Again, can't believe it's been so long again!

We're now in Texas. Sold our home in Jones Creek in only 5 weeks & had to close in 3 weeks. We were in Katy, so by time we got home, we had about two weeks to leave. The day before the last container was packed, Robyn called from Cancun to let us know that the house on the corner and across the street from her was on the market. It was a foreclosure, we put our offer in. The next day she called to tell us that another offer was in and it was going to be the best and final offer - a little bit later she called back and told us we had it.

It was very exciting, until I actually saw the house. It's a lot smaller than our other house and is two stories. We had to gut the house and are constantly finding something new that has to be done. Today it was more black mold, but it's just on the sheet rock and is easy to clean and cut out the sheet rock! The house is going to be stunning when it's finished. The kitchen has custom built cabinets and will be a cook's dream. Our master bedroom has a lovely little bay window area where we plan on putting a couple of easy chairs. We have a custom marble tie shower with a ceiling shower head. Nothing's finished yet, Deb and Ian are in there, but the fumes and dust from construction is too much for me. We should be in by the end of this week. Can't wait. 
We did find termite and termite damage, broken window, mold, broken toilets, one a/c for two floors and it was the wrong size, the list is long. We had to replace all the flooring, repaint every surface and replace all the cabinets. That said, it is totally ours and I can't wait to move in there.

While we were getting the house ready to sell in Johns Creek, our beloved puppy, Sadie suddenly passed away. She will never be replaced, but our two new puppies, part lab like Sadie are adding to our lives. They are five months old and litter mates, little sisters - Chili and Pepper. They are great escape artists!
I think I'll be getting a custom built sewing table/cabinet. My sewing room will be in what was the living room. Debby has taken the 4th bedroom adjoining her bedroom to be used as her potters studio. Her kiln will be in the garage. Ian has his own bedroom, bathroom and loft/tv game room. And Bob has a brand new Yamaha golf cart to ride to the golf course, our subdivision's entrance is a half a block or so from our house, and to go back and forth to Robyn's when he doesn't want to walk!!!
Will fill you all on more later.
