HOME SWEET HOME

It has been a busy week for the house... it is SO SO close to being finished. Closing is supposed to be in only 2 weeks!!! We'll see if it happens... it better. We're collecting boxes and have started packing (my least favorite part). So lets see, they put in all the faucets, showers, and mirrors, painted the trim, layed cement for the driveway ans sidewalk, and oh yeah best part WOOD FLOORS!!! They turned out perfect; we both love them so much we are seriously thinking about doing the rest of the house!! I hope to post pictures soon of carpet... appliances.. and a finished yard!! That is all thats left!! YAY!

Scott turns the big 28 !!

Scott turned 28 on Saturday, we celebrated by going to Monster Jam at the Reliant Stadium. It was a lot of fun; we'd never been before and it was really LOUD!! But Scott LOVED it!! We also were able to walk through the house and then have a picnic in the park with some friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT.... I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!!!


The house is sure coming along. Saturday they finally finished the all stone and brick, looks fabulous!! and they finished up all the tile in the bathrooms and were putting in all the lighting fixtures. So far this week they have finished the stone fireplace, which i think turned out rather nicely!! and they finished all the kitchen countertops and backsplash!! The house is so darn close to being finished I can't even believe it!! It has been so much fun and only a tiny bit stressfull!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!

What a year!!! Scott and I were very busy this last year with graduating nursing school, moving across the country and starting new jobs here in Houston. We have been busy but we have loved every minute of it. We started off the new year by falling asleep on the living room floor, so much for trying to stay up till midnight!! Yes we are that old and lame!! We are so grateful for the blessings we have in our lives. I know we are here in Houston for a reason, we haven't exactly figured out what that reasons is yet, but home is where you make it and we are happy to make this our home here for a little while. Now about the house... everyday is something new that I am nervous we will miss something on the days we can't drive by :( We were able to walk through the house tonight and they have finished all the molding and all the doors!! It looks like painting will be done soon.... they started the stone last week and it seems they may have ran out, it is almost finished, hopefully they get more soon so we can see the final project!! Only a few more weeks til move in!!! We'll keep ya posted.


Stone is almost done!
