Building the Dream: We’re Moving In!

This is the week that we can start to breathe.

All of our inspections passed and we are picking up our occupancy permit TODAY!

My dad and step-mom are picking up the kids tomorrow and keeping them for a few days so that we can start moving.

We are going home!

Welcome!

The past week has just been about finishing touches. Our contractor and his son are still working this week to touch-up paint and trim, install mirrors, and closet shelves, but for the most part it is ready and move-inable.

Once we are in, I will take you on a tour room by room, for now I will just show you some highlights.

I think our master suite is my favorite part.

Yesterday the counters were installed and the fireplace was hooked up. Sorry for the horrible phone pictures of the kitchen, I forgot the camera!

The kitchen is not really blog-ready because we still have to build a range hood and put the trim around the cabinets, but it is fully functional. Woot-woot!

(I swear it looks better than this in person. I’m actually embarrassed to show you this picture.)

On Monday the landscapers came and seeded our yard, so now there is a layer of grass seed and straw mulch to cover up all this mud.

I cannot wait to finally be in this house and settle down. For good.
