House updates

I am officially moved in and loving it! I have been trying to get everything situated and unpacked and have finally made some progress. Here is my beautiful master bedroom! It seems a little weird to have the master bedroom to myself. I'm still getting used to being the "grown-up" in the house. I love how everything turned out, though! It is exactly how I envisioned it.

I'm leaving a bunch of pictures out, everything is still a work in progress! More to come later. :)

Making Preparations

This upcoming week, my life will revolve around:

Yep, I will be packing my life away preparing for the big move on Saturday!! The day has finally come and I am very anxious to move into my very first house. The movers will be here bright and early on Saturday morning. YAY!

Only 3 weeks left!!!!

Have I mentioned how excited I am about my house? It has been such an amazing process watching my very first house go up. Between picking out all of my colors, making my "own" decisions, and visiting my lot every single day, I am finally almost there! Just 3 short weeks left until everything is complete and I could not be more excited (obviously).  

My beautiful kitchen backsplash. The little pieces are from my parent's kitchen in the house that they just built. It is such a neat thing to have a piece of them in my new house!! 

The den is coming along quite nicely. The first coat of paint is up and I love the color! 

The landscaping has started! We are down to the final finishing touches. I can't wait for the final product!

House Progress

My house is progressing so quickly and it is making me so excited!!! I went out to look at it yesterday and took a new picture...

The roof is completed!! The brick is laid out, ready to go as well. Hopefully we will see lots of progress as we end the month. YAY!!! 

More Progress!

My house is steadily coming along! Woo Hoo!! I went out there again today and the framing has begun. It is so strange to see your house go up in stages so quickly. It just makes me even more excited. Here are the latest pictures!

New House

I am currently in the process of building my first house!! I am so excited about it. It has been a long process, but construction has finally begun. I moved back home after I graduated from Alabama to begin working on my masters degree at UAB, so living at home (with my parents!!) was the best option for me. It has definitely been interesting, but thankfully I have FUN parents! :)

After graduating from UAB last December, I began teaching in January at Clay Elementary. I worked there all spring semester doing a maternity leave and then taking over a retirement. This past summer I was offered a job at Irondale Middle teaching 6th grade and I absolutely love it! I have been patiently waiting,saving money, looking at houses with my realtor, and finally an opportunity presented itself!

I am building a house in Alden Glen in Moody! It is a cute, newer neighborhood and I absolutely love it. It just seemed like the best place for my first home. I am very close to work (just an 8 minute drive down I-20) and very close to my parents in Trussville (I couldn't move too far from them!).

Here are a few pictures of the (small) progress!
