With All Of This Butt Numbing Excitement...

Who needs the news or politics?

We are officially one step closer... to our new house.

There's no backing out now... we've given them CHECKS!

We spent 4 hours in the design center yesterday. We chose carpet, tile, slate, grout, blah blah blah blah blah.
They manage to keep you there for 4 hours with a special incentive... get all of your design choices made in one day appointment and they will EXPEDITE the start of your house.

This means they will push your "dig date" forward.

After 4 hours of butt numbing choices and decisions - they better push it forward by WEEKS not days.

Apparently, we can call on Monday and they will tell us when our dig date is. Should be about the middle of November. The house will be ready by the beginning to middle of March - if not sooner. Obviously, we are hoping SOONER.

The really good news is that we managed to stay within our budget.

So, I've still got a shot at a lot of new furniture...
