Headed back to Evansville

Well, it's been a whirlwind trip in DFW area or the metroplex as it's commonly referred to here in Texas.  We have spent most of the week looking at houses although we did get to go to a Rangers game one evening. On a side note, the "All-You-Can-Eat-Seats" are not all they're cracked up to be. The food was terrible (bottom of the barrel fare) and on top of that the game was bad. We left at the 7th inning and the Rangers lost 21-8. Our first game was less than memorable. Luckily there will be more to come.  We also got to experience the Studio Movie Grill where you get to go to the movies and order dinner too.  We saw Snow White and the Huntsman, which wasn't bad and the food was pretty good too.

So, back to the houses. We looked at, at least 17 houses and ultimately chose one in the Mansfield area, which has the best school districts currently in the metroplex. We made an offer yesterday and hope to hear something soon. The house doesn't have a pool, but the subdivision is small and has a community pool/playground area that is really nice. It's like having your own pool, but not having to deal with the upkeep.    The home is 4 bedroom and 2 bath with a nice sized fenced in backyard (which is hard to find). It's a little over 2200 square feet and with plenty of room for guests!!! It's also a straight shot to the University, making it easy for David to get to and from work. Traffic is not fun so it's good that it will be easy for him to get from one place to the other.

Our house was shown to the same family twice while we've been away. Right now our house in Newburgh is in the top two choices for one family. They are still trying to decide which house they like better, ours or another one in the area. Hopefully, they will choose ours!

Amanda is headed back to Evansville this afternoon. It's great that our little Evansville airport has two direct flights each day from Dallas. David's first day of work is Monday, which happens to be an orientation day. Please keep him in your prayers as he starts this new job and is on his own for a few months before Amanda moves down at the end of July.

We'll keep you updated on the housing situation...
David & Amanda
