It's really happening.....

So it's not like we have the keys yet or anything, but we have started doing little things that are making it feel real. Tomorrow Mom (Rhonda) is going to pick up the carpet. We have started getting estimates on a couple things like insulation (for the walls) and extending the cement slab in the back--for Dustin's trailer. I am so excited, I just can't hide it.....you know the rest.

Other than that I am just enjoying the calm before the storm. Pretty soon this house, we are going to call home, is going to take over our lives and be all consuming for a couple of months. We are taking it easy and enjoying this down time. But that doesn't stop me from shopping and doing the fun part.

Moving Update

So I just wanted to give everyone a quick update. We are out of the apartment. I still have to load a few things into the POD and clean everything of course, but we are moved out and staying with Nana and Papa (Mom and Dad Harris).

We hope to turn in the apartment keys by Friday. It's a little harder to get things done during the work week than on the weekend.

To the above-left is a picture of the house that I downloaded from the MLS. It's a tiny picture and it's a before picture but that's our house. I can't wait to get the keys! Until then we will be swimming, playing, shopping, planning and enjoying our summer before it becomes all work and no play.

Moving, Moving, Moving.....yes, I know AGAIN

We are moving again!! But this will be the last time, for years and years at least. We bought a house!! We are so excited!! We plan on being out of our apartment this weekend. They found someone to move in faster than we had anticipated. We will be staying with Dustin's parents while escrow closes and while we do some remodeling. It is right across the street from their house, so it will be an easy trip everyday to walk over and work on it. We plan on doing most of the work ourselves, but will obviously have to contract out certain things. It is going to take lots and lots of work, but it is ours so it will all be worth it. Who would have ever thought I would be so excited about working up a sweat? More details to come and I will post before and after pictures as soon as they become available. I just wanted to make sure everyone was in to loop. We love you all!!!
