House News

OMGoodness-it has been awhile! Between closing out the school year, moving into a duplex, and chasing an almost 2 year old around, life has been crazy! I don't have a whole lot to blog about, but I wanted to at least post some pictures of our new house. As most of you know, we are in the process of building a home off of 98th and Elkhart. We are super excited because our closing date was set today for July 17th! That means that we will be able to move in prior to school starting-very good news for me!! :)

Here are a few pictures of where our house was and where it is now...

This was taken in mid-April



This is pretty much what it looks like now-front view



and...back view



We (okay I) :) still have some decisions to make on paint colors, but for the most part, we are done with the decision making (I hope!) It has been a fun journey, and I am so thankful for what God has provided us with. I am also thankful that my husband is a very kind and patient man when it comes to me and my decision making skills!

I'm proud of you! I've always told Sean I could never build a custom house because the decision making would send me over the edge!

I know! I was the same way Tiffany. I didn't really want to build at first-it just kind of fell into our laps at the right time. It hasn't been too bad though-I think I was expecting a lot worse so that helped!! We've used a lot of ideas/colors from another house the builder is working on (Yes-I steal ideas!! That's the only way I've stayed sane!) :)
