Bye Bye Cottage Way

So, we moved back to Texas...

It all happened so fast! Long story short, we got an offer on our house in Encinitas and it wasn't on the market. The timing seemed like it might be right, so we decided to just move forward and see if it all worked out. We LOVED our house and life in Encinitas, but we were running out of space in the house and my entire family lives back in Texas. Andy flew to Texas on his way home from a work trip to Miami (the same day the buyer came to look at our Encinitas house) and found a great house in Texas. He used his master negotiating skills to get a great deal and we went into contract that day. So, basically, we weren't really thinking about moving, then BAM, it all happened really fast. 

We are here in Texas now, but I wanted to make sure we saved the last round of photos from our sweet home in Encinitas. We loved the house, but we what we loved more were our sweet our Cottage Way neighbors. If only we could have brought them with us. Not to worry, we have lots of trips planned for them to visit us and for us to visit them in the next year(s).

Oddly enough right before we moved, we redid our kitchen counters, backsplash and updated the downstairs and upstairs master bath counters and mirrors. We did it for us, not to sell the house, but the timing worked out perfectly. 

Will post pictures of the Texas house once we unbury ourselves from boxes and get a few things up on the walls. 
Old photo, but one of the only ones I could find of the front of the house. 











  
These are the kiddos we miss so much!
