“Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours...”

Thank you, Stevie Wonder, for the segue...

Signed- We literally signed our name about sixty times to seal the deal. And I was wishing I had a signature stamp since I had a wiggly toddler in my lap!

Sealed- There is no going back now. As long as we make our payments on time each month, this is where we will be bringing our future babies home in Houston!

Delivered-Our furniture doesn’t arrive until Monday, so we’ve been camping out on the floor of our new casa...

The thing that attracted us to this particular house the most was the apparent pride the owners had in every hook, hinge, hallway, and cranny. It is older than me, but it feels brand new because of it's pristine condition. I truly believe you can tell the moment you walk in a home if there is a positive spirit about a space, and thanks to the great people who lived here before us... the good vibrations are off the charts, Beach Boys worthy:)

I’ve said before that I feel like the wife and I have kindred hearts. She is one of the most creative and kind people I have met and I am hoping now that I'm sleeping under her old roof, her fairy dust will rub off on me:)

Yesterday when we walked in the house for the first time there were notes in several places along with house warming gifts.

She knew I am an aspiring artist so she left me everything I need to paint my first piece for our new pad! I am excited to get started.

This bright red vintage umbrella came with a bag filled with emergency essentials.

Hopefully, we won't have to use these anytime soon though:)

I can't wait to wear this pretty apron in our new kitchen. Every time I cook in it I will think of their kindness.

It is so nice not to worry about unpacking all our stuff immediately. We've really been able to enjoy the bare bones (no pun intended:) of the house. We just walk from room to room dreaming about our new life. As you can see James enjoyed a few minutes of naked time outside. Since we are finally at a place where neighbors can't see.

It's a slumber party. We still have the condo in the city for another week, but we were too excited so we camped. Fact: Sleeping on the floor makes my back feel like I am eighty.

Rise and shine it's morning time. I decided I am going to like waking up to the sight of the lone star each day:)

As long as it is with these two handsome guys:)

This last shot is for my sister, Heather. When she was here she asked why it sounds like there are rattlesnakes in the trees. The sound comes from cicada bugs. My friend told me they shed their shells and their old skin will stick on your clothes like a broach. This probably won't become a fashion trend anytime soon, but I was still fascinated by my temporary accessory:)

I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, peaceful Sunday. Now a home video for the faraway fam:)...
