Today (Tuesday) we did our walk-through of the house! It's beautiful! :D Final walk-through will be the morning of closing. The beautiful wood floors were unveiled (actually they're laminate, we found out today--cudda fooled us)-they had taken up the protective brown paper. It's a lot of Swiffering, but when I'm done, I'll know it's clean!!
We went through each room with the builder and looked for imperfections or things that weren't what we expected. The company is great and will not hesitate to change anything we like. A couple of special things we'd asked for weren't there, b/c they changed builders mid-build and some things got lost in the cracks, but they assured us everything could be fixed by closing date (Wednesday a week from now). We were impressed how many things they caught that we didn't...everything from little dents in the wall or drywall imperfections.
The appliances aren't in yet, and they haven't done their final spic-and-span cleaning, but we got a very good idea of how it would look.
I never did get those curtains done and it looks like I won't, so we'll make do with a few mini-blinds in places until then. Wednesday, while I'm teaching, Jeff will move our current living stuff out there, and we're planning to sleep on an inflatable mattress until we can do our actual move on that Saturday. Can't wait!! We're going to be too excited to sleep! :)
Just eight more days...it should go fast! And, good news on our VW Bug that has been "coming" for the last month...it's in and can be available probably by this Monday. :)
Happy, happy. :)

Oh how exciting! 8 days will go by quickly! It sounds like you have a great company to fix what you want. Can't wait to see the final house pictures. Take it easy moving in! You don't need to overdo it.

Happy Dance, Happy Dance. So So Happy!!! I'm in Ecclesiastes now and Solomon is advising me to live life for God and rejoice and be glad for all that we have been given! SO Happy!!!
By the way, I'm secretly happy about the curtains: I was looking forward to helping you soon!
Emmie dear,
Soooo Happy for you!!!
Please be praying-Will has to tell the Columbia people something in less than a week...
Hey Elizabeth, there's a study on Ecclesiastes you can download for free on http://www.jimberg.com/messages.php#secrets. This guy is a great teacher & went to our church in Greenville...anyway, it might be helpful!
Thanks everyone...I think Jeff & I are going to have a praise service the first night, just the two of us! It's amazing how much God has been teaching us this year...and even in the last couple of weeks. We're learning that we don't need to be in control...that we need to stop trying to control everything and turn to God. I'm pretty sure God has been telling us both, "hello, you need me." I'm glad He cares enough to get our attention.
Praying about Will's job and your big decision, Laura...remember God is in control, and works all things for our good. :)
I'm so happy for you! Just a few more days! (Just wondering, what color VW Bug did you pick?)
It's gecko green :)
