T-Minus 9 Days

I still don't know when we will be in our new house, but it occurred to me yesterday that regardless we have to be out of the house we live in by May 29...that's 9 days!! My worry way back of ending up homeless might actually be true! Although our builder says everything will be ready by Friday, I am having my doubts.

There is a Light!

We are getting close, really close. I think it's time to start the countdown. The only problem is I'm not sure when the end will be, although I can see the finish line! We got news today that Matt's condo should close next week and we are still on track to close on the house we live in on May 29. Let's just say I am starting to get really nervous and stressed about the move. I thought I was going to be able to start moving a little at a time to the new house, but it doesn't look like it will pan out that way! The picture at the right is of Justin, Kim, myself and Matt eating the "first meal" at the new house. We are sitting on the back patio eating Jimmy Johns on a rainy Saturday afternoon, of course it was just a lunch break for the boys while they worked on electrical.

The Shop

Dad's shop has been extra busy this spring. We have spent a number of weekends in Frankton working on a few different projects for the house. To be honest, Dad and Matt do most of the work, but the last few times, I have been assigned sanding, the best job (sarcasm). However, sanding is one of the most important jobs!

A Splash of Color

As I have mentioned, picking out paint was one of the hardest things for me to do. Being the details person I am, I was constantly thinking about the flow of the color and how it would look as you stood in one room looking into the next. After a lot of stressing, Matt and I decided on colors with the help of a friend who has an interior design background and owns the cutest boutique, Modern Charm, in downtown Terre Haute. The picture at the right doesn't really do the colors much justice, but as you can see, we chose various shades of grey (not 50, however).

Wanted: More Hours, Less Decisions

Whoa! Where has the time gone!? The last few weeks have been busy! As you can tell, its been awhile since I've written anything (with the exception of the sold post)! The last few weeks have been slow in progress with the house with an exception of the brick layers. Two weekends ago, we also went to Omaha, Nebraska to see my friend Mandy who moved out there last fall! Last week was a whirlwind with showings on our house, work life picking up its pace and decisions on the new house. I'm searching for more hours in the day and and all I'm coming up with is less sleep...which those of you who know me well, know that's not good for anyone!

SOLD!

The title of this post says it all...we accepted an offer on our house today! So technically we have inspections and the run around with bank before it's sold, sold; but the buyers are really anxious and excited to be purchasing the house. Interestingly enough, Matt knows the guy and personally showed him the house.

More Progress!

It's nice to see so much progress going on around the house! The kitchen cabinets are installed and look bea-u-tiful! I am so happy with our selection. Being the OCD organize freak I am, I have already been strategizing what I am going to put in each cabinet and each drawer!
