It's Official, We are Homeowners.....Again!

Well, it is official, we are homeowners once again. We still can't believe this day is here and we have keys in hand. Kind of crazy how time flies... Now the next week and a half will be another crazy roller coaster. Today we went over to the house and met with the painter. He will start painting tomorrow.

We also took the dogs over to the house for the first time. I have to say it was so funny and I will post pictures later. They didn't know what to do with themselves! Sophie was the first to find the stairs and she went exploring. Maggie was right behind her. One thing is for sure, they wanted in the backyard. We didn't let them go back there today since the sod is still fairly new and it has been so rainy here lately. Andrew and I both said that if we feel like they follow us everywhere now just wait until we move into this house. They will be all over us and will freak out if they can't find us. It will be interesting.

Anywho, I wanted to just update everyone that we are through with this step and on to the next....moving! I will post pictures a little later. We couldn't be happier and thanks for being there on this journey!

Finishing Touches

Well, this will be the last post before we close on Wednesday. I can't believe that closing is finally here. It seems like just yesterday that we were THINKING about building a house and now it will be ours in just a few days. The finishing touches have been added in the last couple of weeks. The cedar beams in the master bedroom are up and the appliances went in. We have our final walk thru in two days and I can't believe it will be done. Overall the process has been so fantastic. We have really enjoyed it, the last few tiny details have been a bit frustrating but we are happy to be done. Now the real test begins...decorating! I can't wait but I know it will be a while before I can do that. We have a painter coming in to do some rooms downstairs. We are leaving the upstairs for now. The next two weeks will be reserved for packing. I'm sure that will be a challenge for both of us. Just finding the time to do it but we will get it done. We are looking forward to May 9th when we will finally be in our new home. We have enjoyed sharing this process with all of you and look forward to y'all (I know I will get crap about this from my family) coming over and spending some time in our new home! My parents came down last weekend to spend some time with us and help with things around the house. It was a great time. Some of the pics posted are from when we took them to Pete's dualing piano bar. Fun times....

Almost There!
















We are almost there. we are getting so close to being done. The final touches have been put in. Andrew's parents visited this past weekend to help pack and to look at the house. The carpet is down and the landscaping is done. I can't believe that we are going to be moving in in less than a month! My parents will be coming this weekend. We have the first walk through this weekend and then we close in a week and a half! Here are just the latest pictures. I will keep updated but this should be it for a little while. Enjoy!

Slowly Getting Closer!











Progress is moving forward at a very slow pace! There isn't much more to be done. The wood floors are done and are absolutely gorgeous! We are getting so excited about moving in. Only a few more weeks. It is crazy how time flies!
