In February, Ryan started to freelance for Facebook, which led to a chance to freelance at Vans. Both jobs were on the West Coast which meant we really didn't have a reason to be in Texas anymore. So the kids finished school, we put our house on the market, went to California and then came back to pack up when it sold. This was our second house that we owned and my favorite. When Ryan and I left after loading everything up, I cried so much. I think I cried mostly because I was going to miss our life outside of California. I cried because I knew the life we had here could not be replicated in the golden state. We could walk to the school, the kids had friends that they could walk to their houses, it was our own little space that we had made and I didn't know what was going to happen in California. I also grew up thinking that California was where it was at and then I lived in a lot of beautiful places and that made me not so sold on that idea anymore.
Anyway, I cried the hard kind of cry. I'm sure Ryan thought I was crazy. Here are some screen shots of our listing and my favorite things about that home in Round Rock.
The front yard with it's Live Oaks.
That front door, it's like they painted it orange just for me.
The exposed brick by the front door and the fact that we had two living rooms.
The dining area and the huge windows, where I would see the coolest birds.
The huge front room window. When the sun would shine in, my favorite place to sit would be the corner of the couch.
I would sit and soak up the rays and the beautiful view.
The big backyard that we didn't know what to do with.
The deck and those Live Oaks again.
I'm sure there will be other places, and it wasn't perfect (just ask the buyer and their inspection report) but we really couldn't believe we found it. That is all, I just wanted to post about it for my own memory when I'm looking back on the blog.
