We are moving to Frisco on May 1!!!! Woah! So fast!

We've been scouring the internet channels for rentals we'd be interested in, and realized the best location and best options were around Frisco. So we decided to narrow our focus to that area, and finally were able to view a property. Rentals go so fast in that area (we were scheduled to view other properties but before we could get out there, they had leased). The only reason we were able to look at this one was because by some chance miracle, the three applications they hand pending (you read that right, three applications were submitted) were rejected for some reason or other.

Because of how fast these properties go, we knew we had to move on this house as soon as we fell in love with it. That's why we're moving way earlier than planned and have to crack down on our budget for two months to pay for rent on two places at once. But it'll be worth it.

This house has four bedrooms! One for us, one for baby, one for my office, and a designated guest room for any/all company expected to help when the baby gets here - namely, our wonderful mothers. :) Two bathrooms are perfect since little one won't need his/her own until much later, so he/she can share with guests and me during the work day. THREE CAR GARAGE is probably our favorite part. We can have space to store things, Phillip can work on his endless projects, and we can just enjoy the extra space. It's rare to have a rental house with that large of a garage, but we'll take it! The house has a slightly larger kitchen than ours now, about the same sized living area, slightly smaller master bathroom (but still with the garden tub, large closet, separate shower, and double vanities), and Phillip gets his own living area for his sports room/man cave. Definitely necessary. Trust me.

The only real downside to our new house is a significantly smaller backyard. It's still a decent size for Murphy, but it'll be a change for us. We've gotten used to our nice sized back yard we have now. But unfortunately, with that wonderful three car garage located on the backside of the house, it cuts into the lot and minimizes the yard space. It'll be nicer to mow for Phillip, but Murphy will have to adjust a bit.

Speaking of Murphy, we will be sending him off to a ten day board and train program right as we move. We are confident this will help his behavioral issues and awful social skills. Perhaps a smaller yard will actually help with training? It's a thought... It'll be nice to have him boarded for a solid ten days while we move and get settled. Plus, we'll have a new home for our brand new dog to come home to!

So exciting! Time to get packing!

P.S. And update on Phillip's car. It is barely not totaled so they are currently fixing it. It'll take about two more weeks and we have a rental car. Still dealing with insurance on the medical side, but we're getting through it.
