Two more days...and counting...

...until we move into our new house! We're still waiting for the appraisal to come through, but our builder agreed to let us move in this Friday since we have to be out of our rental house on Saturday. We were hoping to be able to close by Friday, but now we're hoping for May 30th. The house is pretty much finished - the painters have to come in and touch-up a few places and a cleaning crew has to come through, but other than that the inside is finished. It looks great! The yard still has to be hydroseeded, but that can be done after we're in there. The builder (who is such a nice man) gave us the keys to the front door, and we've been going by every day to check it out. It is so hard to leave once we're there! There are a lot of great things about the house, but one of our favorites is the central vacuum system. It is SO neat! Dog hair is the absolute BANE of my existence, and I think it's going to be so much easier for me to keep up with it now. I love that the vac blows all of the dirt, dust, and hair outside. YAHOO!! We do wish we had a bigger backyard, but we couldn't have everything we wanted right now. The inside of the house makes up for the backyard anyway. I'll post some pictures when we move in on Friday.
