Wood floors & Landscaping

This week they started the landscaping and wood floors. The landscapers have cleared some of the yaupon from the front, so you can now see the front of the house from the street. They have also started the retaining walls.

The front door was stained.

Wood floors

This is our green and brown room. The walls are green and the ceiling is brown. It took a few tries to get the right color green, but now I think it looks pretty good.

They also poured the sidewalks and driveway this week.

Shop

We have decided to build a shop next to our house. It is basically going to be a detached garage. Having two acres means we are going to have to store a riding lawn mower and other items that aren't going to fit in the garage, so we decided to go ahead and build this shop. It will also be a place for Shawn to have an area for all of his projects he plans to build.

Some New House Pictures

We are getting close. Only a few more weeks. This week they stained the cedar outside and hung the shutters.

I love the garage door.

Valentine's Day & Birthday

For my birthday and Valentine's day Shawn took me to Houston for a couple of days. We had a great time. We stayed in a nice hotel downtown. On Thursday, he took me to eat at Pappasito's (our favorite). Then we spent Friday furniture shopping. I think I wore him out going to so many stores, but we were able to find new bedroom furniture. I am still looking for a dining room table, but I am in no rush to find one quickly. It was nice to get away for a few days. Thank you Shawn for making my birthday such a special day.

Getting Close

In the last month, a lot has been done at the house. They have painted, installed cabinets, light fixtures, tiles and much more. We are hoping to move sometime in March. Here are some new pictures.

Merry Christmas

Christmas in Fort Worth

We are in Fort Worth until Monday celebrating Christmas with Shawn's family. We are having a great time. Tonight we opened gifts with our niece Courtney. I love Christmas time and getting to spend time with family.

Windows and Sheetrock

The windows have been installed and this week they hung the sheet rock. I can't believe how quickly it is going. It really is starting to come together.

Roof

The house has been coming along very well. While we were in Colorado they shingled the roof. It looks great. Since then they have done all of the wiring and A/C work.

Happy Birthday Andrew and Adam

Happy birthday boys!!! You two have been such wonderful blessings to our family. We love you both so much and look forward to seeing what is in store for you this next year.
