Our House...In The Middle of Our Street...

So, every single time I say "our house", I think of that cheesy 80's song....oh well...it is going to be move-in day soon, and then it really will be OUR HOUSE!

So, I don’t want to get too excited yet, but we are targeting an October 1st move-in date! Our builder is going to try and honor that, and make it happen. I hope he does!!




So, we have been working this week (so far) on glazing the walls and finishing the tile backsplash. I am excited because in two weeks we have carpet scheduled for install, and that will be the last thing we do before we move in! Anyways, here are some pics of the glazing and then the kitchen backsplash & above the stove.

Sorry that the quality in the pics isn't as good- I used my phone, and it doesn't have a flash...but it gives you a taste of the walls & tile in the kitchen.

We also had a bunch of the appliances delivered yesterday, so they will be installed this week- which is exciting to me- then, the kitchen will totally look like a real kitchen! Yay!

I can’t wait to get to live there!

Quick Catch Up!

So, I have been busy lately. We have been up to our eyeballs in construction related decisions, activities and the what-not. Then, add on to it, keeping up with school & work, two football teams, and trying to keep our house we are living in up to par, and well, we have been exhausted!




But I am very excited- my dishes for the new house have been delivered! Yay!

I love them- they are ultra-light, break & chip resistant, and a classic look. Plus, they are white….I KNOW, white seems BORING, but white is also very easy to mix & match in color accents, vintage and new pieces, and I would love to get an old fashioned white glass cake plate. I think it would be so fun!





Last night was the 1st night of ballet. It was so wonderful to be dancing simply for the sake of dancing last night. I am hoping it will do things to improve my posture and my overall shape. I am not a fan of round! ;o)



Next week will be 9 months to go on the wedding. It is crazy how quickly time is flying by, My friend is getting married in 1 week, which is crazy to think about. It feels like yesterday she was texting me pics of her ring and coming in my office to show it to me, and we were so giggly & happy. Now, the time is almost here! I am so excited for them!



So, because things are so busy, I am going to cut this one short…but I will write more soon…I promise!
