Just pray about it

Dave and I are really making our current dream of getting out of Alice and into New Braunfels a reality. We found a house and we are under contract! It seriously fell in our lap and I promise it was all God's doing. 

I had 6 houses scheduled to look at on a Saturday. Dave was supposed to be working so I had asked my best friend to go with me for a second opinion. The morning I was leaving for San Antonio Dave said he could go with me so I picked him up at the yard and then we grabbed my friend. We met up in New Braunfels for lunch with my parents and a friend of my dad's. Dave & I were first to sit down and we said grace, including asking for help with our house hunt that day. About ten minutes later my dad's friend overheard Dave and I talking about our houses on the list for the day and he then informed us he had his house on the market for sale by owner. It was everything Dave and I were looking for!

After lunch we all drove over to look at it and it WAS everything we had been looking for! We decided to see the other houses on the list but by the end of the day Dave and I knew we had found our home.....the very first one we looked at. 

We are set to close October 20 and fingers crossing nothing screwy happens with our financing we will seen be calling New Braunfels home. 

The pictures are a little wonky... they were from when it was listed with a real estate agent that we found on the internet. 

The countdown has begun and I am all ready training my replacement at work. I am super excited about having our own home and being able to get back into selling real estate full time.

All the men in our lives are Virgos + CA Photo Dump

OK so I googled what exactly it says about Virgos and this was what I got for the most part. 

Virgo in a Nutshell:

Virgo exists in the mind, everything is inside. To the world, Virgo presents a calm and collected exterior but on the inside, nervous uncontrolled intensity in the mind, trying to figure things out, how to improve everything, analyzing and thinking. Virgo can tire itself out without even moving! Virgo has a constant drive to improve and perfect, this can lead to extreme pickiness and finickiest. They are pure, their motives are honest never malicious and they want to accomplish something. 

What it's like to be with a Virgo Man:

The Virgo man has a cool exterior with a sensitive interior. He has tremendous respect for a woman and will treat her like and equal. He likes woman who stir his emotions because he is reluctant to express his own emotions, which he tries and this often causes conflict not just inside himself, but it spills out into the relationship. This man takes patience and understanding. He will not get extremely close so do not try to enter his psyche and become closely entangled, this will make him feel threatened. He needs a classy woman who is not impulsive or unconventional. He leads a predictable life and a predictable woman will make him feel safe. He is perfect for the down to earth, conventional woman. He won't be romantic and sweep you off your feet, but he will be by your side and be very loyal. This man's sensuality comes out with time. For the woman who wants a stable, solid relationship with a visible, smooth sailing future is perfect for the Virgo man.

The point of all of this is Dave, Drew and my dad all have birthdays close together which was the point for the California trip however, Dave was working as usual. But I was still able to go and spend the extended weekend with my family which was great!

Josie took this picture...can't you tell?

Why not stop by a local brewery while waiting on Dad to arrive?

Waiting for the commuter train, Nixon and mom found a friend.
