House Closing and Baylor Homecoming


This past weekend was very eventful! Jonathan and I closed on our very first home together after a long process of house searching with many speed bumps along the way. I have to say though, it was all worth it! We learned so much about the home buying process and a lot about ourselves. We work well together at making decisions and didn't let each other settle in the end. We absolutely love the home we bought. It is a 4 story condo in the heart of downtown Houston. It is right between The Heights and Midtown, both very young, urban, popular areas to live in. Ours is the third one from the left. The first level has a garage and coat closet, the second has a main living/dining area with a beautiful modern kitchen and half bath, the third level is the master bedroom and guest room each with a full bath, and then there is a fun fourth level with a wet bar and huge rooftop deck that is all ours with a sweeping view of Downtown Houston! 


Here we are the closing that only took about an hour. I didn't think that all the signing was that intimidating actually. It was so fun! Then here are just a couple of pictures of us in our new home for the first time. 



After we closed and went over to the condo, we ate lunch at the Freebird's Burrito that is walking distance from our home (I'm beyond thrilled!!), and then Jonathan went to work like a good husband should, and I promptly went and bought a new stainless steel refrigerator and a washer and dryer like a good wife should. :) We are really adults now I suppose. 

Jonathan and his parents took all of his things over there Sunday afternoon, and he will start living there this week I think. Next week I will go and get as much set up as I can before the wedding. What a blessing it is to be able to have this home. Thank you Lord for the way you work things out for those that trust You!! 

The rest of the weekend we spent at Baylor Homecoming! It was a refreshing time to see Baylor friends and be back on campus with the most beautiful weather we could possibly ask for! Here are a few pictures of the weekend.
