Our very first home

I cannot say how sad it was to leave this house.  As far as first homes go, this house really was so perfect for us.  It was considered a "single family home" as it didn't share a wall with anyone else, but was condo style so we didn't have to take on all the "home owner" responsibilities right away but still had plenty of room for guests.  Houston really does do it right as far as housing goes.  We really did not look at anything that was bad, it was more of a preference thing.  I can say, we've forever been spoiled that our first home had travertine floors, granite countertops, dark wood, seamless showers, spa like bathrooms and a walk in closets big enough to be a bedroom.    I also loved the paint color that the builder choose-Sherwin Williams Ethereal Mood.  

In the end, it is just another space, another house, and we've really tried hard not to be attached to things such as this, but it's still sad.  We've made so many memories here for us, it will always hold a special place in our hearts.  

For our own records,we officially closed on the house 24 May 2011 and officially sold it 16 April 2012.  Not even one year!  

Here's a tour of our first home.

Go up the stairs and enter the 2nd floor

 Loved, loved, loved this kitchen.  There was plenty of counter space, the appliances were perfect, and it had, my fave, a build in cabinet for the garbage can.  After living in housing that was not ours the past few years, I swear, it's the little things that make me happy.

There was also a 4th floor which I documented in other blog posts.  It was our roof top terrace with lots of space for BBQs.  We even bought a wading pool that we used on hot days to keep us cool.

Thank you for the memories Sawyer Heights!
