The Very Next Day...

The workers weren't there this morning, so Barry and I were able to do a walk through. This was my second one in less than 24 hours and his first in about 7 days.


I really wanted this trash can feature. I hate seeing trash in the kitchen.

Update on closing: New date: May 15th!

Landscaping!

To my utter delight, Tamika and her daughter met me at the house today for a walk thru. We had a great time. Tamika loves to take pictures as much as I do. :-)


Guess what we pulled up to? Trees...grass...tan colored paint!


Tamika loved the crib. LOL


We've been friends for over 20 years. Wow!


The kitchen....



View from the front door. I didn't even realize we'd have grass and landscaping. Guess I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought I was.


What the hay...???


Why was THIS beneath the tub?! I'm going to have to tell my salesman about that.


And what's up with the dent in the garage door? Hmmm...


I took this pic because this is the view from my office to the gameroom. From my office, I will easily be able to see Barry in his spot (the gameroom) as well as everything that's going on outside and who's coming and going. Perfect spot.


I was trying to get myself together, but my girl was ready. LOL


Office.

Latest Pictures...

Picture Dump!

Today I walked through the house with two of my favorite people in the world, Mama and Brandon. Other than the beer cans strewn about outside and in the garage, the house looks great!


Awww...


I'm glad I got the kitchen package...


Mommy's baby...


Hey world!


Mama: Brandon, you're looking real dumb... smile.
Brandon: I don't know how to smile for pictures.
Me: Think about [girl's name].


Brandon: [Smiling now.]


It was a nice idea at the time!


Home Sweet Home

Getting there...

Nothing new to report... on the path to completion!

Chillin At the House Already...

Things are progressing very quickly! We have an expected close date of May 11. Personally, I think that date is too aggressive, but we shall see.

I wanted to have a housewarming/anniversary party on May 22nd, but I think we'll wait until the first or second week in June. By that time we'll be settled in and all of the graduations, proms, and Memorial Day festivities will be over and everyone who I want to be there will be there. I'll have a full house. Two full houses actually. I'll have a housewarming for family and close friends and a housewarming for adults only.

I think I entertained my first "company" on Monday when Leslie met me at the house. I knew she'd be down for a walk through. We had a great time catching up and toasting and LAUGHING. She didn't want me to take any pics of her...



But of course I ignored that. :-)



Another girlfriend passed by while Leslie and I were in the back "yard". I hate I missed her. That would have almost been a get together and I don't even live there yet. LOL The neighbor's were speaking; the kids were playing outside, and I felt like I'd already closed. I'm ready to move.





So here's the home as of today. I put in a call about that white siding because I don't think I ordered white. Hmmm... If I did, let's hope it looks good with the landscaping design.


Is this the same?

Regardless, I can deal with it!!

Breaking and Entering on Easter

Yes, I coerced Barry into passing by mi casa late last night. Hey, we were already out and it wasn't too far out of the way. Ooh we, B was tired though. Bless his heart. :-)




I wanted to drop by after the workers left so we could see the brick. Only problem...couldn't see it very well in the dark.

So... this morning I tip toed out before everyone woke up so I could see the brick and venture inside and take my t-i-m-e looking around. I used to worry about driving by all the time until my friend, Tamika, freed me from that guilt. She said, "Girl, are you crazy? That's YOUR house. You can pass by your $_____ house any time you want to!" I took that advice and ran with it.






Look at all those cans. If they leave any in the walls, I will HUNT THEM DOWN. :-|

Bricks, Bricks, and More Bricks

The bricking process is underway!




NO fear right here! lol
