Long Time, No See

WOW! I cannot believe how fast time has flown! Adam and I have been EXTREMELY busy and unfortunately some things in our life have been placed on the back burner, AKA the house blog! We got locked out and really had no way of getting in! We had our inspection and it went really well! The day after our inspection we had our first walk through with the builder! When we arrived the crew was already working on fixing things that we found on our inspection! I was impressed by the turn around! We have one more walk through before closing and then the house is OURS! Wednesday morning we have our final walk through and if all is well we will go ahead and close that afternoon! I cannot believe how fast time has flown and that it is finally here! My parents are coming down on Wednesday to help us move and I cannot begin to thank them enough! We have slowly started the packing process and have been living out of boxes for the past week or so! Here are some pictures!!!

Before the countertops were put in.

Love the lights! 

Husker 'N' that my Mom made for our front door! Mine will actually be a red football because our door is brown!

Hey there, Carpet!! 

This sink makes me want to do dishes!

Fancy mail box that doesn't need a key! 

New bar stools that were crazy on sale! 

Beautiful wood floors.

Adam's Mom helped us purchase this beautiful sectional for our "Entertainment Room"! Thank you so much for the house warmer gift, Jean! 

New piece of art for somewhere in our house! I want to put it over the piano because it has pieces of sheet music that has been painted over!

Appliances and countertops with back splash! 

Love how it all turned out!

Countertops with under cabinet lighting!

The Island with lights.

All done! I love our little house!

Hello, again! Sorry for the delay! Adam went last night and saw that we had some landscaping done! We also had air conditioning and sprinklers! I can no longer go to the house on Monday nights because I have Huntsville Community Chorus! It has been challenging to get into the house too because it is LOCKED and I mean LOCKED (windows, doors, etc.)!!!

Where The Sidewalk Ends

Our sidewalk and drive way were poured earlier this week! We have been so busy I have not had time to post the pictures! We also went today and we are officially LOCKED OUT! But the workers were working in it so we snuck in! We have tile floors in the bathrooms and laundry room, and we have our cabinets!! We also have our pillars outside! Woo hoo! It is coming together!

These were taken earlier this week! Drive way!


The dirt is ridiculously red/orange! It stains, too! 

Pillars! They are super heavy duty! A lot nicer than I expected! 

Love the tile/cabinet combination in the bathrooms! 

I love the dark cabinets! They are pretty! 


We chose a darker tile for the laundry area because that is where most of the mud will be tracked in!  (We should have chosen red tiles with the kind of dirt we have down here!) 

Oven/microwave and then fridge will go along this wall! 


Sink and dishwasher will be on this set of cabinets! 

Master bathroom cabinets and floors! We will have a double sink!
