This past weekend was a great one - mostly because we had our daugter baptized, but we also got a sneak peak of what our house will look like when it's framed. Well, sort of. It's not our house, nor is it "exact," but it was close enough for us to get excited.
We really didn't have much to do on Saturday. We woke up semi-early and after putzing around the house for a few hours I looked at Scott and asked him if he wanted to drive by our lot just for the heck of it. Without even thinking twice he grabbed the baby and we were in the car.
As we pulled in front of our lot I got out, and opened the back of our SUV to get the stroller out. I sort of had it in my mind that we would take the baby for a walk around our "new development" so that I could stare at the houses longer than just driving by. I did not tell Scott that I had this in my mind though, so he was a bit surprised. After realizing what I was doing, he got out, put the baby in her stroller, and off we went. We walked and walked, and then looked up and saw the same model of our house being built!!! Well, it wasn't actually being built, but there it was, all the framing was up.
Scott thought I was nuts, but I decided to go in it. You would have thought it was mine! I was practically jumping up and down, skipping all over the place - it was fabulous! All I could think was "my island will be here, my couch will be here - oh, and my big garden tub will be here!" Then I kept having to take a step back and remember that it wasn't really my house.
Our blueprint review is this Wednesday afternoon, and I couldn't be any more excited. I just want to tell them to dig now - i'll bring my shovel! Even though I do know that they don't really use shovels.
Anyway, that is all for now...hopefully there will be more updates once they actually being working on OUR home! :)
