I found it!!

It's perfect. Well... maybe not perfect, but it's perfect for now. I have decided upon a nice little 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Seven Palms. If you select the "Floor Plans" option, I'm in the Belize floor plan.

Its a little smaller (the kitchen is a little smaller, the bedroom is a little smaller, and the bathroom doesn't have the big tub), but for the price I can't go wrong. I can still have room for Thanksgiving dinner! Which yes - I've already claimed it amongst my friends. And depending on family plans, Christmas may be there too. :) We'll see. Heaven knows that Dana has a point - what else will I do with all of those Christmas decorations???

And besides ... this way I can buy an expandable dining room table and have hosts (okay, like 8 maybe) of people over for a dinner party which I have been itching to have since I learned that I can fake it with lamb and make it passable. :-P

But I'm super duper excited to be setting out all on my own for the first time in Houston and I'm even more excited to go FURNITURE SHOPPING!! That is quite possibly even more exciting than deciding on a place...

Stay tuned for more Erin Home Updates - I promise. You should be almost a third as excited as I am. It's worth it.

Congrats on your new place!

We got a lot of our furniture at Sussan, well most of it. Pretty decent selection and they have tons of books you can order stuff out of if they don't have it on the floor. The best part is they are pretty good on prices too.

Glad to hear you found a place. Sounds and looks nice. I look forward to hearing more about your plans as you go.

Josh...the furniture salesman! haha

I remember back in the day I looked at those apartments. At the time it was a bit expensive for me...I ended up next door at the Gables Bradford.

Congrats on finding a place to call home. Can't wait to see what you do with the place...
