Becca and I just got back from our house hunting trip. We had great weather (high 60s & low 70s), and were amazed at how many trees were in Northeast Houston. Becca even commented that one neighborhood almost made her feel clausterphobic. And this came from Miss New England!

You may have heard that we were going to buy a resale home. We decided after seeing some pet urine stains on the carpet, etc. to build our own house. We found that we could build a brand new house for cheaper than the owners would be willing sell their house to us. So, we are building pretty much the same house one block away from the other house. I think everyone has seen the pictures of the resale house we were going to buy, but here are some more pictures from that house which will be quite similar to the one we are building.

The house will be done in August. Ironically, the road name is Salt River Valley Ln (which is funny since we thought we would be moving to the Phoenix Valley) in Humble, TX (pronounced "Um-bol" because nothing in Texas is humble.)
