Day who knows, but we're so stickin close!

Hey everyone! We are do to sign with escrow on the 29th and all our ducks are in a row but one... our certificate of occupancy won't get released until we do our final appraisal. Since our how is bascially done, minus a touch up here and installing a screen there, we are hoping to get our appraiser to do it one day early so we can stick to our plan! Please pray it happens so we can indeed sign with Escrow on the 29th. Our plan is still to get our keys on the 1st sometime betwee 2-5pm. Let me tell you how unproductive that day will be at work! Our plan is to get movers on Sat. Oct. 1st in the morning and then be all moved into our BRAND NEW HOUSE by dinner time!!!!!! We will hopefully be hosting our first Sun. night dinner (carry out of course) with my Aunt, parents, sister, and cousin!!! Long journey looking like it is coming to an end soon!!!! Please keep your prayers coming, just to help us get to the finish line-injury free, on time, and hopefuly without any more gray hair!!!!

Day 40

The vanity in the upstairs bathroom

Our vanity in our Master bath

Our kitchen

Here's our stove/microwave area

Well day 40 was last week but that's when these pictures are from! Yesterday was day 45 and rumor has it our carpet is just about finished, we got mirrors, and shelves that that's what they were working on this past week! Not sure when we'll get out there as we're hanging out with my parents all day on Sun. but I will hopefully stop by there after work someday! We are still on for Setp 29th for our close date so I don't think I'll do too many more posts so we can all be surprised when everything is put together!!

Just finished Day 36

Last weekend we went and checked out the inside of the house. We brought with us my Aunt Ann, Hillary, Garret, mom, me and Zepper. It was really nice to share our "soon to be home" with family! Can't wait to move in

Here is Garret trying to figure out our wiring in our living room.

I think this is where the oven will go. The living room area is on the right of the little wall. Right behind the wall with the boxes on it is our 1/2 bath. The door to the left of the wall is our VERY large pantry and just down the little hallway is our garage

Our living room again. That's our front door (that's open) and our closet on the right.

Our staircase looking up at our laundry room

Our "we hope to be our nursery room.....it looks really dark but it really isn't....and of course there will be a light in the room as well

Part 1 of our Master

And Part 2 of the Master....now in contrast to the extra rooms, our bedroom is NOT lacking in light. I guess I won't get to sleep in as late as I'd like anymore

Our bathroom in our bedroom, again with another window. Just to the right of the bathroom wall is our closet with yet again more windows (3 to be exact!) Our closet is attached to the bathroom, which I think is pretty nifty since I always bring my clothes into the bathroom with me when I take a shower

Here's the outside back of the house. Everyone is standing on our little patio area-perfect for our plug in George Foreman grill!!! Zepper is trying to convience me that we need a man grill now that we hve a real house. We'll see about that!

Here's our house, all that's missing from this shot is our black front door, our black garage lights, and some landscaping!! It's coming along!!!! Stay tuned!!! We're hoping that in 1 month from today we can move in!!!!!

Coming along- Day 34

Sorry it has been FOREVER since we did a post! The house is really coming along. I'll post more pictures hopefully this weekend. Brent is out of town for a golfing trip and took the camera! Today we are on Day 34!!!! We walked through the house this past weekend and boy are things looking like a house....we have walls up, paint on the walls, a garage door, and this week our millwork was going to be started. Our cabnets should be finished today and things are really coming together. We've had a few set backs so now we are shooting for Oct. 1 close day. We are going to wait another week before we give our notice to the apartments cuz in case we have to push it back even more. SInce Oct. 1 is in the middle of the week, we will probably wait until the 3-4 to move into the new house and say goodbye to apartment life! It is getting closer everyday. It comes with a lot of crazy emotions-mostly all good. :-) We have a few glitches to work out as far as space is concerned as we are seeing once again that our house isn't true in size to what we were told it would be or to houses we were shown and told ours would be similar size, but oh well! It really isn't that wierd to have your dining room table in your Master bedroom, is it????? Stay tuned....more to come!!
