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.

Stressed

So yes, it has been a while since i last updated my blog. Things have been go go go with no stopping but to sleep at night. We are have moved in with my mom and dad and things are going well. We are still in the process of moving out of the rental and its a wreck! moving is so messy and i hate it. then we get an email tonight that the landlord wants to show the house for four hours on saturday... ha ha ha well the house is an absolute wreck and we are in the process of moving and will be there all day on saturday making trips back and forth. I'm just so ready to be out of there completely so we can relax a little. ugh i'm exhausted and stress from moving and school. time to go to bed.

Siding!!

Real quick update - because I need to go to bed and we have two puppies in the bed with us tonight! (we are watching chesney for my mom and dad). Hillary and Chris had their final walk through for their house today and Hillary is the BEST and took pictures of our house!!! Thanks Hillary! Sooooo... we have siding and a chimney! The siding isn't painted yet and we might try to ride up there tomorrow night to see what else they've done! yaya!! so exciting and they are moving FAST! 







P.S. We are having a little run in with the fence situation. Apparently the HOA rules have just changed to say a fence can only go off the back of a house and go straight back so it can't come out a few feet and then go back... i know its hard to explain.... but trust me it sucks. So Jenny is asking the HOA guy to see what we can do.... keep your fingers crossed.

Windows, Roof, and Wrapped!

Progress! Rena and I went up to the house this weekend and they have done quite a bit! We now have windows, a front door, a roof, and it's wrapped! you can start to see what each room is going to be on the inside too! 
This is the front (obviously)



This is upstairs looking into the other bedrooms and bathroom from the master

Today we started packing up and moving furniture for the garage sale and we now have a couch in the living room and thats it. No TV or tables. I think we'll be at my mom and dad's pretty soon maybe even this week. I don't like being amongst this packing mess/nightmare! 
We went to dinner with Lauren, Sarah and Ava tonight! It was a lot of fun and Ava is absolutely adorable! This must happen more often! :-) Now we are about to get ready for bed because we are exhausted. ha 
I don't know what the next step is for our house? maybe brick and siding? or maybe they start wiring stuff... i have no clue.
