A few weeks before Match Day I started looking for a new house. Some might think that was tempting fate but I believe that what done is done, and I am such a planner that I wanted to get a head start. Plus I am picky and I knew it would take a while to find a new house. Heath and I loved our Dallas house but we needed something bigger. Sawyer comes with alot of stuff. Plus Heath works in Fort Worth and that is quite a drive everyday. Once I start residency in July we will need some help with Sawyer and Heath's parents live in Mansfield. So Mansfield seemed to be the perfect solution to all of the above. It is a midpoint, there are biggerfi houses and meme and pop pop could help look after Sawyer.So we called on Casebolt to show us some houses --he didn't know he would be taking on the entire Coffman family as clients. I once heard that the average home buyer looks at 8-9 homes before finding the one. Well I must not be average because I bet I looked at about 50-60. I know it sounds crazy but I had certain things that had to be in the home. It had to have a study or enough room that one could be a study. It needed a big laundry room, linen closests and storage, an open layout, and a nice backyard for Sawyer.Some of the things Dawn and I saw were just crazy. I saw a hallway closet in a bathroom. I saw a living room with at least 100 precious moment dolls. There was one house that had so much trash in it that you could barely walk through it. In some foreclosures people stole mirrors, doors, light fixtures --you name it. So it was an adventure but we finally found a house we loved!
But then I had to pack something I hate! I will never move again with such a small baby. I had to work like crazy while he was napping and then try to keep him entertained while I did a few boxes. I did most of the packing while Heath was working on a big case. But we got all done --Sawyer even had fun with the boxes.
