House Update

So there's our house. Isn't she a beauty? Carpet and wood floors are in, counters and cupboards installed , crown molding and even the front landscaping is done. Just one problem ... THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY. Although we were originally scheduled to close on October 3, it looks like we're not going to be able to get into it until at least the end of October due to the immense power outages across Houston from Hurricane Ike. They aren't going to put our electricity meter on until everyone has their power back, which is perfectly understandable, but it doesn't change the fact that we are going to be homeless vagabonds for the next month since Adam's job starts in Houston next Monday. Big thanks to our cousins Shelly and Kendall who have offered to take us in for a few weeks. We hope that you aren't going to live to regret your very big-hearted offer to take us in!

Our big, fat, as-of-yet unlandscaped backyard.
Carpet is in and ready to be walked on.


Even the hardwood floors are anxiously awaiting our feet ... Hope to walk all over you soon!

sorry you have to wait to move into your house! glad it's all finished other than that! We still don't have power (it's been 10 days) so that's been fun....hope all is well.

Your house is looking great! And that is a good bit of land too. Congrats, though sorry about the later move in day. At least you have a place to stay till then.
