We’re very happy to be moved in. If you can read this, DSL is already working again too. Now we can finally get back to our email.

It’s about time for another update, right?  The house is mostly complete.  We had
our walk-through on July 31st, and that was where we told them what they still needed
to complete.  Sod and landscaping really add a finishing touch!  We close
on August 5th, so I guess that means we should start packing?  Everyone in our neighborhood is really great.  We’re all super excited to be moving in.  After work everyday, there’s a big block party when everyone comes to look at his house.  Brian and Janie are ready to move in and enjoy being homeowners!  Janie will just be glad that there is some color on the walls instead of “apartment cream.”

After some computer problems, we seem to have recovered a bit. Sorry it’s taken so long to update our site!  The brick and sheetrock are complete at our house.  The builder has unofficially moved our closing date to early August.  We’re hoping to be moved by the end of August.  We have picked all of our interior colors (paint, tile, countertop, etc.) and lighting fixtures.  The next big thing at the house should be the cabinets and paint.  Molly is growing rapidly. She’s learned to sleep through the night on top of Janie’s face!

Construction on our house has started, and it’s moving very quickly!  It’s much quicker than Janie or Brian expected.  As of today, we have most exterior and interior walls in place, and expect to have a roof in the next few days.  It’s practically a full time job trying to keep up to speed with the progress (then updating all the pictures)! We’ve met several of our neighbors and everyone is very nice and excited about all the progress.

Next week, we visit with the decorator!  More decisions!

Well, we have signed on most of the dotted lines for our house!  Our closing date is set for October 2, but that’s not 100% set in stone.  We’ve started picking colors, with brick and mortar being the first pick.  The brick looks similar to another house in the neighborhood.  We have our new address, but because we won’t use it for another six months, we’ll save it for later.  We’ll keep you posted!
