We have now been in our house for a little under a week. Things are coming together. Grayson had a really hard time the first two nights in a new house and room, but he quickly got used to things and is now loving having his own room. Grant was so excited from day one, to be in his own room. He loves it and keeps asking when he will get to paint his walls. Grant started school on Wednesday and he is absolutely loving it. His teacher is amazing, he has made lots of new friends already, and he loves walking to school. I love that I can watch him walk to school right out the back window! He has met a little girl that he can not stop talking about. Each day the two of them come walking home together just giggling!! It is so cute and it makes me so happy!! He does miss some of his friends from his other school, but he is adjusting so well. We still have a few boxes to unpack, but for the most part things are in their places. Now I just have to decorate and make it HOME!!

When we started this whole building a house process my mom told me that buying a house would be one of the most challenging things we would do. Up until this last week I thought she was crazy, but as always she was RIGHT!! We really enjoyed working with Ivory! They have been so great throughout the entire process. EVERY person we worked with at Ivory went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with everything. Other than the little mix up with the granite (which they were quick to fix) everything went unbeleivably smooth. Until this last week. My hubby used to work for a mortgage company, he knows what he is doing and talking about. So he dealt with all of that. All I know is, we are supposed to be out of our house by today Dec 1, 2011, we were supposed to close on the house on Tuesday and the closing just kept getting pushed back for various reasons. So here we are Thursday night at 7:00 PM signing docs. We will have the keys tomorrow and will begin moving everything in. The landlord is giving us a few extra days (which we are paying dearly for) and we have to be out by Sunday Dec 4, 2011. This last week has been a whirlwind of emotion and stress. Very overwhelming and trying, but as always Jared came through and got the job done!

It still doesnt seem real that we just bought a house, but I am sure once we are settled in it will be real and amazing!!!

Here is Jared signing his life away!!
