Sticker it Up

This morning started off with the walk through.  We were at the house at 8:00 am ready to get started.  Denson came with stickers, warranty information, and a notepad in hand.  We walked through every room with a sheet of stickers and made notes where they were needed.  We had a list, this is the first step in getting closer to closing.  I am so ready to close, and I hope that they get everything done, if we have to postpone it again I may lose my mind and my temper both things I prefer to keep in check.  We went over the outside of the house and we left, hoping that this is the first step towards the last.

Brandon had to get to work, it is Thursday after all so the boys and I headed home and got to work. There is so much left to do and even though we are almost there, sometimes like now almost just is not good enough! 

We worked pretty much until bedtime!  I also got the last of the eBay items ready to ship, I am pretty much done with that until after we move.  I have packed up eBay boxes, but for now I am just trying to get it all done.

Pre-Walk and Good Times

So this morning started pretty early.  We had to be at the new house at 8:30 for the pre-walk through.  I am not really sure what the builder is waiting on to do a punch list, since we are supposed to be closing in a little more than a week. The pre-walk went pretty good, they made another list that was just like the list that I sent them, because again they have yet to take care of any of the issues we have been addressing, some of them since day one.  Grrrr!  All I know is when this process is finished and we have a home I will be so glad.  Hopefully that will be a week from next Monday.  I guess what happens this week will give us the amswers.

After the walk through we headed to the house and got to work. I got the bookshelf in the office almost completely done, still a little bit on the top, and I got most of the crafts packed up.  I also boxed 2 boxes for eBay, I am on hold until after the move.  I still have a few things to list now, but that aside I am done.  We got the boys pool table taken down and ready for the move. 

After dinner we headed to swim with some amazing friends.  Kimy you gave us all a much needed and much deserved break from working around the house.  The boys had a great time and so did Brandon and I.  John Michael got to work on swimming some and even jumped off the diving board twice with no floaties.  Danny had a nice water gun fight, which he loves.  It was really great to hang out and see some friends and just not stress for a few minutes.  Thank you so much again!

Now we are home so may the stressing commence!

Walk Through

Sunday morning we headed to mom's early. We wanted to walk through the house and make sure there was nothing there. Then it was on to storage. This is where we needed help and again so many friends came through. Thank you all.
I was pretty convinced that Metro would add a sign to their location about children. The kids had so much fun playing cops and bad guys while we unloaded the truck. This was no easy task and before we could begin we had to rearrange the storage buildings and pray that they would be able to hold everything. Going back through these is going to be a task to say the very least. Again to Metro, thank you so much for everything you have been great to work with.
Amy and Terry and the kids came back to the house and hung out for a while. Amy even made dinner for all of us and it was so good. I know that she was exhausted after two days of helping. I cannot tell you what it meant to us, thank you.
