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!! 

Whew what a week!

Well I can tell you that it has been such a busy week, finished one show at work and started moving another one in while the other show was moving out!! Let's just say for the last week straight I have been going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. Therefore I have no pictures of the house...But so much has happened this week! They primed the outside of the house, flattened out the front yard, painted inside, put the trim around the doors, put doors on and we have all the cabinets in a bundle waiting to be installed this week! We got exciting news that our "hard" date for closing will be Oct. 29th!! So we are really excited!! Anyone off on Thursday the 30th?? We will be moving!! We can use your help! (Rich hint, hint) lol!! We booked the cruise and sent the first batch of "Save the Dates" out!! Trying to fit in time to finish those up as well! So it has been such a busy week! Well gotta run! I will try to get some pictures up this week!

Sarah and Fernando's Wedding!

This past weekend Anthony and I went to our friend Sarah's wedding. We both met Sarah while working at Gaylord Palms.  (Anthony and Sarah actually opened the Palms together!!) Sarah and I used to work at the Front Desk together and then for a short time we shared cubies in Conference Services! Sarah was a beautiful bride and the evening was great! Sarah and Fernando got married at Reunion which was so pretty! We got to see a lot of old co-workers and friends from Gaylord.  We had a great time celebrating with Sarah and Fernando! 

We have walls!!

Coming in the front door...

Looking at what is going to be the island and the dining room/living room

View toward the master bedroom

That people is my pantry...it is pretty big!!

Monday afternoon Anthony and I met with Mike, our KB Foreman and we did a "Frame" walk of the house and he told us all about the wiring and about the framing and the next steps of the house. Which is Dry wall!! So here are the pictures of the drywall!! It looks so different with walls up rather than just the framing! 

Tonight I got a phone call from one of my sorority little sisters, Amanda! So that was nice to catch up with her, she is also buying a house at this time so we were talking about our houses. Who would have thought when we met in O'Connor Hall at SUNY Delhi that 10 years later we would be talking about building houses and weddings and stuff!!  (I know you didn't cause you thought I was crazy!) lol!! Enjoy the pictures! 

It is coming along!

Sorry I have not posted in a while, work has started to get busy again since it is coming into the Fall Season....So the house is coming along! We have windows, electric, stucco, A/C, tubs and shower are in and it is so exciting to see it coming along! Today I took a picture of my neighbors house too. It is the same square footage as our home, but since we have a different front our house looks bigger. Our expected close date is October 27th.  We are super excited!!

Like I mentioned above, work is picking up, the groups are steady until Christmas, so it is going to be a very busy Fall/Winter! My sister's kids Abby and Becca started 1st grade this year and Gavin started Pre-K. They love school. Abby likes to talk on the phone and if I call in the PM Amy lets her pick up the phone and say Hello, so I think it is my sister and she will say "No, Aunt Leann it is me Abby". The other day she told me that after I was done talking to Gavin she wanted to talk to Uncle Anthony. (I was at work and Anthony was home) So I had Anthony call her and she wanted to tell him that her tooth was loose. She is so funny! Check out my sisters blog, she updated their pictures too. 

What a week!

 

Here is the start...

One day later...

Here is what the outside of the house is going to look like....

Well it has been quite a week, as you can tell these people work quick! We are so excited and go everyday pretty much to check out what is going on, today while I was walking I saw a guy working inside the house, when Anthony and I went tonight, it looks like they were working on the Island for the kitchen and some other wood work inside the house!! 

Foundation is underway!

This week they are getting ready to lay the foundation and they made it official by putting up the "Inspections" sign! 

Also, this week my mom was over in Ormond Beach with Mrs. Bodie. So last Thursday they made a trip over to Orlando to see the lot and the model house, we had lunch at BJ's at the Loop and enjoyed the afternoon! Sunday I drove over in the AM to visit mom and Mrs. Bodie and spent the afternoon over there. It is always nice to spend time with mom since I don't see her that often. (Too bad I forgot to take some pictures!!!)
