house update

we've started to see a lot of progress on the house and it makes time feel like it's moving so much faster. from the time that we signed the paperwork to the time that the builders actually started building felt like forever. at this point, i think i might actually be able to make it 3 more months in this apartment! :)

when michael and i checked out the house on sunday afternoon, the first floor was framed. this is what we pulled up to on wednesday evening. a framed second floor!

a framed second floor plus sheet rock going up on the outside with a couple of windows.

on friday, after michael played golf, we drove by for another check...i think it's looking like a house!

a close up view.

a view of the back. those three windows look into the master bedroom and the two windows to the right, the family room.

this is a view of the inside second floor. michael is standing in the game room. to the left is a bedroom that will probably be our office. there's another bedroom further back and left. straight back from the stairs is the bathroom. what you can't see is another bedroom to the right.

view from the gameroom. what a sunset!

this is the view michael wants to see from his office. this is also the view i want to see when i'm rocking a baby to sleep (no...not pregnant). i wonder who will win...;)

a good thing to mention is that all of the lots around our house are sold and have the beginning stages of building on them. that means, the sounds of hammers and nails and blaring radios will be a little further away when i'm sleeping in those first two weeks of august.
