Salinda and Briton moved to West Texas to get a fresh start for their family. A one bedroom, one bath apartment became their home for two years. Salinda’s daughter Taralyn had to sleep on the couch, and the apartment didn’t offer enough room for Briton’s son Brayson to visit. It was time for a change. Salinda and Briton came to their New Home Tour in Odessa just to see if they were financially ready to buy a home, but they left having picked out their floor plan and homesite! “I couldn’t stop smiling when I toured the model home,” Salinda said. Briton knew by her face that they’d found the one. As the family gathered at the site of their future home with their new home specialist (Layne) and their realtor, they prayed and wept, overwhelmed with gratitude. All their sacrifices were paying off. They realized their dream of homeownership was finally coming true. Now that they’re moved in and settled, Salinda and Briton still sometimes feel disbelief that it’s really their home. They have space to all be together. Taralyn has her own room, and there’s a place for Brayson when he comes. Having a dining room and dining table inspired them to start a tradition of having family dinners. Taralyn had never experienced sitting at a table for a meal until they bought this home! Homeownership has changed this family forever; Salinda and Briton credit Betenbough Homes for making it happen.
