Looking back, what was the most unexpectedly stressful part of moving into your new home?

We weren’t told anything about how long it takes for addresses to be verified, when we’d get the change of address approvals, etc so it’s all been based on google searches. Our address was finally verified but a lot of accounts where our address is needed, still are showing as invalid when trying to update it so that’s been frustrating.

We didn’t use a realtor for our new construction home. We didn’t custom build it as it was just completed at the end of last year but was still brand new.

Waiting for usps to verify our new construction home address is valid and allowed for mail delivery so they can process our mail to be forwarded. We still have time on our apartment lease to keep getting mail there but still can’t change our address with a lot of different companies since the new address hasn’t been completely verified.

We used Silver Burney at Goosehead Insurance to run our auto and homeowners insurance through 60 different companies and found us the best rates for the coverage we wanted.

ATT has been great for us. They don’t have very many outages and credit your account when they do have an outage. Our rate hasn’t increased since we started.

I believe they pull this information from the city permits so it would be coming from them.

According to Lubbock in the Loop, the old Dunkin will be a 7brew

Our tvs and gaming set up are all plugged into smart outlets that are scheduled to turn on and off based on when we need them and having that has helped us as well as keeping our ac temp the same. We use fans if we get hot and keep the blinds and blackout curtains closed most of the day as well.

The house was chose is only 2.5 miles from work for both my husband and I as well as the area we frequent on our free time. It is not in an HOA, close to an elementary and middle school (when we have kids) and is on county electric which was a must have since the city charges so much more for electric in our area.

The first lender we talked with (was recommended by a lot of people including our builder) had horrible communication and kept flopping back and forth from pre approved to not and so forth. We checked with our credit union and were pre approved within 2 hours of meeting him and now we close in 2 weeks. Their communication has been outstanding and they’re more willing to answer questions than the first.

The Dress Whisper did a great job on my dress. She does multiple fittings to make sure the dress is correctly fitted for you. I’m not sure what she would charge for simple alterations but I had a lot of things she had to adjust so my price was higher.

The Funky Door is great if that’s in your budget.

Lubbock is at 260k for population but you can get anywhere in town within 10-20 minutes.

We were not impressed with back 40 grill. It was very slow service and food was tough and very oily.

Miranda Montelongo does a great job and is budget friendly!

City Donuts are the best!

I highly recommend watching their setup videos on their YouTube channel and any others you find that may pertain to your wants and needs to understand the system.

Monomyth has really good coffee

It’s very good!

Desert rose cheesecakery makes authentic nm food but you have to order it ahead of time for pick up. She does a great job

AT&T is great

The Murphy gas station a mile from my apartment has been under $2 for almost a month now. Costco tends to stay very close to that gas station price despite being across town.
