I had been waiting to post an update until I had all the pictures from our Reed family reunion downloaded, but I'm still waiting on Scott to do that for me (he'd rather do the ones from his camera - probably so I won't mess it up). It rained most of the time we were there (thank goodness for the pavilion) so we weren't able to play volleyball or anything. The guys still managed to throw the football around while the little ones decided to get drenched in the rain. My cousin that I hadn't seen in at least 6 years was there - we had been best friends when we were little and it was so good to see her again! And we finally got to meet her kids! We had the entire side of our family there - aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and all. It was so great to have everyone together again.
Now for the big news. As I had posted before, Scott and I have been house hunting since September 27th with the idea that we would figure out exactly what we wanted and then buy a house after the first of the year. Well, October 10th, after looking at quite a few houses with our Realtor, we found a new neighborhood that is still building and happens to have exactly what we want and need in our price range. After looking at the different homes they have we went home and thought about what we wanted to do. One week later we signed a contract to start construction on our house!! We made an offer on the house with upgrades and it was approved Sunday! We bought a house!! Scott and I will be in our home by March! It all happened so fast, it's still hard to believe. Our home will be in McKinney at Virginia and Custer. It is a perfect little one story with 3 bedrooms, study, dining, family room, breakfast area, and, of course, a big kitchen! They will break ground next month and pictures will be posted as we have progress. We are so unbelievably excited!
