The grass is greener on our side of the fence...

O.K., so there really isn't a fence, but we now have grass in the front yard. Seeing the grass, combined with the landscaping, really pulls the house together. We are still scheduled to close in 9 days (aaaahhh!) but we really can't wait. After seeing some of these pictures, you will understand why. :)



We are so thrilled with how the outside of the house looks. They'll of course remove the dumpsters and pressure wash the driveway, but you get the general idea. It's amazing to think we went from making choices from swatches to what we have now. Like I said when we started the blog, "Don't act like you're not impressed!" :)


A nice look at the landscaping that comes with the home. We have some more landscaping to come in the back (foreshadowing!) but we'll get into that in another post. 


Hard to believe we were looking at this just two months ago. Now, we get this...



We feel very blessed to be able to call this house our home very soon. The kids are so excited too, and we can really sense just how close we are to realizing our dream.

      We're getting closer to a resolution. I'll spread the word once everything is settled. Thanks!

    I love your garage door most! Here, we were told they would only drop sod about a day or two before closing (I think it's because they don't want to pay the water bill and be responsible for the sod for too long). Everything looks awesome!

      Thanks! The garage door trim could have been up weeks ago, but they waited until now. It drove me a little crazy. :)

      Ryan gets to do that for the next week. But, yes, our water bill is going to be quite high soon.

      Wow, are you starting to freak out a little? We are. Love the side entry garage on your Milan. That really makes it shine.

    Beautiful! I'm so jealous! We don't get any landscaping from Ryan in our community, but it is amazing how it pulls it all together and makes it look so gorgeous.
