Quick update

Paul and I visited the house last night (he just could not resist the urge to see the changes that 2 days of working on it would be). It looks like the electrical is just about done... it's awesome to see where everything will be. There were some issues with a few things (fridge location, master closet, lights...), but most everything is taken care of! Yay!

We spent almost 45 minutes talking to our neighbors across the street. They are very nice, he's a fire fighter and she works in Raleigh, and they have a 2 year old daughter (she is precious!) 2 dogs and 2 cats. They seem like very nice neighbors, and they said that they've met a few other ones.

Well, that's about it for now. Still focused on the August 12th closing date! :-)

Master bathroom tub and block window. Really looking forward to this aspect of the master bathroom!

Exterior update - brick is mostly up on the front. Still wet in this picture.

Nothing new to report

Although there's not much of anything new to report, I thought I'd just add a little post. The month of June is almost over and it's getting closer and closer to the time where we'll be moving. We're still waiting to hear back from the mortgage company - we've been warned that the underwriting can take a little while, and since we're not closing until the middle of August, I doubt they'll be rushing to get ours done.

I've got to start making a list of all the things we need for the house... like blinds, towel and toilet paper holders, the fridge, rugs, furniture, paint... agh! It's craziness (and everything is so $$$!) We'll get it all together soon, we'd better!

Paul's been working at the NC plants this week. He was in Eden yesterday and he's in Raeford today. It's really, really nice to have him home for dinner. We've cooked the last 2 nights and tonight we're planning on meeting my mom and brother for dinner at the cafeteria... it's a Wednesday night tradition thing.

That's all for now. Guess I'd better attempt to be productive. It's still just a bit too early for lunch. I'll update more after the weekend (we plan to take Philip and Jenn to the house on Friday).
