[speaker001:] Okay, so you said that you live in Coppell.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So what is your house like?
[speaker002:] It's a two bedroom, two baths duplex.
[speaker001:] Oh, well that's neat,
[speaker002:] Brick
[speaker001:] Uh-huh
[speaker002:] and, uh,
[speaker001:] is it one you're renting or buying?
[speaker002:] No, we own it, yeah, well, our side [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah, well that's kind of neat that you can
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] even though it's a duplex, you can still buy. That's good.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah.
[speaker001:] Do you have any children?
[speaker002:] No, huh-uh. Do you?
[speaker001:] Yes, I have two children, and our home is really too small for us right now [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Ours is, too.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] We outgrew it when we moved in.
[speaker001:] Yeah,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] we moved from an apartment
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] that was really small, and at the time we just had a little baby that was five months old
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] so we moved into this house in Garland, it's in one of the older areas of town
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and one thing I really like is it has big trees everywhere
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, lots of shade and squirrels and birds and
[speaker002:] Um.
[speaker001:] real pretty, but the, the house is real small
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] it has less than a thousand square feet
[speaker002:] Oh, wow.
[speaker001:] yeah, it's real little.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] You all are cramped [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, and now I have a daughter, now my, the one that was five months old is seven years old
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and the one, I have another one that's three and a half
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and have all these clothes, and [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] toys and stuff that we're just trying to find places to put,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, how many bedrooms is it?
[speaker001:] Well, they advertised it as a three bedroom house
[speaker002:] Uh-huh
[speaker001:] because it has a built on addition room, you know
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] but the room that's built on doesn't have a closet
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] so, um, the people that lived here before us did use it for a bedroom
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] but we have always just put like our computer and extra toys and books and
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, it's kind of a catch all room [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] But it sure is nice to have it
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] when the kids come over to play they all go out there to play with the Barbies
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and that kind of stuff, so.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] How fun.
[speaker001:] Yeah, that works out good.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] And I'm thankful I have two girls, because they're in bunk beds, {C and
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] so, } you know, they can share a room
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and, uh, make for more space that way.
[speaker002:] And how old's the youngest?
[speaker001:] She's three and a half
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] yeah, so, um, and right now we have their clothes on, uh, like double racks, you know, in the closet
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] we made a higher and a lower
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and it works out fine, but they're just about to get too tall [LAUGHTER],
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] where the dresses are beginning to drag
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, and, um, 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
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] uh, hoping to be able to do that within a year or so
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] so that would be nice.
[speaker002:] That's what we'd like to do.
[speaker001:] Yeah, is Coppell a nice area to live?
[speaker002:] Oh, it's a 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.
[speaker001:] Well, I think I've heard a lot, uh, about Coppell schools, that they're real good
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] that's neat.
[speaker002:] Um.
[speaker001:] Do you, do you hope to have children, or are you not planning on having any, or,
[speaker002:] I don't think so, no.
[speaker001:] I see.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, do you have any pets?
[speaker002:] Oh, of course, those are my kids
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker002:] I have two dogs.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, do they stay inside, or,
[speaker002:] Yeah, they're inside dogs.
[speaker001:] Well, that's, that's neat.
[speaker002:] They're my babies.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, what are the colors in your house?
[speaker002:] Uh, um, kind of a mauve and gray.
[speaker001:] Oh, I bet that's pretty.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, and then the kitchen's kind of a, a country pink and country blue, and
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] it's all done in cows, I'm a cow nut [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, that's neat. I like cows, too.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh
[speaker001:] Yeah
[speaker002:] so.
[speaker001:] well, our house was redo-, uh, our house is very old also
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] it's like thirty-seven years old
[speaker002:] Wow.
[speaker001:] yeah, and it was redone before we moved in, which, I'm thankful for that, but the, it was redone at the time probably when earth tones were in
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] everything is
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] like, the carpet's kind of a tan and brown
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and has, um, paneling in the living room, and lots of, lots of tans and lots of browns
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] but the good thing is you can bring out other colors from that
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, yeah,
[speaker001:] you know, so, uh, that's worked out good. In the, in the kitchen they put real pretty blue and tan, um, wallpaper
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] had done it up with blues, so that's nice, but
[speaker002:] Oh, sounds pretty.
[speaker001:] yeah, yeah, we've enjoyed living here.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It's close to my, uh, oldest daughter's school
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] and that makes it really handy, too
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and she really likes her school, so
[speaker002:] Good.
[speaker001:] and we are so close to shopping and...
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] That's an important factor there [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, how about in Coppell? I've always imagined it kind of out, away from everything.
[speaker002:] Well, you know, now we have that new mall in Lewisville
[speaker001:] Oh, really,
[speaker002:] and that's just like a mile or two from our house
[speaker001:] Oh, well, that's nice.
[speaker002:] but, when we first moved to Coppell, it's what, six years ago, we didn't even have a grocery store
[speaker001:] Oh, wow,
[speaker002:] and now we have four [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] and Coppell's not really big enough to support fo-, four grocery stores
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah
[speaker002:] so,
[speaker001:] but it does sound like it's definitely growing.
[speaker002:] Oh, much
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] very much. In fact, it's about the size now, I moved down here from Chicago, what, twenty-three years ago
[speaker001:] Oh, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, to Lewisville
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and Coppell's now about the size that Lewisville was when, when I moved down here.
[speaker001:] Oh, I see.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, when we first moved here, we moved here from Lubbock
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and we almost moved to Lewisville, that was
[speaker002:] Oh really,
[speaker001:] our second choice, yeah, behind Garland, we, at the time we thought we might buy a mobile home,
