FINALLY! We moved in..........

We are finally in our new home. It has been a long road with lots of stress and worries but that has all paid off. I can't even explain how happy I am.Here is our foyer area where my old tree is since it looked too small in the great room.
Our beautiful great room. It is SO warm and cozy.

I love my kitchen!

We have worked very hard to get where we are today. Neither one of us have owned a home. This feels so good!

Christmas Photos

I decided to send out a photo Christmas card this year. After my work party I made my husband pose with me for my pics. Oh yeah and the cat in one anyway. It was fun but after about 10 shots my husband was done. Plus I was tired of running back and forth to set the timer. We ended up using the first one below.

The week is almost half over......

So glad tomorrow is hump day. I'm ready for the weekend. Looking forward to watching the OSU/Michigan game. GO BUCKS! We may do some more painting, trying to get as much done as possible before we move in.

The builder told my husband the house should be done by Thanksgiving, Not sure if that meant the house and the final inspections? That would be great! I'm ready to have my own space and get settled. So tired of living out of totes, boxes and not knowing where anything is.

We bought all of our kitchen appliances this past Sunday and they are being delivered next Tuesday! Yay! I can't wait to see how awesome they look in our kitchen. I don't think it has truely sunk in yet that this is our house. Still seems like a dream. :o) Oh well I'm off to call my Grandpa and wish him Happy Birthday.

Few Updates of the House

I took these pictures with my cell phone. I have no idea where I packed my camera charger and of course now the battery is dead. Ugh! Oh well thank goodness for cell phones with cameras. We just loved the stone in the model we saw. It runs from the floor to the ceiling.



We have some on the front of the house. It really adds a nice touch instead of all siding.

We have one pillar on the front porch.

I am so behind...

Wow I have not updated my blog in a long time. Well things have been busy and a little hectic the past few months, that could be why. The house is coming along and the last we heard is it will be done by Thanksgiving. Yay! We have been living in the loft at mother in laws for a little over a month now and are ready for our own space again. I am ready to be organized and not live out of boxes. It will be so nice when I can find something I am looking for. I hope the next two weeks go by quickly. We are staying busy, painting, shopping for appliances, etc. That definitely helps pass the time. One thing that is driving me crazy is I cannot find the charger for my digital camera and the battery is dead. Ugh! You think I would have packed that with my things I brought to the loft. Nope! Can't find it anywhere. Dammit I want to take and upload some more pics.

Last night I was able meet some more nesties. I had a great time. We had a TTC happy hour at Champps. I had some very yummy onion soup and a graden salad. We chit chat on the nestie website everyday but it was nice to see each other in person. Can't wait to do it again and meet some others. So happy it is Friday! I am ready for the weekend!

This Past Week........

My adorable niece Jayda who was very giggly at this point. Not from margaritas she had some candy and gum she bought up front. Aunt Natalie gave her some money of course.

My sister Sarah enjoying a margarita last night! Yummy!

Our yummy dessert on our anniversary! It was a warm chocolate cake with hot fudge and a scoop of vanilla ice crea. Oh la la! I was in heaven. Please don't tell Jennifer my Weight Watcher's leader. LOL!

Spending time with family...........

My husband worked a double yesterday but I had my mom, sister and niece over for a cookout. They had not seen the house yet so we took a ride out to the country to see it. We had to take a few pics especially the beautiful sunset above. This is what you would see from the front door and windows. Once we got back into town we took a walk. It was such an awesome night, the air was cool and crisp. I had such an awesome weekend!
