Since I Last Wrote....

Life has been BONKERS. I wish I would have kept up with blogging during the crazy, cause I honestly can't remember it all! 
The house is DONE and we passed inspection!! Yippee. We didn't make our original deadline (the weekend before Jake's work trip, where he is currently), but it's complete and now we don't have to worry about rushing to get in before he leaves. He gets home tonight after major delays (hallelujah) and we'll unload the storage units and bring everything to the house Friday. To say we are ready and excited would be an understatement! 
I haven't been over there for a couple weeks, so must of these pics are courtesy of the husband! Jake has been going a ton to do some finish work, but I've stayed home with the babe. 
Brad stained the front door! I haven't seen it in person, but it looks dang look in the pictures. 

 
Plumbing fixtures and toilets went in. This was a bit of a fiasco. We didn't like the ones the plumber had, and didn't want to pay a ton to upgrade through him, so we bought our own for him to install. He said to make sure the box had never been opened, because it's common for parts to be missing. The one we bought for our bathroom had clearly never been opened, but just our luck...one of the bolts had been stripped. We fudged the install for inspection and will replace it when Jake is home and we move in! 

 


 
Jake got all the door hardware on, and Brad installed the carpet. Neither of which I have good pictures of. The cleaning crew came and shined the place up, and Jake finished the countertops! 

 
There were times I was nervous about those suckers, but in the end they look super cool. The perfect industrial touch! 

The exterior is finished, and even though they did the wrong color of garage door, we still really like it. It wasn't worth changing. 

 
Ryan started clapping and popped 2 teeth. :)


 

 
Jake and I went through the temple! 

 
Wish us luck with our last move for a really. really. really long time. :)
