a quick update

We're building a house. Yet I went two weeks without even visiting the construction site.

And that would be why I haven't posted here for a bit.

The last few days have been filled with our move out of the Yellow House and into the new apartment.

I hadn't seen Amara's bedroom empty since we had first moved into the Yellow House. It seriously brought tears to my eyes. It was the only emotion I felt moving out of that place.



The room was painted with so much love. And fortunately, Amara truly enjoyed her "garden" bedroom.

We're all adjusting to life in an apartment. Although I will admit, we are in tight quarters.

As for the Grey House: the siding is now going up. I stopped by today - sans camera - and to my dismay, the grey is a bit too light for my liking. Only a fraction of the house is sided. So I'm hoping my opinion of it will change over time.

The garage doors have been installed.

And the electrical has been roughed.

We have finally made our final selections with cabinetry and countertops.

We're waiting for the tile folks to give us our new time pricing. I have my fingers crossed that the new tile is not discontinued like our first choice.

So as requested by Susan, I do not have new pictures from the Grey House. But I promise to stop by there this weekend and will post them as soon as I can!
