BIG changes are happening for the Schmitt Family. Brian got a promotion at work which requires up to relocate to Houston, TX. This brought mixed emotions for us all, but we are super excited for the move and of course the promotion!!! This January would have marked 10 years since I moved to Texas and Austin. I absolutely love it in Austin and pictured us raising our kids here. I have spent the last 2 years dreaming about where we were going to buy our next home and where our kids were going to go to school. So the idea of picking up and starting all over in an unfamiliar town brought about anxieties but excitement at the same time.
We found out about the promotion the first week of June and the following weekend we were in Houston looking for a home. We were a bit anxious about our house hunting trip since we would have both kids in tow for a jam packed weekend, in and out of a hot car and homes, in 100+ degree heat. It could not have gone any better! It was such a blessing. We saw 13 houses the first day and were absolutely exhausted!!! We had narrowed it down to 2 homes by the end of the day - one I loved and one Brian loved. The next day we toured both homes again and ended up signing a contract on the one Brian loved in Katy, TX, a western suburb of Houston. I ended up loving it too. It was just perfect for our family. Less then 7 days after learning of this big life change, we were under contract on a new home - something we had both been waiting for for almost 2 years!!!
The next few weeks were super busy. We purchased a brand new home and the builder was wanting to close by June 30th to allow for the sale to hit the books by the end of the quarter. Although extremely hectic, the process could not have gone smoother. It was certainly a sign this was all in God's plan. We closed on our new home on June 30th and planned our moving day for July 15th.
