TWILIGHT!!!!!

So, totally went to the midnight showing of Twilight at the District...loved it!! I went with Gilbs, Johnny, Mom and aunt Fralinka (yes...those are nicknames).

***EDITED***HUGE UPDATE!!!!! Exciting but Stressfull!

Okay...so....our HUGE UPDATE was a false alarm...our realtor sent us an email saying our house was going to be done by December 4th...and our superintendant had told us a week and a half before that it would be done end of December. So...being stressed about this conflicting information I contacted our contact at Holmes Homes and he said that our closing dates are between December 19th-23rd...so we should hopefully close before Christmas but at least its not as soon as we thought.

As for our condo going up for sale...that will be tomorrow...so seriously...any interested buyers check us out at utahhomes.com!

End of December...what?!

So on Thursday, October 30th, Justus and I did our pre-sheet rock walk through with our superintendent of our build job. We asked him what he thought the dealine was for our house to be done. We've been thinking maybe January at the earliest or February....he laid it on us

END OF DECEMBER!!

We were totally shocked, but really excited. What a great anniversary/Christmas present that could be this year! After the walk through everything looked great. We went back this weekend and wanted to see the progress and this is what we found....

(I have a bunch of pictures of when it was all framed, but I figured unless you really know what the layout is, you probably wouldn't know what I was showing you)

Above is the living room off the entry way and also the front closet next to the stairsIf you continue through the front room you'll see our family room and dining area (can't really see the dining space I know)

This is our kitchen

Here's a better shot of the dining area and the family room and the doors to our side yard

I know...this is a terrible picture of the master bedroom....I wasn't standing in a great place so the room looks tiny!!

When you walk in the master bedroom we have a little "knook" for a table or shelves and then our walk-in closet

This is wear our double vanity will be....I accidentally deleted the picture of the rest of the master bath...so I'll hopefully get another one soon

This is the second bath upstairs

This room is going to be our office (again a terrible angle that I took the picture from)

This is the third bedroom for whatever

This is the upstairs hallway. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom door, off to the left is the stairs and the doorway to the laundry room

This is an exciting picture! They already started our exterior!! The house that is about a week ahead of ours had their exterior painted last week. So hopefully by my next post you'll get to see our colors!!

The Progress Continues!!

The Framing Process

So I know that some of these pictures aren't the best quality...but sometimes you only have your camera phone available! But they are definitely kicking butt on our house!! Its getting up really fast! Hopefully we don't run into any problems selling our condo...we will be putting that on the market next week...so if anyone is insterested...let me know!!

Just a reminder

The Next Step...

So after you get a hole dug for a house they put in your foundation!! Justus and Connor went out to our lot a week after our hole was dug and they found that the foundation was already put in!! Hooray!

Above is a shot from the front of our house

This is Connor by the lake (he's doing his pirate eye)
Connor was so entertained by Day Break. Justus and him played on "the beach" at the lake and even built a sand castle! Justus said he also saw all the parks that they have built throughout the neighborhoods and wanted to play on one (even though it was very cloudy and close to storming). But they pulled off at a park and played on all the toys that were there. Apparenlty Connor said "I love it here!" So its definitely going to be a great place to live! We are so excited! Our sales agent at Holmes Homes told our realtor, Claudia, that our house is 90 days out. Now my dad is in construction so he said add at least another month or two on the end of that, espcially since its going to be in the winter months. So Justus and I are thinking February!
