Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this time of year ... the food, the family gatherings, the change of weather. Brian and I enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's. We ate so much food... we couldn't resist, though. I made my first pie ever, which actually turned out pretty good (thanks to my mom). I struggled a little with rolling the crust, but with my mom's guidance - everything worked out. Brian was a trooper and ate a piece of pie (even though he's not a pie fan). He thought it was really good. Gosh, I love that man! :-) We hope to have Thanksgiving at our house next year.

We went by the house tonight (again) to take some pictures. The weather dropped 10 degrees within an hour, so it got cooler, quickly. The weather was nice at 64 degrees. We noticed our front door was painted and we now have a stove/range in our kitchen. Every time we visit, the house looks better and better. It's hard to describe just how excited we are about the house. We are so antsy to move in. A month left until the big day.

Approximately 4 weeks left!

Another week has passed... we really like how the carpet looks in the bedrooms. Gutters look good too. The inside of the house was a bit weird. It looked like someone came in and threw white paint balls randomly on the walls. We assume that the workers did another coat of paint on the ceiling and are going to do another coat of paint on the walls soon to "fix" the mess. My mom accompanied us on our trip to Ruskin. She saw the house and our storage unit... we had to bring the fans and a few more boxes to storage. There's still so much to do in the next few weeks...

The house is almost complete...

Brian and I are so excited about our new home. We can't wait to move in next month! We signed the contract back on April 1st, so it seems as though this process has taken FOREVER. But, it's been great to take part in the process from beginning to end - picking the colors, fixtures, etc... And while we've enjoyed our 3+ years in our apartment, December 20th can't come soon enough. We're ready for this new stage in our life together. Ruskin, here we come!
