The Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated!

Ok, well maybe not my death. lol Just my moving back to Cali. I'm still here in Texas and I will run into someone and they will ask me if I am here visiting. I just have to chuckle because I have never left. Thought I should explain because I'm asked almost daily did you move yet?  Why not? What are you doing now? etc. lol

Yes, it's true we did try and move back to Cali. We looked online for 6 months and took four trips back to Sonoma County to look at houses. There is just no inventory and we couldn't find a house to meet our needs. It's pretty tough when we both work out of the house. Or, maybe we are just too spoiled with the big beautiful houses in Texas. Maybe, we are indeed Texans now? Maybe God's plan wasn't done with us in Texas?  Though, I really thought it was time to move home. I cried for a month when we realized it just wasn't going to work out. I'm especially heart broken that I can't be close to my mom. That thought still brings tears to my eyes.  I love you Mom!

My Cali Clients are pretty mad at me too. They thought I was coming home. Sorry I jumped the gun telling everyone. I miss you all very much.

And I'm sorry I'm not going to see my favorite sports teams broadcast on TV every week.  We are back to traveling to the local sports bar to watch the SF Giants and 49ers. Go GIANTS and NINERS!

My mom has been asking me to post pictures of our house. Well, here are a few. We custom built this house and it is near and dear to our hearts.

I'm really going to miss my studio space...

...and office!

Our "Zen" Spot. We love to start our day each morning by drinking our tea
in these chairs and enjoying the waterfall, the view, and the birds chirping.

Our "comfy" spot.

I know what you are thinking. Wait, I thought you said you weren't moving so why am I talking about missing my house? Well, in the meantime we got several really good offers on our house so we thought we might as well downsize. The two of us don't really need all that space and yard work.

Our wonderful Broker, Tina Leigh Meeker, found us this great home in Rockwall. She is the best! We have never felt so well taken care of before when listing our home. I'm not exaggerating when I say SHE IS THE BEST! :-)

It's a "Green" house across the street from hiking trails, walkable to downtown and close to the lake.  So excited for this new phase in our life's. A simpler, easier lifestyle.  And, I'm 12 minutes from my BBF Liddie!

Our new home! No all that property isn't ours. Luckily! Remember simpler.

Our new Zen spot.

We close tomorrow. Wish us luck with our move. I'll post pics of our new home when we get settled. Can't wait to share. Yep, we are supposed to stay in Texas. You Texans are some the nicest, sweetest people I know. I love my Texan friends.
