It coming right along...

The master now has it furniture (and was it heavy!!!)

Kim is making herself at home taking up the entire closet already, she has had lot of funny digging out her skinny clothes that did not fit prior to her now almost 60lbs weight loss!!! GO KIMMY GO!

The Girls are making themselves at home too, Libby just wants to play ball and Winnie is her protector...now if they could only run in the yard but no fence yet!

We have boxes everywhere, we are looking forward to getting it all done to be settled. We are awaiting our first guests still...all are welcome, we would love to see you. Dan and Kim

We Are Moving in!

Kim spent the day unpacking the kitchen


She made a bit of progress (and a mess)

With some help from family and friends, all the furniture and boxes are in. Dan put up the ceiling fan tonight.

I never thought i would see my garage this clean AFTER we moved it. And we probably wont ever again, tomorrow the concrete guys are coming out to put on the epoxy floor finish so i had to load all my junk back out of the garage for 4 more days!

Home Sweet Home

Well, We closed on our house 1 week ago today. It is becoming more like HOME!! The painting is almost all finished (what rooms we are painting for now, we'll finish the other bedrooms and office later). Today we started moving in furniture and unpacking. I unpacked several boxes in the Kitchen. Ahhh, this feels like HOME!!! We put together our bed, so....WE are sleeping in our new house for the first time TONIGHT!!! We even brought Winnie and Libby to the house today, this was their first time here. They are still getting used to everything, a lot of new smells to check out! Moving is a slow process, but We are happy. Love, KIM

Moving Right Along...

Crown looks great finished, and man do i love that olive!

"I love it when a plan comes together!"

The Hallway color is caslled hot chocolate!

Upstairs Hallway getting trimed out with the first coat of paint

Color makes it a home....

Olive makes a nice look in the formal living and dining room....

Kim chose "Almond fugde" and "Lyndhurst Duchess Blue" for the master....Now if we only had some furniture in there we could stay in the house. For now we continue to stay at Val and Wayne's house. Maybe we will break out the airmattress and stay a night or two till we can get the painting finished!

Crown is in!!!! Thanks to Pappa's help

Paint time next....

Ever wonder about the phrase "Dropping the kids off at the pool"?

Kim, Ruth and Haley having a good time painting the pool...

Haley says it is like being in a swimming pool...

Ruth looks hungry....please don't eat my paint!!

Does kinda give you that underwater/on the water feel.....

Now the painting begins...

Kim spent a ton of time picking out the colors to use...here is the Carmel honey for the kitchen...
Nice first coat


looking great....

DONE!!!! WE ARE IN! Make Your Reservations NOW!!!

Kim is knocking on the actual door!!!

Despite all the signing and being on the hook for the next 30 years we are smiling!!!

We are HOMEOWNERS!!!

Thank you for your prayers today, as we had a very smooth closing!!
There are few little things that the builder still has to finish in the next week.
My mom and I spent a good bit of the afternoon putting the first coat of paint in the kitchen. I was all set to take some pictures, but my camera isn't working. So I'll have Dan post some soon. To keep with my tradition of LOVING colorful walls, I am painting the Kitchen and "Carmel Honey" (or goldish yellow). The Family room is going to be a burnt red (somewhat of a terracotta color). The living room/dining room will be an olive green. Our master bedroom is going to be Dutches Blue and Almond Fudge (or gray blue with a light brown). We haven't quite nailed down or agreed upon the colors of the other rooms. We'll post some pictures as soon as we get them.
The guy came from Lowe's and installed our Window Blinds. I am waiting (as I type) for the cable/Internet guy to come. The PODS were delivered today!! Our fridge will arrive on Monday.
Dan and I both have to work tomorrow (Saturday). And The Franklin Graham Crusade is here this weekend. So I don't think we will be doing much more on the house till Monday. But come Monday...we are going to be in full gear to get things done, so we can move our stuff in.
We are so thankful to my parents who have let us move back in and stay with them through our building project. Not to mention how my mom is helping us paint.
Dan and I are very excited to get into our home!! And we can't wait to have y'all visit.
More to follow soon!!!
KIM
