Goodbye Flower Mound...Hello Baytown!!

After the visit from the Carrs we headed to Valera to spend Christmas with the Roddens. We drove back to Flower Mound on Christmas night and continued packing. On Friday several friends came over to pack the U-Haul truck once again and Saturday morning we drove to Baytown through some rough weather. We are finally getting settled at our new house. We are actually about 80% unpacked (this ain't our first rodeo when it comes to unpacking!) but still have plenty to do. Joe's first duty for the church is a Lock-In tonight (New Year's Eve) so we have been running around getting stuff done for that as well. We have included some pictures of the big move...these will be the LAST pictures of U-Hauls, boxes, and other moving-related items!

Joe went on and on about how great this U-Haul was! Only 6,000 miles and practically new...we have been in too many U-Hauls when we can compare them!


Our last night in the Flower Mound townhouse. We are FINISHED with sleeping on a mattress in the living room!!


Our new house!!! Our new address is:

8010 Sugar Cane Drive
Baytown, TX 77523

Come visit and send us mail!! :)


This is the view from the front door. On the left is a formal dining room and to the left is the staircase. As you walk through the hall straight ahead there is a bathroom on the right and the master suite on the left before you enter the living room that is open to the second floor.


Coming in from the garage is a large utility room and then the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen looks into the living room which Lindsay LOVES! We have unpacked the kitchen already but have been amazed that we still have some empty cabinets! That has NEVER happened before!


This view from the second floor shows how open this layout is. You can see the sink in the kitchen on the right next to the breakfast area which all opens to the living room. Joe officially has his first wood-burning fire place. Hopefully that will get some good use!


This is the master bedroom which is downstairs. We knew it was big but didn't realize just how big until we got all of our furniture in it!


The master bathroom is through the bedroom and has a huge closet.


There are two bedrooms upstairs which are great size.


The two bedrooms have a full bathroom in the hallway between them. This is the view from that end of the house looking at a sitting area and on to the game room. This will be ideal for youth from the church coming over to hang out. All of this looks over to the entryway on one side and the living area on the other side.


Needless to say, we are really excited about this place! We got it with the idea that we may be interested in buying later. Baytown is definitely a place that we plan to stay for awhile!

Dang, I had a comment all done on here and then somehow I deleted it. I am jealous of your adorable house! I will say I wish it was a little closer to Ohio! I can't wait to see the final product once it's all unpacked! I miss you a lot and I can't wait til you come back to visit the midwest...the Wellmads miss you!
