Melissa is a city in Texas!

Well, since we got back from our trip to Texas, people have been asking where we are moving to.  My kids have told them, Melissa, Texas.  "No, not who you're living by!" they've said.  Well I'm here to tell you that Melissa is a place! 

  We are thrilled to share pictures of our new home that is processing through the terribly slow mortgage and USDA system!  We found a low interest, no down loan through the USDA, since Melissa is considered rural.  Our home looks like a big brick cube now, hopefully we can plant lots of trees to get it to blend a little better.  Our back neighbor is a giant field, our house is brand new, there is a creek down the street for frog catching and lots of new and exciting neighbors.  We have a new church in the city and the schools are great! 
We are really looking forward to the move. 
  Then, reality of a move in a month, broken car, laundry, work and raising kids hits me like a ton of bricks.  Things will work out I'm sure, and boy we'll have a blast doing it!
  Oh, by the way armadillo's look much stranger on the side of the road than skunks!
