House 2.0

We started the building process of House 2.0 back in early November. We got to pick out a house, the elevation, the plot of land it sits on and then all the finishing! Its an exciting process but at the same time overwhelming because its hard to visualize the conception of everything coming together.

We had lots of meetings over flooring and lighting. We have gone back and forth on color and design. Seriously its harder than it sounds.

We broke ground on January 25th and the process has been in top gear. We visit the house every Saturday morning and it blows my mind each time at how fast they are moving.

Week 1. 

Week 2.

Week 4.

Every time we pull up the street I gasp and my heart grows 10 sizes. Its still very surreal and I count my blessings each day because its only by the grace of God that we have been able to get to this point in life. I am thankful and so grateful for being able to accomplish this at this point in my life.

Ruffing it on a sudsy Monday

Hope you had a happy new year! We have spent the last 3 days unpacking and getting our life in order. The apartment is slowly coming together, we have the bathrooms, the kitchen, the office and part of the living room together. We still have a ridiculous amount of things to still get done and some how we manage to always come home hauling something up to the apartment if we leave to run errands. Tonight is my first time at a laundromat. The apartment charges you to use the wash and dry in the basement and we figured it would be cheaper to go to a laundromat. Let me tell you it is not that much cheaper. We forgot our detergent an had to purchase dinky box ones from the vending machine which left us short change and a load that will have to wait for next time. This task will take a bit to grow on me, I think it's because I have been spoiled with an in-home laundry up until now. I love the idea of being out an about away from all the packing though. It's kind of like a mini field trip. Ohhhh and how can I forget to mention that I made Belgium waffles for the first time ever this morning. I won't lie they were the BEST!!
