I am finally doing another post.  Yes, I stink at this.  What have you missed?

   1.  Holidays!
   2.  We're expecting baby #2!  August 19 :)
   3.  The house!

We spent a COLD Christmas in NY.  Seriously, it was like 11 degrees out everyday.  Then I hear that Frank (my brother-in-law) is golfing in NC in like 70 degree weather!  Argh!  Darn you Jack Frost!  Bring on global warming (j/k... maybe).  Anyways, here is the link to Sam's latest pictures (click on her smiling face):

(MY NEW HOUSE!!!)

Alright, that's it for now!  I'll do my best to update as I get the house decorated and settled.  I swear.  *cough*

We have a closing date!  Our walk-through is 12/29 with our final walk-through and closing scheduled for 1/5/2009.  So very exciting!  Received 3 more pictures yesterday - drywall is up and the stone on the front of the house.

My house!


Family room / fireplace


Looking from the kitchen into the family room (sink area)

We have more house pictures!  I put in our vacate notice for our apartment and have been getting moving estimates already.  We have less than 60 days until move time!  The build is on schedule and looking amazing.  I can't believe we are building a house!

The bottom front will be a stone facade

Our realtor was planning on heading out to visit the site this weekend and take us some more shots, including the backyard and neighborhood - stay tuned!

Yippee!  Our sales guy sent pictures from Monday, Tuesday, and today.  I don't think I'll ever believe how fast they go up.  Right now we are looking at a closing date the week of January 4th.  Happy new year to me, I mean us!

Look at that nice blue Charlotte sky!

We have a house!  Well, rather a foundation!  Oh, and plumbing!  The builders started our house this past week and are roaring to go.  Framing starts this week which I think they said leads to a roof.  Very exciting!  Here's what we're building:

They are expecting to have the house done by the end of the year, so we could move in January. For anyone who doesn't know, we are not building in Raleigh, but in Charlotte!
