Lazy Saturday
Today is just a lazy day of catching up on shows, True Blood Season 3, posting some long overdue items on ebay for work (search for TechReplay2 to see what I’ve got for sale!), getting some All Dog Blog posts set up for the week, answer emails, and spending time with the FurKids.
I was going to do a little online shopping, but believe it or not my horoscope said to watch my spending, so I’m not even going to look around! :) It’s really taking all of my will power!
We heard back about the house on Tuesday, and they’ve bumped us into early August, instead of our preferred closing of Mid-July, so that sucks. Oh well, I guess it gives us a little bit more time to save some dough, for the things we’ll need or want to buy: washer/dryer, new bedroom set, fence, maybe a new living room set, over the stove microwave, garage door opener, etc. Just to name a few things! lol
Here’s a photo of the model we chose in the subdivision!
It will look very similar to this, similar colors, etc. The porch will come down and be above the front door (in-between front-door and window), and we won’t have the pillar. I’m so incredibly excited I can barely stand it anymore! Lowell can’t either. We talk about it constantly, and we just can’t wait until they actually start laying down the foundation, and start building.
It’s almost agonizing at this point, considering we started this whole process in October.
I can’t wait till I can actually start posting photos of the actual build.
This is our first house, and I’m so grateful that we have this opportunity to build and design what we want. Thankful that we both have good jobs to support both our dreams and build our dream home at such a young age.
In other great news, Lowell is about to be in Uncle for the first time next month! And I’ll be an Aunt! Mid to late May, Lowell’s little sis, Kelly and her husband Scott, are having a little baby boy they’re naming Benjamin Thomas! We’re planning on going out to Oklahoma when he’s born and I’m sure I’ll share that news with you guys and post some pics of the little guy too!
Isn’t that the most precious photo! I wish they lived closer, and we miss them so much! Scott is an officer in the Army, and they recently just moved there so he could finish his training.
We can’t wait to go visit and spend some time the both of them, and meet our new nephew!
Time to take a shower, run some errands with LJ, and get some more work done! Still have lots of items to post, and lots of posts to write for the blog.
Until later…
