ok, it's official

this entire week has been a whirlwind, trying to work knowing that my house was being shown and complete strangers are peeking in my cupboards and closets, knowing that i had found my dream home (http://www.geekjive.com/mom/house/) and worrying about how much my mortgage might end up being.

on tuesday night kathryn and i met up at the kb home studio so that i could go through and pick out all of the wonderful things that quickly add up to a small fortune! i thought that i would end up with about $30,000 in "upgrades", well i was very close, i only missed it by about $125.00. does that make me a good shopper or what?

yesterday was a day filled with excitement and nervousness, it was the day that i was to sign a purchase agreement for my new house. my appointment was at 2:00, i got there a few minutes early so that i could go through the model one more time. my biggest worry now was where to put a doggie door! no problem, it can be installed in the livingroom as long as i don't get too big of a couch.

so into the sales office i ran, hopped and skipped! i signed so many papers that i think i may have even given away kathryn's first born child! sorry sweetheart. i got to meet the superintendent, tom. what a hunk! must be all of those drills, hammers, etc. a meeting was set up for next tuesday morning so that tom and i could do my "pre-construction" walk. this means that he will take me to my lot (#205) so that i can see my dirt! he will also be going over some of the electrical and plumbing plans with me. i should have a slab in about 2 weeks and hopefully the house will be ready in about 5 months.

it seems so strange that kathryn and i are both waiting for new houses to be built and we should both be moving in within a month or so of each other. single women...what can i say...we just love to shop!
