New Adventures!

It has been so long since I have posted anything. Here is a little recap of the last 5 years! We spent 5 years in a beautifully built house, but it never really felt like our "Forever Home". We were always looking for more land to fit our family better. In November 2015, we began to work with a realtor and started seeking out our dream home. Because of our busy schedules, this took some time. We had all but given up when in July 2016 God provided us with the PERFECT house!

We are slowly getting settled in and making plans, something we always seem to be doing. Lol! I hope you all enjoy following along with us on this new adventure. We are pretty excited about all of the hard work in our future!

Packing Up

Things on the Lane are almost finished. We have light fixtures, countertops, appliances and bath fixtures. Our floors are being finished this weekend and should be done Monday. Electrical, paint touch-ups, mirrors and glass are scheduled for Monday as well.

We received the BEST news of all on Friday: WE GET TO MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!! Those are the words I have been waiting to hear for 6 months! We have started packing already. I cannot believe that next week at this time I will get to wake up in my BRAND NEW HOME!!! We are soooo blessed!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Lots of things are happening at the house this week. We officially have water to the house. Today Choctaw Plumbing is installing toilets, faucets, and various fixtures inside the house. Counter tops from AG&M are also coming today, along with the stone for the outside and around the fireplace. Electrical has been pushed to the end of the week. Metro Appliances delivered our dishwasher, microwave and trash compactor yesterday. Hopefully I will have some pictures next week.

Mishaps and Deadlines

So many things, good and not-so-good,  have been happening on the Lane lately. The painter are almost finished after being there 3 weeks(it was only supposed to take 2). The Hubs and I, along with some help from his parents, painted the girls rooms yesterday. Our counter tops were delivered on Thursday, only to find out it was the wrong granite and our granite had been delivered to another house. Now everything has been pushed back. Hopefully counter tops will come early this week, then plumbing and finally electrical. Todd said his goal is to have us in by Halloween. Let's hope and pray it happens.

Mom, Can We Live Here Now?

This is the question my 7 year old asked after seeing that all of the cabinets in the house had been installed. Silly girl!!! They ask when we are going to move in ALL OF THE TIME!!!! I have to admit, I am just as excited as they are.

As promised, here are the pictures of the finished cabinets. Enjoy!!!!

China Cabinet in the Dining Room

Kitchen

 Lockers by the Garage entrance

(my FAVORITE thing)

Computer desk

4ft x 4ft Chalkboard area

(should be painted this week or next)

Laundry Room

All Trimmed Up

The tile in the master bathroom is complete so we have now moved on to the trim work, which consists of baseboards, closet layouts, pantry shelves and cabinet installation. Cabinet delivery was delayed a day so the trim work began a day late. Upon inspection of the cabinets, we discovered they had been built for 10ft ceilings; we have 9ft ceilings. So the cabinet guys came and picked up the upper kitchen cabinets, about 4-6, and took them to be redone. As of yesterday, the cabinets were being installed, the chalkboard area had been framed in, lockers in the mud room were completed and the windowsills and baseboards were all finished. Today they should be working on the closet shelving. They have a lot of their tools and wood in the house so it is hard to take pictures. But as soon as they are finished I will let everyone see.

More Pictures

When I posted yesterday I only put up the pictures from my video camera because my phone would not cooperate and let me download pictures to my computer. My son, somehow, figured it out today(he's 15 months!!!!). So here are a few more pics to look at.

The tile is almost done. They mis-measured and had to order more so it may be finished next week. Next up: Trim and Cabinets!!!!!
