We are moving friends. After months of house hunting, contracts, inspections, and har.com, we have decided to rent-again. We both feel at peace with the way things have turned out. It would have been cool to have had our very own home to bring little Hudson to, but there are so many advantages with not owning a home. Besides the fact that neither of us are sure that we want to settle in Houston long-term, with renting we will not have to deal with a 45 minute commute for Jason, unexpected maintenance costs, and being tied down (obviously our biggest reason). The apartments are brand new-no one has ever lived in ours! Two bedrooms, two baths, hardwood floors, granite counters, amazing work out room for my post-preg. workouts. My sister and her husband moved into some apartments that are much like these in Dallas recently, and she has loved it so far. She said that she thought if you had to rent, you might as well go all out! So, there is not a guest bedroom but we will keep the handy air mattress! Oh, the location is great for us-right by our church and down the road from our good friends the Larkins! Hopefully, this year will give us some good time to evaluate where we see ourselves long-term and will also give Jason time to think about a possible job change. We both agree that we are happy just being together-where ever our home may be.On baby news, I'm still waiting! 39 weeks on Sunday! By the looks of my tummy, he is definitely growing. I am going to the Dr. Tuesday, so hopefully there will be some news. I'll keep you updated. I saw a baby boy today at the mall who had to have been only a couple weeks old. He was so tiny and curled up on his mommy's chest. I almost cried because I cannot wait to meet my baby!
