Pretty much as soon as we got up here, the very next day, the Realtor and I were out and about looking at what felt like hundreds of homes. Robert (Realtor) showed me two listing in a town called The Colony - which from our previous trip, I had come to the conclusion I hated The Colony because it was very old home that were badly flipped and in my thoughts completely over priced. Apparently to my surprise, the area closer to where we wanted to be anyhow is a lot better looking area. The two homes were basically everything we are looking for. So, we submitted offers on both homes and then the waiting game began. I loathe waiting!!!!
That evening we received a response on the first home - which was my top pick - that we were 2nd runner up. Not the news I was hoping for obviously, but I couldn't say I wish I would have never submitted an offer - competitive offer at that. Then Sunday afternoon we received a call from Robert telling us our offer on the other home - Luis top pick was accepted and we could start moving forward. So today is our home inspection.
Apparently I am completely confused how the energy system works here in Texas. I called a local power company, which redirected me to a broker for power who quoted several different power companies. I'm still confused. I explained to Robert, I have never been able to pick and choose who was going to provide me power. Its sooo strange! We shall see what comes of this.
Since I have lost weight, I have not been replenishing my clothing. Which goes easily unnoticed whenever you mostly wear scrubs and pajamas. Now that I am wearing regular clothes every day ... its like oh I wore this yesterday and that the day before. I seriously have 5 shirts, so I'm pretty sure Robert thinks I only wear the same thing everyday. Today after the home inspection Luis and I are going to go shopping and get a few more shirts to add to my collection! I also need to get some tennis shoes that I can jog and work out in. There is a fitness center here at the complex and might as well use it while I have nothing else really to do. There is also a jogging path/pet area. I am going to conduct a study of when there is no dogs out over a few days time and then take Rico out for a walk. If I had a cat stroller for Mango I could take her with us, but she does not do well on a harness/leash. I'm fairly positive Rico thinks he is a small dog.
I still have not received any mail yet. My fantastic friends in Lafayette have been checking my mail and nothing is there and I have nothing here. So I have talked to the admin office of the apartment complex, the PO in Farmers Branch TX and the PO in Lafayette LA. So the only conclusion we have come to is that it might be up to 15 days before receive any mail .... so strange. I have never experienced this in a move - not even an out of state move.
Well we officially no longer own the house on Mirada Lane, as of Monday- we have already received our net benefits - so its seriously official. Its a strange feeling. But not a bad feeling, just strange!!
Sunday I am heading back to Lafayette to be at the office on Monday for the commercial for Dr. Finley. I called all my people yesterday afternoon and confirmed them. I now just have to make the hotel reservations. I was planning on flying originally, but I will have to drive because I have a few things in my other friends house to take back with me to TX. Different things the movers could not back. Mostly cleaning stuff, like soaps and sprays. And all of my welcome mats from the back and the front. Even though its only been like what 2 weeks - ish, I still miss everyone!!
