Homeowners in 6 days

Final walk thru went well. We wen't around and put blue painters tape on eveything we want them to fix. Just minor drywall fixes and paint touch ups. It's getting so close and it went by so fast. In Feburary it felt like May was so far away. I think we are both extremely excited but nervous too. We are about to get really used to yard work and homeowner duties. It's really kind of surreal to think that Rena at 24 and I at 21 have had the chance to purchase and build such a beautiful house that will become our home. Living in the apartment and rental house we still had things that are "hers" and "mine." Here everything will be "ours." It's a huge step and resposiblity that we are about to take on together but I think we are ready. Operation is today at 3:45 --- I really don't think it's going to be as big of a deal as I was expecting, at least I'm hoping. We have a crazy weekend ahead of us, we need to get some final things ready for the house and we are going to paint the rocking chairs and a table.

8 days...

Wow only 8 days... Tomorrow afternoon is our final walk through. We bought the couch, matress and some of the bedding, and my mom bought us a kitchen table! I'm still trying to find office furniture and a media cabinet. Other things that we need will be coming later on down the road.

This is our bedding...




Part of the kitchen!


The couch!!

Tomorrow morning is Maddox's graduation from pre-K! Then tomorrow afternoon is the final walk through, then Friday afternoon I have my operation, which btw, my eye has been feeling much better today and yesterday. YAY for two pain free days!

13 Days


YAY!! Everything is almost done! Just a few minor things are left to be done. We went up there tonight and Hillary, Chris and Parker came down and walked around the house with us! We are so excited I can't even stand it! And I can't wait to be neighbors!!! 
Here are some pictures. 




Holy cow I can't wait!

On another note - the blocked tear duct has gotten really bad and extremely painful. I finally broke down and went to see the dr. he put me on some medication and i have to go in next friday for what they call a "mop" appointment. meaning minor operation. hmph.

this weekend involves doing much needed shopping for house stuff... we're in the home stretch and it's time to get excited! :-)

Pictures

Ok So this is the Master Bathroom, still needs the mirrors!


This is looking down into the family room and kitchen. 
Upstairs Hall Bath
Dinning room- Still needs another coat of paint. 
Butler's Pantry! There will be glass inlays on the upper cabinets
And this is my favorite picture!!!! The kitchen! with amazing appliances. You can't really see the counter tops because they are covered in plastic. 
These pictures were taken on Sunday. So i'm sure a lot has changed since then. YAY! only 21 more days until closing!

Countertops!

After Ru San's last night Rena and I went up to the house to check on things. We hadn't been in a a few days and we are leaving this morning to go down to Peachtree City for Frenchie's wedding tomorrow.... yes rena will be wearing a dress and I think she might have master.... well no not mastered, but is decent in walking in the heels. 

Needless to say we will be gone until Sunday so we wanted to get up there and see what was going on although it was DARK! 

We used our cell phones to guide us through the house and found that the granite countertops are installed in the kitchen and the butler's pantry. The toilets, doorknobs, sinks, thermostats, and a/c units are all in too. AND the dishwasher, range, and lighting fixtures are all in the boxes ready to go in! 

So things are coming along and we will go up there on Sunday when we get back to take pictures!
