Home

We are now officially moved in, although still unpacking. It will be a while before we are fully unpacked, but we are getting there. There are a few more deliveries still, then we will be done spending money. looking forward to relaxing soon...

Closing

We closed on the house today. It was a breeze and went off without a hitch. The builder still has a few last minute items to do, they will be doing that while we move in tomorrow. Nothing too major really.

Tomorrow is move in day. It will be a busy, busy day. The whole weekend will be. We have delivery after delivery scheduled, installation of services, we need to apply sealer to all tile and granite, setup furniture, and buy supplies (food, etc.). And, it probably won't stop there...we have weeks before we can truly settle down. It's all good though, this is great and a lot of fun.

Inspection house pics

I just put up pictures of the house we took during the inspection. There aren't too many, but you should get an idea of the completeness. We should have more pictures up after closing day. We are both taking off from work on Thursday and Friday. Thursday is closing and Friday is move in. Did I already mention this like 10 times?

We are starting to slow down in buying things for the house. The house will be almost fully furnished (minus the furniture we ordered and is coming later). We've been looking at a 52" LCD TV...the 37" we have now is just to small for this bigger house. We also bought some recycled glass plates, they look great and we are being green once again (our appliances are all energy efficient).

Just 4 more days!

Inspection and walk through

The house inspection was Thursday and the walk through with the builder was on Friday. The inspector really didn't find anything major, a few minor things only. The builder seemed to have no problem getting these things done by this coming Thursday...closing. The only major thing, that the builder pointed out himself, was that the wood floors are the wrong color. They will sand it down, re-stain it and re-do the poly in the next week.

We were hoping all the furniture we ordered would come in on time...no such luck. We ordered some custom pieces that are made in Europe, and it's going to take a while it appears. Bummer, but we will get by for now.

I'm hoping to post pictures very soon, but as you can imagine, it's a very busy time.

One week to closing

Just one week left until we close on the new house. These last few weeks a dragging...but it's coming soon. This Thursday, we inspect the house and then on Friday we have the walk through with the builder. Next Thursday is closing, Friday is move in and Saturday is a bunch of deliveries. Look for pictures of the new house soon.

Happy New Year

We are looking forward to a very exciting year.

First, the house will be done. We close in just three weeks, and we couldn't be more excited. We are preparing by purchasing the necessities (washer/dryer, blinds, etc.). Everything is lined up, now it's just the waiting (the hardest part).

Then, the baby is due April 7th. Finally, Ivonne and I will celebrate 5 years married this year, not an incredible feat, but pretty good considering how long marriages last nowadays.

I'm sure there will be other exciting things this year, but these will do for now.
