Well, in the time it's been since I last posted, we've started building a house. What was I THINKING?!? No, in all honesty, it's been such a great experience. I wish it wasn't plopped down in the middle of go-live craziness at the hospital (nothing better than working 12-hour days for weeks on end) and a certification trip to Madison (GAWD I hope I passed that test) and of course today Colleen found out she is in survey. Her survey team rolled in at 7am on Father's day. Who does that?
But the house building process has been SO much fun. Watching our dream home arise out of plans and stacks of papers and paint chips is so rewarding. It's my first home but I think I just may build from now on. We go almost every day and oohh and ahh over the changes in just one day. Yesterday I went after a week away for work and all of a sudden the outside is painted, we have wood floors, cabinets and trim is coming in. YES! That trim I threw a hissy fit over (and ended up paying $1k for, thank you very much) is beautiful and well worth it.
Only 10 more days until close and I'm counting them down. One more week of work until my "vacation" to get ready to move...anyone want to come for a moving party? I'll provide the boxes, truck and beer!!
