Matt and I went out to the new house last night to meet with our builder and discuss some possible changes/upgrades. It's so fun to see the progress! We've been driving out there almost daily now...we don't want to miss anything. Sometimes we're obviously disappointed when the house is in the same state as it was when we saw it last, but when they've been working on it, it's so much fun to round that corner and see it! As of right now, the roof is almost done! It looks so much bigger now that it actually looks like a house...we both love everything about it so far. Tonight we'll meet with a guy that's going to give us our budget for all of our interior items like cabinets, flooring, appliances, tile, lighting, etc. Greg (our builder) told us that he hooked us up with a really nice budget (in fact the same budget that he had for a house down the street that's much bigger than ours!) so we're excited to go shopping and see what we can get for our money. I meant to take the camera last night, but forgot...again. The camera is sitting on the table right next to my purse and I really hope that I don't pick up my purse and leave it sitting there...again. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to share with you later this evening Ü

Yay! How exciting! Not sure about lunch today, I just got home from work and am EXHAUSTED beyond belief. I worked an extra day plus some OT over the weekend, and I feel like I'm going to keel over and simply die! I am going to try and sleep until Kory gets home from work and then we are going to finalized our decision on baby furniture so I can order it on Friday! :) Love ya!
I will have to swing by to look at the house when I drive by your road....we go by there quite often. Actually maybe I will swing by today on my way to the trail (my 2nd time through there). I'm really thinking its going to be done soon :)
Jess- I'm so excited about being so close to the trail! I can't wait til next summer...I foresee lots of stroller walks! I'm thinking I should get a group together since there will be so many mommies with babies! Fun! Ü
I was totally thinking of how great it will be for you to be close to the trail (when I had to drive there to do my bike ride). You will totally love it! If you start a mom's group....I will join! I was thinking about doing one in Yelm. I joined a mom's group on meetup.com that is the oly/lacey group, so that is why I've been going through Rainier so much. Also, we have a membership at the Valley....we sucked it up and joined that expensive place. But, I love it...you never have to wait for anything and the pool is open for lap swimming the whole time (unlike the Y). We went to the Y for a bit, but we weren't too happy about it. There is so much to do at the Valley.
By the way....I just added those pregnancy books on my goodreads because I remembered that I read them....not because I am reading them again :) Nice try! :) We won't be going down that road till maybe after next summer.
ok...this is a long comment!
Oh.....and I didn't have time to swing by your house, but I did sneak a peak coming down the dip and I did notice a very nice roof line....looks like it will be a cool house!
The Y is still a good place to go, but if it fits in your budget, you may like the Valley better. However, for the daycare, the kids have to be walking before they can go....that's why I'm going through this now.
(ok...no more comments for tonight) :)
Yeah, so FJMJ? I deleted him too. :)
Jess- Where's the Valley? Never heard of it...but I would definitely like to go somewhere that's more flexible. And I have mom right next door, so I won't have to worry about the daycare situation...unless she decides to retire, and we all know that will never happen Ü Oh, and we should definitely start a mom's group...how fun!
Can I join the mom's group???? :)
Tiff - Of course, silly! You were at the top of my list Ü There's a really cool "Yelm to Tenino" paved trail that will be right by our new house...perfect for strollers!
Ok....I did a driveby...your house looks huge! How many square feet is it? That will be fun having you guys a smidge closer and on our way to Oly! The Valley (Tumwater Valley Athletic club) is in tumwater and is just past the brewery. It is only about 5 minutes or less from the Y.
I think a mom's group in the yelm area would be a hit because of all the military families, etc....a lot of them probably don't want to drive to Oly. Anyway, this will be something we will have to work on! (of course you can join Tiffany!)
Happy 2nd Anniversary! :)
We luv you guys! xoxo
Can I join the Moms group too. I'll bring clipped coupons.
