Looks Like the Play Neighborhood Will Become Our Real Neighborhood

I can't believe it!  This summer if all goes well I will become a Cinco Ranch Lady!  When I played tennis we used that term in a sarcastic way...at least I won't be playing tennis in Cinco Ranch.  I am still sitting here several hours later blown away that we actually committed to build and live in Cinco Ranch.  The great benefit is being close to my partner in crime, Peggy.  We are just a few minutes West of the Bain Compound.  Guess we will be the Royal Ranchette.

 Our 99.9% sure, our lot

 Our 99.9% lot

We were almost 9 for 9 today.  Last Sunday we saw the home and the lot we liked but you know we needed to pray and think this thing through.  I went back on Tuesday and looked at the model home again.  Today Roy and I met with the salesman and talked through details, then took a little tour to see our choices of facades and we had just come back, and the sales guy is putting the information into the computer.  He tells his associate that the corner lot is off the market and the man replies, oh this couple wants the same lot.  Since our guy had already logged in and was doing the paperwork, we had first right.  30 seconds...of being 9 for 9.  I no more thought we would act on anything today so I didn't even bring the check book.  So we rushed home in 5 o'clock traffic, got the check book and got back to Katy right before 6.  Thank you Lord for the HOV and EZ Tag lanes.  I let Roy out and went to park the car but I noticed our salesman had met Roy, without any of the paper work that we had initialled and signed.  Seems there was a little problem.  On the lot next to ours a Madrid style home was being built but the couple buying that lot had wanted to install a pool and because of easement issues, pools can't be built on the four lots to the front of the subdivision.  On Thursday the original lot they wanted but had been sold came open again.  So we are about 99.9% sure they will move to the other lot and then we can have the corner near the green space.  So if you feel so led and I hope you do, please pray that all this settles into place.  We have a second option of a corner lot but it isn't really the one we want.  God is so good for so many reasons but as we were trying to introduce Christ into the conversation, we found out our salesman is a Christian and goes to a sister Baptist Church in Katy and it isn't Second West. 

After everything that had happened, we were too tired to go sit in a restaurant and eat, so we celebrated with some ice cream and then returned home to eat dinner. 

So now the process begins...we are so excited!
