Last Week...

Last Tuesday, I took the boys to a playgroup to get them out of the house. They were so excited to play with other kids their age and I was happy to be around other moms again. The playgroup meets three times a week, so I plan on taking the boys as often as I can.

On Wednesday, we met with our builder to start the process of designing our house. We talked about all of the features we do and don't want to be included in the plans they draw up for us. Then, we drove over to the actual site where our home will be built. Our lot is currently full of trees, so it was hard to picture the size and shape of our property. We were very excited to find out that our kids will be going to a great K-12 school that has a high school hockey team. Their mascot is the Eagles and their colors are red and gray. We were told that our house will be done within 120 days of the basement being dug, probably giving us a February move in date. Everything here seems to be falling into place.

We did find out some bad news though. We will not be able to rent the house down the street from our future home, because someone made an offer to purchase it. I am disappointed because I was really looking forward to looking out the window at our home being built and getting to know our neighbors over the next few months. Luckily, our builder found us another home to rent that is not too far away. This house is even bigger, with four bedrooms, giving us plenty of room for people to visit over the holidays. We still need to figure out when and if we are getting our things out of storage, but either way, we be just fine until our house is done.
