It's been full of house hunting, house inspecting, buying, traveling, swimming, jet skiing, 2nd degree burns on my leg, packing, moving, BUYING a home, unpacking, and finally getting settled in our new place!!
After almost 4 months of living apart, and the stress of buying a home we were both VERY ready to be settled...and settled together!
God revealed our dream home just days after we cancelled the contract on the first house. This house had everything we could have ever wanted in our first home AND it had more acreage AND a paved driveway!
This 2nd house was not a cake walk either. The first appraisal came back almost 50k lower than the agreed sales price. Normally that's good for the buyer, BUT you can't find any house for that price amount in this area. So, after enough bargaining from our mortgage guy he was able to get us a 2nd appraisal---this one was just right.
Closing on the home was surreal. It went by so fast and handing over that cashier's check for our down payment was something I'll never forget. T and I had been saving for years and it finally paid off...literally!
The house is in Boerne which is about 20 minutes NW of San Antonio. We are in a great subdivision that has private access to the Guadalupe River. So, come on down and visit us!!
Here are some pics of the place.
* please note these are the pics the sellers took* I'll post pics of our stuff soon!

That's all I have for now, but I promise to post more soon!
The dogs and horses seem to be adjusting well and we are learning the Boerne area. I LOVE shopping at HEB again. Feels like home.
If you made it through this long post, you deserve a treat----or a free stay at Casa de Riley!
