So, our big news is that we are moving. We decided to move out to Sunnyvale, Texas. It is located between Garland and Mesquite and borders Lake Ray Hubbard. It is 15 miles from downtown Dallas. Gordon and Jenn and their family live there and Mom and Dad Foote are going to come there when they return from their mission. It will be a big change from Coppell. It is much smaller. We will miss all of our friends and teachers from Coppell. However, we are looking forward to new things in Sunnyvale.
We are building a home in a neighborhood called Stoney Creek. This is what it looks like as you turn into the subdivision. The building on the right is the neighborhood swimming pool and small fitness center. We are looking forward to using the pool!
Another view of the pool. If you click on this picture you will be able to see big lights on the right side of the picture. These are the lights from the high school stadium. It is pretty close--maybe a 1/2-3/4 of a mile. All of the schools are next to each other. So, the elementary school is about a mile away. The kids can ride their bikes or ride the trails to get there. There is also a bus that will pick them up if they want. Sunnyvale ISD is a small school district. We are really excited about the small class sizes and the kids getting to go to school with their cousins. We were also surprised to find out the the district is ranked 14th in the state. It is a 2A school with just over 800 kids.
This is taken from the same area. There are trails throughout the neighborhood and they also lead to the schools. The lake is filled with fish and there is a pier for catch and release fishing. You can actually see our lot in this view. It is half way between the house on the right and the closest one to it on the left. I think that you can click on the picture to enlarge it. If you do, you can see a yellow tractor. It is on our lot.
Our lot. The trees behind our lot back up to Nance Road. It is a Civil War road and cannot be touched since it is "historical." The school are not very far down on the other side of Nance Road.
The view from the front of our lot looking at the end of the cul-de-sac. There will not be any homes built in front of ours. There is also a gate in the fence so that we can have access to the trails, the lake, and the grass areas in front of our new home.
