It's The Final Countdown...almost

Today's post is going to be a lot of photos of the new house. I know we are supposed to "love people, not things," but I cannot help LOVING our new house as it comes together and our dreams take shape!

siding is taking shape!

my kitchen cabinets!

master bedroom (dk blue)  looking into the master bathroom (green)

Guest bedroom + closet (trim will be stained a dark walnut/cherry color)

Stone selection for around our fireplace! A last-minute addition that will be really great!

Someone left us our first housewarming gift...two patio chairs and a small patio table...in our dumpster...

The house is coming along! Following the house building schedule, the house should be complete near November 12th, and then we should hopefully be able to close that following week. It is really going to be a test of my patience to contain my excitement before we can move!!

04 Be Patient

04 Be Patient

At least that is what my Caribou cup sleeve said today. It is part of the "Find all 20 ways to care" program for the Celebrating 20 years with 20 ways to care associated with the Amy's Blend program. 

I am pretty sure that once my coffee is done this morning I will remove the sleeve and post it next to my work calendar, where I have penciled in our new house count down. I marked off the days to when our house should be finished (37). Add anywhere from 2-7 days after that for closing and we should be in our home on or around November 19th.

We have been visiting the house site every couple of days to watch the progress, take photos and just live in the moment of our exciting project. I look forward to having all of my things in one place, being able to decorate and take my things out of storage. 

I will say, that camper living has been alright overall. I am on day 102 (I believe) of living in the camper. There is something to be said for "living small." This is our last full week, and upcoming weekend of being at the Mississippi Riverwood RV park. The place is starting to resemble a ghost town - many residents have been packing up and heading south, or back to their homes in town (yes - there are people with campers in this park that live in their regular homes less than 5 minutes away. Trust me, it boggles my mind and makes me laugh at the same time).

So here is to being patient for the things worth waiting for!
