House 11-29-2010

We were able to start moving things into the house on Friday. It is so unreal to think I am lucky enough to live in such a great house. I am so grateful, I can't wait! We are hopefully going to be able to close tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. So we will be able to actually live in our house probably by Thursday. It is all so exciting, I can hardly believe this is really happening. On a sad note. We were not able to get our 4% rate we had originally locked, instead we have to settle for 4.25%, which don't get me wrong is still great, but it would have been nice to have had since we are financing more than we had originally planned. But it is all good. Three more days and counting. :)

I AM OFFICIALLY STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW. My house is not finished and my lock expired on Saturday. It is now thursday and I know we got an extension on our lock, but I do not know how long it was so I have no idea when this new one will expire. It is costing us money everyday the house is not finished that we had to extend our lock and now I just found out we may not be able to extend it again. And the rates are .375% higher than when we locked. Who knows how much more a month that is going to cost me on my mortgage if we have to have the higher rate. I am so frustrated. The house should have and could have been finished a week if not more ago. But no. There were days when the house sat untouched and nothing was done to it for days at a time. And now it is really costing me.
And on top of that I was just barely told I have to have my $3050 bond purchased with the bank before we get our occupancy on the house. Why did no one tell me this weeks ago?!

House 11-12-2010

The mantel got put in today and Rusty and Brian Rocked the fireplace front that night. JIllion and I were watching all the kids at my parents, but they were getting bored so we went to see how the dad's were doing. The kids had fun running around and playing hide and go seek in the empty house. But it was taking longer that planned. the kids wore themselves out and the last one finally fell asleep around 11:00.
They were making pretty good time, but it then took them 30-40 minutes to put in the last three pieces.

The kids all passed out in front of the project of the night.

Alexis hair cut

She doesn't look very happy in this picture, but she was actually really excited to get her hair cutu. It was all her idea. I was not really very happy about it. She really wanted it shoulder length, but i could bare to let her go that short.



She looks cute no matter how long her hair is, but I do have to say it isn't as much fun to do and I am much more limited to the things I can do with her hair these days.
