The house is coming along quickly now.  It should be done in about 6 weeks.  I have no idea how I am going to get everything packed by then.  It's strange, but it just doesn't seem real yet.  I am of course excited but I think leaving is going to be really hard.  We have lots of memories here and I love our neighbors.  I will miss them, as well as our daily walks and our park up the street.  But on to bigger and better (hopefully) things!  These pictures don't really do it justice.  It is starting to look like a home and we are really happy with the way things are turning out.  I think my favorite thing right now is the landscaping.  It has just started, but the trees that have been planted and the dirt that's been sculpted make it so much more intimate and inviting.  It is starting to look like a home!!!  The cabinet doors and drawers aren't in yet because they still need to be stained.  In the next few weeks they will be putting in our hardwood floors, installing the rest of the lights, finishing up tile work, putting railing on the deck and the stairs inside, finishing the outdoor kitchen, and putting in the granite.  After that we've got toilets, faucets, and finishing the landscaping.  Seems like a lot for 6 weeks, but we're told that's a realistic number!  Wow...can't wait to see the finished product!!!
