I Need a Pinch...

or a kick in the behind! I really don't think it has sunk in that we are moving in a couple of days! There is so much to do and yet here I sit typing away! I wanted to get some last pictures online before we move in and junk it up! I'm sure there will not be time later this week. It's really hard to believe that I could have had another baby in the time since we first put our home in the market (for the record, that is not to mean we are having another baby) and went through the whole process of trying to figure out where to move and what to build. I must say, the easiest part for us was actually picking everything out. The hardest part has been these last few weeks trying to orchestrate the closings, the move and just being patient. In case I haven't mentioned lately...it is no easy or stress-free task of trying to sell your house and move out with two small children under foot. It's also hard to leave the home where you brought your babies home. To not see the spot where they took their first steps or crawled ever again is a tough pill to swallow. And to top it all off, work has been insanely busy the last few weeks and it was very sad to lose a wonderful co-worker to cancer last Saturday. But we are doing our best to stay excited and not let the stress or melancholy thoughts of it all dampen our spirit!

So, here are some pictures we took at our walk-thru this morning. I would say the house is 99.9% done. There are a few little things here and there that will be fixed Monday or after we move in. We LOVE the house. Our selections came together so nicely and we really like the colors and flow of the entire house. The space is exactly what we wanted and needed and we really love the bright open feeling of the layout.

Foyer

Powder Room - also has that neat glazed finish on vanity and what you can't see is a chandelier that matches the other light fixtures on the main level.

Dining Room

Mud Room - there's a spacious walk-in closet here that you can't see, but I am very excited to have a place to put our shoes and not be tripping over them any more!
