3 Weeks to Go!


All engines go! After today it will be 3 weeks until the closing date of our house. THREE WEEKS?! I can not believe it! Things seem to be getting more and more real every day. We met and chatted with our new neighbors, Blake and Julie the other day and got the 411 on the neighborhood. Apparently we have a deck guy in the area, whom I'm sure we will get to know once we decide to add on an awesome grilling area in the backyard :) We also learned that there are 2 adorable sisters that live across the street, Gertrude and Mildred, I think that's what their names were. I'm sure we'll meet them sometime soon!

The pictures below are actually from a week ago. The mantle is stained, the stairway railing and banister are both up and the doors on most of the cabinets are on. However, once all of that was finished, the painters moved in and covered all of it up! We didn't get a great look at it all at once, but I'm sure once they are finished with the paint we'll get the full effect.

We have garage doors now, and the stone on the outside of the house is just about finished! We still have to get a driveway in and of course sod laid down. Since we have a small turnaround in our front yard, the city of Omaha has been delaying the process of our driveway just a tad. Hopefully the builders will have that figured out in no time!

Well...I guess that's all for tonight. Ryan and I are gearing up for a night full of errands for the house. We get to drop off our pre-closing paperwork at the bank, head to NFM for some last minute furniture shopping (more on that later), and head out to the house to measure and look at the almost finished painting! Should be a good night! Nebraskans...enjoy this beautiful weather..it should be a great night for a walk!


Hooray for garage doors!
