The House

Well, we are almost ready to move in. The paint has been changed to a much better color. The cabinets and plumbing are finished. The appliances are in as well as the tile and carpet. The light fixtures and electrical outlets are all in too. There is just a few minor things left for them to do like touching up the paint and putting up the mirrors. The builder is hoping to be able to hand us the keys this week! We are so excited! We still have a few things to finish up with the bank but the builder is going to let us move in before that and just pay rent or the interest on the construction loan until that is all worked out.

Carpet and tile. The tile needs to be mopped but that wont be done until after the construction is complete.

Plumbing fixtures in the girls bathroom.

Our kitchen and appliances.

Pretty in Pink

Well things have been going pretty well with the house. All of the walls are up. The drywall, taping and texture has all been completed. The shelves are in all of the closets and pantry. They painted the inside this week. We went last night to see the finished product and the first thing the girls said when we walked into the garage was something like "Yes! Our house is pink!" That was not what color we wanted our walls. We picked out a color called canyon dusk. It was suppose to be a light brown with a tint of red in it.

Needless to say it turned out different than we expected and pink is not going to work for us. Last night was spent picking out new colors with the help of our contractor. He was very good about leading us toward colors that were more like what we wanted in the end. The new paint was ordered and I traveled to Tucson today to pick it up. I brought back 9 five gallon buckets of paint in the back of my mini van. Hopefully by this time tomorrow the problem will be remedy. Oh the adventures of building a house. I would probably be laughing if it wasn't such an expensive mistake.

March is Here!

This month there's going to be a lot of busy excitement going on in the Hunt household. To start the month of, this week Jeremy and I have our 10th anniversary. It is crazy to believe how fast the last ten years has gone. Thinking back on everything that has happened in that time I see how much we have changed as individuals and as a family. It is amazing. I am grateful for every day.
Also this month Kelsi is turning 8 and getting baptized. She has grown up so fast and it is crazy to believe how much she has changed and what a vital part she plays in our family. We are all very excited for this opportunity she will have.
The month will also be full of cleaning and packing because if everything goes as scheduled we will be receiving the keys to our new house on March 31st! So Easter weekend may keep us busy moving in.
We hope all are well and that March brings great things your way!

More Pictures

I know you all are probably sick of pictures of the house and are wondering if there is anything else going on in my life. Put yet here I post more pictures.

It is coming along nicely.

Our house is looking more and more like a house almost every day. We have a roof (just the wood), framed walls on the inside and out as well as most of the electricity lines in place. The plan is for them to do the stucco this week as well as the shingles on the roof. On the 15th they will start the dry wall. We are so excited and look forward to being able to move in at the end of March or the first part of April.Facing the kitchen. To the right is the master bedroom.

Courtney Cowgirl

Courtney got this pony for Christmas and has really enjoyed it. We thought it was extra cute when just put on the hat and hopped on. She started saying "cowgirl" and "yee haw." Hope you enjoy!
