Single Digits Baby!

After seeing the rock on Thursday we were convinced that it wasn't the rock we had picked out.  I gave our builder a call and he double checked everything for us.  He checked with the rock company, Edge themselves, and the design center.  Everyone told him the same thing, that is the right rock.  There was no mistake made.  We were pretty sad to get that news.  There was too much purple and orange on our house.  We did not like the way that it looked because it was so dark.  While visiting our house on Saturday. . .  And again on Sunday, we noticed that our rock has lightened up.  We were thrilled to see that.  It is still a little dark for what we wanted, but we are no longer disappointed with the way it looks.  Over the summer we are going to do some artificial aging and lighten some of the darker pieces.

There are only a few projects left to complete.  The pendant lights above our island need to be put up, the garage is going to be painted today, and the carpet needs to be installed.  I'm sure that there are a few little things that need to be finished as well.  I would have no idea what those would be though.  The building manager is going to do his walk through this week.  He is going to check to make sure everything is the way that we wanted it.  We are assuming that he will do that at end of this week sometime.  Maybe Thursday?  We are scheduled to have our "New Home Orientation" in 9 days.  That's right, we are down to single digits.  Next Wednesday is when we become super adults.  We will have our walk through around 1:00 pm, and right after that we will hopefully be able to head over to the mortgage place and sign papers.  Although, we are still not 100% sure on that one.  It all depends on paperwork and the appraisal.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will work that way.  That way we can start moving things in that day too.  February 6th can't come soon enough.
