, clean, and we got a ton of attention. I told Lance that we needed to go back and stay again when I wasn't in any pain because it was so nice. This time getting my wish was not so great...BAM! Bryn was put under 48 hour surveillance because of a fever. All was well.
A few weeks ago my Dad and I went to an OU game. We sat next to 2 rather tipsy older men. One turned to me and said "you look like someone that can make things happen, can you give us a touchdown" I said actually you have no idea- I CAN! And BAM I did, touchdown that play. ;)
Well now on to our house hunt. I wanted the master down stairs with another full bedroom and bath for a nursery, and then at least 2 beds up stairs with a game room. I wanted a huge kitchen with granite and covered patio and vaulted ceilings. Lol. So Lance was getting pretty frustrated with me. But I will tell you that while shopping with our realtor she would show me homes she called me savvy. :D I guess she didn't expect us to really know what we wanted and pros and cons of buying a home.
So finally on Friday at the end of our 9th showing she takes us to new construction. I nearly jumped on Lance because I was so in love with this house. It has 5 bedrooms! Master down and one other down with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms up with bath, a game room, and what they call a media room (has no closet) but we will make it a playroom. He looked panicked like a deer in head lights. I tried to compose myself and put my game face on.
The neighborhood is located in Prosper, TX. We are literally across the street from Aubrey, TX and just north and a little west of Frisco and McKinney. The area is not as taken over yet and so on the way out you pass farm land and we have a horse farm in our backyard. Literally horses sniffing our fence. I thought Lance (Mr. Farmboy) woulda wet his pants with excitement. NOPE. Everything I thought he'd love he was worried about. It's too far from work (10 miles), it's in the middle of nowhere, there are horses in our backyard! Lol I looked at him like WHA?! You don't like it!? I made this house and now you are complaining! After we left and went home so I could calm is butt down and convince him this was it he started to agree. Well it may have been those shots I started making him take every time he said something negative about the new house. :)
We went back Saturday to bring Bryn and Nana to see the house. Well... if the realtor and sales rep thought I was bad they were probably taken a back by Nana's questions. We finally struck up an agreement and they accepted our offer and all our upgrades. This is all contingent on our buyers following through on closing day. We close on our house Dec. 11 and we will be closing in Prosper on Dec. 12. We could not be more excited.

After all this house hunting and my 4th creation Lance asked me to create him a boat. :-/ I told him my powers need to recharge then we can talk.
