After many months of building, shopping and cleaning I am finally ready to unveil the house as it looks today. Yes there are plenty of spaces that still need to be filled and decorated...but what do you expect when you move from 1900 square feet to almost 4500?! We are still painting and looking for art to fill the massive expanse of wall space but over the holiday weekend I managed to get some family photos hung up so the house if finally starting to feel like someplace we actually "live" instead of just where we fall asleep each night.

I keep thinking I'll find the time to go back and "update" the blog to reflect each step of the final closing on the house. The problem is...I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME! So the longer I wait to catch up the blog...the more there is to write about, and the more time I need to be able to write. So instead I'm just going to put in the photos of the house right after we closed and moved in and then try to keep it current while we continue to unpack and decorate.

Due to a death in the family and an unexpected trip back to Idaho for services we are a bit behind in updating the site. The good news is that the Jason and his crews have been hard at work and we should be closing on Thursday (...that's 3 days from now!) and then life should return to some sense or "normal".

Believe it or not...we are just over two weeks out from closing! I'm a bit nervous that we are going to make it on time but Jason says it will get done. He doesn't want to come back the week after Christmas to finish it up...so I'm taking his word for it.

Front of the house is looking good!

Not a whole lot to report on but I do have a few new photos to post.
