So long 78726

Alright so the time has come for us to move on, and by moving on I mean leaving the apartment complex, the smoky neighbors, hiking the groceries to the third floor, hearing one of our neighbors fight, and sadly yes, the sandbox. However this means on to bigger and better things, like A YARD!!!!!


So ladies and gentlemen may I introduce a little glimpse into the new Barlow residence...





All the papers are in process and we have our close date and time, so I guess it is now official. We move the first week of June so if you want to see more then I suppose that you will need to wait just a little bit longer. We will miss 78726 and our friends and ward, but don't cry yet we still have a few more weeks to savor the apartment life.

I forgot to mention that it is just a mere 15 minutes away from our current location but it is however in a different town and stake. We will be residents of Round Rock now, but thanks to the toll roads we are still close enough to all the things that we know and love. Also we are right by the IKEA and the outlet malls, who could ask for more than that, besides our bank account.

Wow!! I had no idea. And it looks so cute!! Where are you going, how far away is it from where you are? How sad, I'm not going to even see you at church anymore when I get down there. Congratulations though, how exciting for you guys, wish we could buy a house. Someday...

Congratulations! That's so exciting to say farewell to apartment living- I don't miss any of those things you listed either. Happy House Living!

Congrats! It's so fun to have a house to be able to paint, decorate, and do whatever you want...and to not have to listen to crazy neighbors too! At my old apartment with friends before I got married we had half the USU football team living below us (nice guys, but NOT quiet guys!), and a group of wild partier guys above us...and the walls were SO thin we could here them PEE! GROSS! I left my radio or tv on all the time so I wouldn't hear any unnecessary noises!

Congratulations! I know what it's like to leave 78732, but I can't say we are close enough to visit anymore! I heard nothing but great things about Round Rock when we lived there. I know that's where Jackie Hoopes moved from....Good Luck with everything! :)

Hey That is Awesome! It looks really cute! I just had a really good friend move over in Round Rock really close to IKEA. I wonder if you will be in the same ward! Good luck on the move!

Congrats! I had heard the news from a couple of people this week and I'm so happy for you guys. What a great lookin' house. A yard and a garage. Who could ask for anything more? No more stairs!! And you are close to that new mighty fine up there that actually has a playground! Fantastic. Congrats.

Congrats, I am excited to be able to see this one in person! Not to mention, without breaking a sweat by the top of the stairs (is it any wonder you are in such great shape Lonna?) And you can't argue with getting rid of smoky loud neighbors which seem to come with apartment living, no matter where you are.
I hope the next couple of weeks run smoothly and we can help with the actual move, by we and actual I mean Ryan. But please don't hesitate to drop off the kids at our house in the meantime! Moving with small children around can be rough, we have done it twice now, so if you need them out of your hair we'd love to keep them busy!
I can't wait to see what kinds of magic you work with this house, which I hear is in great taste already! I am interested to see some of those paint colors in person as we are currently duking it out with painting our walls. And a yard, yes there is one thing that is worth more than the grief my mortgage payment causes...kids and backyards, always a good combination.
Even closer to Ikea and the outlets, now that is dangerous for both of us! :)

We were returning some thing to the outlets on Friday night and were hoping to drive by and scope out the new place. Justin was saying what a great location that will be and I must say I totally agree! You will be close to so many great places to eat and shop, not to mention Cinemark. We're jealous of your endless date night possibilities!!

We wish you weren't leaving the ward but we're so happy that you will have your very own cigarette-free backyard!! The house looks awesome, we can't wait to see more!!

Lonna, I love it! It looks perfect and those dark cupboards are awesome. I can't wait to see more pictures of it. Good luck with the moving.

That kitchen is BEAUTIFUL! What an exciting time, and I'm thrilled for you four. So sad you'll be leaving our ward, as James has been such a fun Scoutmaster and Christopher will miss him. I know I'll still be in touch with you and we'll get together still. The house has curb appeal. I love it!

We are very happy for you. A house of your own is a great thing and says permanent for a while and that is a good thing too. Hope all goes well it sounds like you have a great support group there so I thank them too. Love mom.

Great kitchen! And it's already blue. I sense a "seashore" decor theme. How about it? Let's see some more photos!
