We can make it rain on our own

Today we got our irrigation system. For those of you who haven't heard this story we did not sign up for one but were pleasantly surprised when during our drywall meeting our builder pointed out where it would go. So in the words of my husband "We're living right". I took the kids over to watch the diggers. I'm sure the workmen thought we were checking up on them but really its 100 degrees outside today and our activities our limited, but the kids loved it.
Also rumor has it we will get our close date on Monday!!! And even better it's supposed to be an August date!

Finished on the outside

The house is finised on the outside. And really coming along on the inside. Actually this image in now a couple days behind, so I'll have to get out there and get another one soon. All that is left on the outside is Garage doors and painting the front door.
As for the inside we have walls that are primed and as of yesterday all of our cabinets have been installed. It's very exciting to really see it come together now.

We're here!

We have officially reached Belmont. After an exhausting few days of packing and then moving, Kevin and I both felt like we had been through the ringer.

We then drove down to Gastonia to retrieve the kids, (Their Grandparents took them for a few days so we could get packed and moved without them underfoot.) and headed to the Beach! We had a blast. It was great chance for us to just be together with no to do list and no Kevin always on the road. While there we did all sorts of fun things, really spent most of our time on the beach and celebrating the 4th of July.

On Wednesday it was back to the real world. So we headed back and spent a couple of days in Gastonia living on Kevin's parents couch until our rental was ready, but now it is and we are moved in!
In housing news, we had our pre-drywall meeting on Wednesday where we got a chance to walk through the house. This was exciting for me as this was the first time I saw the house in person since I saw the lot when we bought it. Once drywall goes up we are just 6 weeks away! Siding also goes up this week and I'll post pictures once we've got those!
