The Chronicles of a Not So Perfect Stay at Home Mom: House Update!!!

This week has been very eventful in our house world. I have been posting a lot of pictures of the house on Facebook but I have not given an update on how things are progressing. Today we found out that we may be able to close on June 10^th which is some of the greatest news we could have gotten. As I pulled up to the house it became real to me that in a little over a week we may be able to finally move into our new home. This process has been a long one and so I did a happy dance when I pulled up to find them installing our sprinkler system. I was even more over joyed as I watched them hand lay each and every piece of sod. It was amazing how each piece came together like a puzzle and later when it was all laid and the shrubs were planted it looked very nice. I know that these all seem like small trivial things but when you have been looking for a place to call home for as long as we have its the small things that help complete this house that mean the most to us. While all the commotion was going on outside, they were working hard on the inside tightening up the odds and ends to help bring it all together. Today they finally installed the door knobs, started touching up the walls, and they painted the coffered ceiling. As the home gets closer and closer to being completed, I find myself falling more and more in love with it. It’s also exciting to see the girls enthusiasm grow as well as they notice more and more things being done in their part of the house. They have already chosen their rooms, which sink will be theirs in the bathroom, and assigned one guest rooms to their mama/papa, and the other to their auntie Erica/Uncle Terrance. At each visit they have to go through every room and see what new things have been done. They both did a little happy dance today when they pulled up and saw that they had grass in the backyard now because they hated all the Georgia red clay that they had been running through. They were also excited because it meant that Blue would now have somewhere to play as well. Haiden asked if they would be able to get some outside toys to place in the new grass. I am excited that in a few short weeks the girls will have a room to call their own and a place to run as long as they like.

So as time starts to wind down and the countdown to move in time begins, enjoy these last couple of pictures of our new home to be. There is still quite a bit to be done but I am believing God to work it all out in time. Thanks so much for following us throughout this whole process and we look forward to having many of you come visit once things are all settled. These are just a few pictures of some of the new things that have been going on over the past couple of week and I will be sure to post pictures of the completed home once we close.

Enjoy!
