It's another summer day!! None of our summer days are anything of the ordinary this summer. We have camps, vacation and building our house all going on while we're living here at my Dad's.
I believe our house will be finished sometime the middle part of August. Our builder is very busy but very much on top of things...so I'm trusting his words!!
Every single time I walk through our new house, I'm amazed!! The whole process has been a learning experience for me and I'm so excited that we've had the chance to do this!!
We're leaving to go to Florida next week and we haven't even started packing. Too much excitement is leaving me daydreaming rather than working on these tasks!! Anyway!! I better get busy!!

Long time, No Blog
Well, it's been a while....let's see if I can remember where we left off:
We sold our house!! Our listing was just about to expire when a family decided to make us an offer. We were in a state of panic...cause we expected NOT to sell. So, after looking for like a week at everything that was on the market...we decided to talk with a builder and go that route. Which means...we had to find temporary housing!! My dad offered us to live at his house while we built. We are blessed!! It is a bit tight here and most of our things are in storage...but we're together and that's what counts!!
We closed on our house April 14. Our builder began the building process on May 1. Last weekend, we walked out on our foundation that had just been poured a few days before. This week it's being framed. That part goes really fast!! Probably they will have the roof on and windows installed by the end of next week. We got to pick out flooring, granite, carpet and tile this week. How fun!! I've never gotten to pick out EVERYTHING before. Our builder has a generous allowance on most items...so it's been exciting to pick out these things.
We are going on vacation in Florida in less than 2 weeks. I imagine by the time we get back the brick will be on our house and the inside will be sheet-rocked!! I'm learning all about the buiding process and feel like I'm pretty stinking smart. I know just enough to be dangerous and annoying to our builder. He has the patience of Job and always always answers his phone when I call!!
The kids are busy with camps, dance recitals, hanging with friends, working out and stuff. I love summer!! I love the free-ness I feel!! Sleeping in is nice....staying up late is nicer and not being tied down to a clock is the best!! I've started taking classes at the rec center following the brutal month of May in BOOTCAMP!!!! I went and I survived and I even lost 4 pounds and 3 inches!! So, to continue my "winning streak"...I'm sticking to working out and sort of sticking with that ridiculous bootcamp diet. I did Pilates last week and I'm sore. I'm sticking with it...but I'm going to have to incorporate some cardio to loosen up my muscles!!
We are heading to Seaworld in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to going there!! I've always wanted to visit there. We're staying in a very nice condo and then we'll make our way to the gulf side a few days later. I'm so hoping that the weather is gorgeous and the ocean is beautiful. No oil spill or red tide please!!!!
Well, I hope I update every so often....I'm using this as a personal journal while house building!!
