Our HOUSE!!!

Here's the basement! If they don't finish the house, we could have a nice pool!
We have a two car garage! Well, kind of.
YEA! The first floor is just about done!

The bedrooms officially have walls...

HOLY COW! It actually looks like a house!!!
Many of you have been asking how our house is coming along. Well, here you go! It's coming! I think most of you know that we are building a house. We feel very blessed and grateful to be able to not only buy a house right now, but build one from the ground up. We've had so much fun picking out the carpet, flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, wall color, light fixtures, fireplace colors, outside colors, etc. Sean's worried that I'll never be satisfied with a used house, because I love having a say in the design! It really has been great.

Our house is supposed to be finished in October, ready to move in on the 20th. We're actually feeling very confident that things will be done when we expect them to be. It is a two story house with a full basement. It has four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and plenty of space for us to grow into. Sean's favorite part of the house is the porch! Mine is the kitchen.

We'll continue to post some pictures along the way, but it will probably look like this for the next two months or so. If anyone wants to come visit good old Columbus, we'll have plenty of room for company!!! Everyone is welcome!
