okay so you said that you live in Coppell
um-hum
so what is your house like
it's a two bedroom two bath duplex brick
oh well that's neat
uh-huh is it one that you're renting or buying oh
and uh
no we own it yeah well our side uh-huh uh-huh
yeah yeah well that's kind of neat that you can even though it's a duplex you can still buy that's good do you have any children
uh-huh yeah
no huh-uh do you
yes i have two children and our home is really too small for us right now
um-hum
ours is too we outgrew it when we moved in
yeah we moved from an apartment that was really small and at the time we just had a little baby that was five months old
uh-huh
uh-huh
and we moved into this house in Garland it's in one of the older areas of town and one thing i really like is it has big trees everywhere and
uh-huh
um-hum
you know lots of shade and squirrels and birds and real pretty but the the house is real small it has less than a thousand square feet
um
yeah
oh wow
yeah it's real little
y'all are cramped
yeah and now i have a daughter now my the one that was five months old is seven years old and the one and i have another one that's three and a half and i have all these clothes and toys and stuff that we're just trying to find places to put
uh-huh
uh-huh
wow
uh-huh how many bedrooms is it
well they advertised it as a three bedroom house because it has a a built on addition room you know but the room that's built on doesn't have a closet
uh-huh
uh-huh
ah
so um the people that lived here before us did use it for a bedroom but we have always just put like our computer and extra toys and books and you know it's kind of a catchall room
um-hum
uh-huh
but it sure is nice to have it
yeah
when the kids come over to play they all go out there to play with the Barbies and that kind of stuff so
uh-huh
how fun
yeah that works out good and i'm thankful i have two girls because they're in bunk beds and so you know they can share a room and uh make for more space that way
uh-huh
uh-huh
and how old's the youngest
she's three and a half yeah
um-hum
so um and right now we have their clothes on uh like double racks you know in the closet we made a higher and a lower and it works out fine but they're just about to get too tall where the dresses are beginning to drag you know and
uh-huh
um-hum
um-hum
uh we're going to have to figure out a new idea but we're we're kind of looking around and wanting to move into a bigger home and uh hoping to be able to do that within a year or so so that would be nice
yeah
yeah
that's what we'd like to do
yeah is Coppell a nice area to live
oh it's wonderful place to live and they i don't have any kids so i don't really know but they say that we have wonderful schools
well i think i've heard a lot uh about Coppell schools that they're real good and that's neat do you do you hope to have children or are you not planning on having any or ah i see well do you have any pets
um-hum um-hum um-hum um
nah i don't think so nah oh of course those are my kids i have two dogs
uh yeah ah so do they stay inside or ah well that's neat
yeah they're inside dogs they're my babies
yeah well what are the colors in your house
uh um kind of a mauve and gray
oh i bet that's pretty
um-hum and then the kitchen's kind of a a country pink and country blue and
uh-huh
it's all done in cows i'm a cow nut
oh well that's neat i like cows too
uh-huh
yeah well our house was redone uh our house is very old also it's like thirty seven years old yeah and it was redone before we moved in which i'm
so
uh-huh
wow
thankful for that but the it was redone at the time probably when earth tones were in you know everything is like
yeah yeah
the carpet's kind of a tan and brown and has um
um-hum
paneling in the living room and lots of lots of tans and lots of browns but the good thing is you can bring out other colors from that you know so
um-hum
oh yeah yeah
uh that's worked out good in the in the kitchen they put real pretty blue and tan um wallpaper and had done it up with blues so that's nice that's
uh-huh
oh sounds pretty
yeah yeah we've enjoyed living here it's it's close to my uh oldest daughter's school and that makes it really handy too
oh
um-hum um-hum
and she really likes her school so and we're so close to shopping and just
well good
that's an important factor there
yeah what uh how about in Coppell i've always imagined it kind of out away from everything
well you know now we have that new mall in Lewisville and that's just like a mile or two from our house
oh really
oh well that's nice
but when we first moved to Coppell it's what six years ago we didn't even have a grocery store
oh wow
and now we have four and Coppell's not really big enough to support four four grocery stores
oh
yeah yeah but it does sound like it's definitely growing
so
oh much very much in fact it's about the size now i moved down here from Chicago what twenty three years ago and to Lewisville
yeah
oh uh-huh
uh-huh
and Coppell's now about the size that Lewisville was when when i moved down here
oh i see well when we first moved here we moved here from Lubbock and we almost moved to Lewisville that was our second choice yeah behind Garland we at the time we thought we might buy a mobile home
uh-huh
oh really
