So there is roughly 11 hours and 28 minutes until we close...roughly

It is literally the final hours before we close on the house. It was sooooo difficult to leave yesterday after the final walk-through. We threatened the builder that we weren't leaving and just might be 'squatters' until noon on Friday. He just laughed at our silliness and we were like, "no, really." Everything looks good, just a few minor cosmetic things...oh and a few fixtures that didn't come in yet so we're stuck with some pretty fancy polished brass ones. Luckily they are in the closets and at this point, whatever they have to put up right now just to get the certificate of occupancy, we're fine with. I guess that is par for the course in the neighborhood, as pretty much everyone we've talked to went into their new home sans a few fixtures.

As of now, we have one more night in the apartment. One more night. We told the kids before bed tonight that the quicker they fell asleep, the quicker tomorrow would come....it worked. They've been real troopers through all of this and to see their excitement about a whole new world that is about to open up to them is truly priceless.

For now, we leave you with a few more pics before we move in officially. We hope to see everyone soon and please, come by and visit. We'll be sure to have a cold beer/glass of wine ready for you.
