We are in our house . . . . .sort of . . . . Technically speaking we were "just visiting" tonight, but we are so close that I don't really care!! What would you do your first night in your new house?????
Build furniture right? (I know that is what you were thinking!!)
My fabulous husband hard at work in his soon to be office
The results of our hard work.
We absolutely can not wait to get our house set up and have you all over for a great party (and to quote the awesome Kate "yes you, the entire Internet")
Here is the picture I took as I was leaving our final house walk through. It is so pretty! Everything is so clean looking and smelling and I can't wait to see our stuff in it. We close on Monday and will start moving our stuff in soon after :)
I told someone the other day that in the past I have said (to pregnant women) "wow, that went by fast!" I now know that inside they really wanted to kill me.
It did not go by fast at all, but we have actually made to the end! Stopped by the house today, and for the first time it really felt like our house. I set my purse on the counter, took my shoes off, and started to see how this next chapter of my life is going to be.
The new stuff is carpet, shower doors, concrete, stairs (from garage to house and outside back door), appliances, and oh wait EVERYTHING is done. They are actually talking about doing our closing this weekend. Yes, you read that right - we could be moving in this weekend. I understand if you need a moment ------ I feel the same way!!
Well Here you go! A post without any house pictures - can you believe it?!?!?!
Here is a picture from an AWESOME game night we had with the Matt, Angi, Dave and April. I knew it was going to be fun, but whoa! Thanks for the ab workout guys - I laughed really hard the entire night! (Matt, Dave and Mike - I know that you had fun and can't wait to do it again!)
Also, I just got back from another visit to Vegas. So fun! The first day there I got to go to tot-nastics with Keith, Allie and Nick.
I wanted Nick to get into this, but he wasn't interested. I figured I should show him how fun it could be huh?
I think he liked pushing me more then the idea of getting in . . . . . . . .
These kids are too cute! I love this picture - don't they look so grown up?
The super great Nigbur family - The reason I travel to Vegas baby! (that was for you Keith)
I had such a great time with the kids and our adult time was awesome too! (Allison is the best bean farmer) Thanks for having me!
I was there over Valentines Day and thought you might enjoy Nick's cuteness!
A quick stop by the house today (before my big trip to Vegas!) and I discovered some very exciting changes!
Lights, light switches, outlets, sinks, toilets, and counter tops - I never knew I could be so excited about such simple items!
Have I mentioned that I am excited and ready to move in??!?!?!?! (BTW Dave & April - I guess I have a really bad memory because it is SO not your same counter top!)
So I stopped by the house on the way home from work today (which I never do) and I screamed! I don't know if there is anyway to get my excitement across in this post, but I will try by using A LOT of exclamation points!!!!! I went to Clyde and Normas and made Mike go back to the house with me to share in all the joy!
I present to you . . . . . Our Kitchen!! Complete with cabinets and floor!! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it!
Kitchen with "Breakfast Nook"
And yes, I am still insanely excited that I will now have a laundry room - and here it is! (weird picture, I know, but its a hard one)
I know you have all been dying to see what has happened at the house in the last week! Painters have been over for a visit :) It was very cool to see the paint with the "high hide white" contrast (I love that name). I am trying to take the same pictures when we visit to show the progress in each room. Today was a very exciting change and um yeah . . . I am ready to move in! It is amazing how much more it feels like a home now - I just wanna see our stuff in it.
Mike will never be in the pictures - I was glad to get this one. That opening is the doorway that leaves the garage.
Here is the house prepped for stucco! If you look up at the window of the soon to be office there is an advertisement for the stucco company. It says "we will get you plastered." Mike and I thought it was pretty funny.
OK so this is a call out to anyone who knows anything about houses or construction.
This is our backyard.
Mike and I noticed this large piece of equipment and trench about a week ago. WHAT ARE THEY DOING? It seems very bizarre to us and we are hoping that some of you could share your knowledge --- Thanks!
