Things are coming along!

Just wanted to do a quick house update since Facebook status is a little limited in space. :)
In November we (finally) closed on our new home! I think it was the 17th. It's been a long few weeks, hardly remember what I ate yesterday. Anyway, starting on the day of close, we started gutting the kitchen, painting, removing flooring and baseboards and knocking out a closet to make the laundry room bigger.
And wouldn't you know?! It's starting to look like a home again. No, we have nothing in the kitchen but a stud wall and the oven we have yet to get out. And the majority of the floor upstairs is dirty concrete and carpet pad. BUT, the wood floors were started yesterday, I finished painting both kids' rooms, the office, the hall, the upstairs living space, the kitchen and the entry; and I am almost done with the guest room, just started the craft room and have paint for the laundry when it's complete!
Buddy has gotten the laundry room wall built and is finishing up the sheetrock on the inside this weekend. He demoed the entire kitchen, so he has done more than just the laundry room walls. :)
Wood laying continues, carpet starts Friday, cabinets start Friday, countertops, not sure when but...
With the way things are heading, we'll be moving in next Thursday!!! Merry Christmas to The Blattner Family! We are two days ahead of when we thought we'd be moving. We just wanted to be in before we left for Minnesota and woo hoo we will be!
