House Update

It has been a while since I have updated this little blog of mine! I miss blogging but really do not have the time to keep up daily right now. Life will slow down a ton in about 2 weeks and I can't wait!!

We are now within 2 WEEKS of closing!!! We went by the house this past Sunday and there is still a lot that needs to be done. Our builder promises they don't miss closing dates so we feel confident they will finish. We are going back out tomorrow and expect it to be almost complete!! 

This is walking in the front door, love the tile!

Master bath

Kitchen almost done
Few days later, backsplash put in

We have grass, trees, and flowers!

This was Acey's 2nd time out to the house. When Chris left her site, she freaked!

Back of the house

Even though this process has been LONG, I can't believe it is almost here. Words cannot express my excitement!!
