This new house


Well to our surprise we will be closing on our new house way sooner than what we had anticipated. Our original date was June 6th and now it is April 30th. We plan to live here at our rental until the middle of next month giving us a couple of weeks to get the new house painted and prepared for the move.

We met with the landscaper yesterday. We have chosen to have a full yard of sod which is so lovely and plush. I would post a picture of the completed exterior but that will have to wait until closing.

They have all of our cabinets, hardware, lights, etc. put in. Now they are just working on the finishing touches. The carpet will go in at the beginning of next week, the landscaping will be done next Tuesday and then WOW we will be just about done. This has been a wonderful blessing for Brian and I as many of you know what we went through with our old house and all of the repair. To know that when we move in there will only be fun things to take care of. Well, painting is not exactly fun but it is better than tearing down walls and gutting bathrooms.

I will take some pictures this weekend of the inside and I will post them for your enjoyment. OK for my enjoyment because I just love looking at all of my new toys in our new house. We are planning on having a house warming party for you all to come and celebrate with us.

We found out last weekend that a couple we used to go to church with their son and his family live right beside of us and have 3 children as well. They are super sweet and looking forward to us moving in. Their little boy is Lilly's age and also in kindergarten the other two children are a little older than our boys. We met our other neighbors and they are very pleasant as well. We already have a babysitter signed up who loves a couple of houses down from ours. God has been so good to us. Thank you Jesus!

Now that the paint has been decided upon I do need some help finding so really cool wall paper. We are wall papering the bathrooms but the only place that I have been able to locate it has been Lowes. If you know of some places here in Charlotte please share them with me.
