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!

Front

I noticed I haven't posted a picture of the front of the house since all the brick has been done. So here it is!

Closing Date!

Our closing date has move to MAY 28TH!!!!!!!!!!! SOOO excited! This is a whole month (and 1 day) earlier that our orginial closing date! :-)
Rena and I went up to the house last night and the cabinets were in! The walls had been painted and they are getting ready to pour the driveway and patio!

This is the back of the house the wood it outlining where the patio will be!
The fireplace is all done! It just has to be painted!

Driveway is ready to be poured! I believe the garage doors will be up soon. We also have all of the interior doors in the garage!

Kitchen Cabinets! All of the cabinets are the same and they are installed in the bathrooms and the kitchen!

YAYAYA!!! I'm getting really excited!!!

Brick and drywall

We haven't been up to the house this week. We have been occupied with getting the final things out of the rental house and cleaning it. So I'm happy to say we are finally DONE with that. Geez that was like a month long move.

Last time I saw the house the brick was almost done --- (if you look to the right at my tweets from twitter there should be a picture of the brick). Also there were piles of drywall in every room ready to be put up and the whole house had been insulated! I really wish I could get up there and see the progress but with class tonight and getting ready for the HUGE garage sale tomorrow night it looks like it'll be Friday!

I also want to say Congrats to Hillary and Chris! Hillary had Parker yesterday!!! YAY!!! We can't wait to move into the neighborhood and watch him grow up! So I think i figured this out. Hillary and I are second cousins once removed... and so that makes parker my third cousin! ha ha ha!!

This weekend is our yard sale. We are selling so much stuff it is rather ridiculous! Also, Rena has climb atlanta race this weekend. (ha good luck babe - its a race up 50 flights of stairs)

If anyone has cool picture or ideas for a master bedroom that they would like to share that would be great. We're kind of stuck with figuring out what we want to do!

later.

As Promised!

Whew! We really have been so busy! I got a text from my mom today that I needed to update my blog! ha so here it is. 

We had the pre drywall meeting and everything is looking good and we are right on track. Ben, our builder is actually thinking we will be able to move the closing date up by two weeks. They painted the siding last week as you can see in the picture below - its actually darker than in looks in the picture. 

This week is brick and drywalll!!! Woo hoo! Below is a picture where the brick is started! We are going to try to go up there tomorrow so we can see how far along they are now. Hopefully they are almost done!! 
So we are really happy with the way it is turning out! I can't wait to see the drywall to start going in! 

Friday is SUGARLAND!!! I couldn't be happier or more excited! I absolutely love ms. j.n and can't wait to see them rock it! Saturday is Frenchie's shower and bachelorette party. It should be fun! Then sunday is Easter. so its a jammed pack weekend to say the least. All the while we are still trying to get the final few things out of the rental and get it cleaned up.

ok i promise i will be better about updating more often.
