We are homeowners!!

YAY!! We closed on Wed. it was a long day! We were there at Noon, and some guy fron Osceola County went to lunch and did not sign a paper and send it over so they could not give us the keys, KB Home gave us a gift card to a Darden Restaurant so we ended up going to Olive Garden to lunch...then it was making its way to 4pm and we were getting annoyed!! But, finally we got the keys and we were on our way.  Yesterday was moving day it went really well.  We started at 9am and we were all unloaded at the house by 2:30ish...so we were happy. 

          We had a few issues with a ceiling fan so I was at Home Depot for 2 hours and came home around 9pm...let's just tell you that I ended up leaving with the store model due to all the issues!! 

By 11:30pm we went back to Anthony's parents to sleep since our bed was not together yet...This morning I was up at 7am starting to unpack the kitchen, Anthony works a double today so I will be unpacking what I can while he is at work. 

            Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes and Thanks for reading our blog. We are so excited to  venture into home ownership!! Everyone is welcome to come by when you can and we will let you know when the house warming is! I will put up pictures when I can find the cord to upload these pictures!!  

Count down to Closing!

Yesterday we had our house "Orientation" walk though at 3pm. Jenn is the KB Representative that took us around the inside and outside of the house. We were explained what everything outside did and how to shut off the water, we opened every window, door, cabinet, looked in every nook and cranny. So there we are going though the house blue taping every imperfection that we see in the paint, drywall or anything that did not look perfect.
They finally fixed the "U-shape" pipe next to our drive way...not sure if i wrote about that already, they put in this pipe for the irrigation and it was like 3 inches from the driveway, so if you open the car door it WILL hit the pipes and our house was the ONLY house in the neighborhood with it that close, I was freaking out!! But, Mike our KB Foreman said they would move it, 2 weeks later it is moved and it is way over in the middle by our neighbors pipes!! YAY!!!
Even with all of our tape marks Mike from KB said we are still good to close on Wed. the 29th. He said it is all fixable very fast and we will be good for next week. So we have our final walk though scheduled for Tuesday the 28th at 4pm.
The house is really looking great and we are also starting to schedule appointments for installation, such as our fridge and microwave. I just set up the appointment for Bright House to come and hook up our Cable and Internet!! We can not wait!!! Wish us luck that in the next week all is good and we can indeed close on the 29th!!

~~ Congrats to Amanda and Daniela who also just closed on homes in the last couple of weeks!!! ~~

Amanda and Daniela are two of my dear friends and Pi Nu sisters from Delhi.

Amanda bought her house in Upstate NY and Daniela just closed on her house yesterday in the MD/DC area!! Love you girls!

Update on the house!

Finally have a minute to up load these pictures and show everyone where we are at...since these pictures they have painted the garage door and front door...those will be the next ones I load up...  This last month has been just crazy as far as work and life in general, it is slowing down which is wonderful!  Thursday the 23rd we have a walk though of the house to point out things that may need to be touched up and so on, we are scheduled for closing on the 29th!! I was able to rack up some days off from work so I am going to be taking a week off from work for moving and unpacking which is very nice that it worked out that way. I know when our friends Kristi and Tony moved into their house they were unpacking boxes everyday after work for a while!! 

We did go yesterday and buy our refrigerator and over the range microwave. So that is taken care of and one more thing to check off the list!!
