Almost Home

Great news!! I got a call last week, confirming that our house is a head of schedule. So that means we are no longer closing on April 27...it is April 13!!! We are just so excited! We are now trying to plan accordingly, starting to pack ordering blinds and getting some lawn care. The really cool things! The outside of the house is still not painted, but they taped up the outside and they should be doing that today, or Monday. But until the finish product here are some updates with the inside..



This is looking at our entry way.



This is our living room, I am so excited to have a fan!



This is where our dinning table will go, but right now is holding our appliances.



This is my pantry!!!



Laundry room, it will look so good with my CHERRY Red front loaders in!



Our Bedroom!



Our bathroom, so much space!



And finally the outside. It is so nice that they put in a front yard!

Oh My...

Well I was not going to put up anymore pictures until it was all done...but I got out voted by my husband. Since Monday they have done a lot of work, just see for yourself



This is part of our bathroom. We got his and her sinks. So the tub was already in (you can't see it but its off the to the left). And yesterday they put in cabinets, counter tops and flooring. Not to mention base boards and doors.



This is my laundry room. Again they put in floor, base boards and door. All they have left is to fill in hole and paint base boards and door, and to put a shelf on the back wall.



This is from the living room facing the front door. I just wanted to show how white our walls are, I can not wait to paint. And the big closet will be our pantry. I did not get a picture of it but they laid tile in the entry way as well.



These are our kitchen appliances which are taking up half of our living room. There is the fridge, which we got really lucky that they are paying for it. The gas stove, dishwasher, and stuff. Did I mention stainless steel?? That is right!! No more cheap apartment appliances.







This is our kitchen. I love all the cabinets and counter space I am going to have. I would have to say that I love my floor, (but no picture is doing it justice since it is covered in sawdust). They put all this together in 2 days!!

The house is coming along so fast, and I can not wait for the phone call today from John (the Realtor), about the meeting with the contractors.

Side Note~ I am off to Idaho for a week leaving this afternoon. I old Jon to make sure and get house photos this week. And I just cant wait to see the progress. I am really excited to go. Mom, Grandma and me are going to sew like crazy!! And I am going to Rexburg Sunday and Monday, it is crazy how much I miss that place!! Since I will be gone this weekend Jon is heading down to my families property. It is about 2 and half hours. He is going to do a little work, and coyote huntin, and scoutin some turkeys. He really deserves a break and it will be so awesome for him to go. Lets just say, both of us are really happy!!

Oh the Joys

Last night was awesome. It is good to know that our new front door is hard to break in to, but we need to remember that the sliding door is always easy. That is right we had to break into our new house last night. We were just dieing to see what they have done. The dry wall is up, the walls are textured. The cabinets were in boxes on the floor, all the doors were in the garage. And our garage door was on, and our driveway was poured. What was really cool is that we measured the back yard, and it is a really good size for that neighborhood, probably the biggest one. We are right next to the corner house, you would think that they would have more yard, I think we beat them. A little birdy called me this morning (our amazing Realtor) and told me that the house is a head of schedule. Now we do not know exactly what this means, there is a big meeting taking place on Thursday with contractors and we will know after that.

To me this means I might have to many chains on my count down. It would be such a blessing if we were able to move in before April 27. I am ready to be out of this temporary apartment. I am so ready to have pictures on the wall, and to have that homey feeling back, and to not have to trip over boxes.

A side note. Jon really loves his job. We are really happy that we took this. Now I wish I would have taken a construction class or something...He is always talking about something new that I do not understand, maybe I need "construction for dummies". We are truly blessed and are so thankful for the support of our family and friends.

Update

We are so excited, the roof is on, the inside is dry-walled. We actually went in and walked around the house. The tubs are in, the garage door on. Things are right on schedule. And soon there will only be updates on the inside and no more outside. All they have left to do on the outside is paint and pour the driveway ( yes we are finally going to have a driveway!) and lay sod for the front lawn.



Now I know I am just posting about the house right now, but we are really boring people...until the house is built. I swear every weekend we go by the house. Stop at Home Depot and Lowes to look at things we will need to get or projects Jon wants to do in the house. We come home and I day dream about paint and new couches, and finally getting to use my new washer and dryer (they are currently in boxes in our living room). Needless to say right now we are like consumed by the house.
