Our New Home

On our weekly trip to see our new home, this is what we saw...

 The second floor is finished!

It is so much fun to drive by every week now that we are making so much progress. I'm really hoping that we will close on time. We are very anxious to make our new house a home. This week they had completed the plumbing! All bathrooms had a tub, and they had installed the gas fireplace in our living room. Also, the wall between the kitchen and living room was framed out. It's so exciting to see our house taking shape! There is going to be a culdesac behind us (bummer), and the builders have already started clearing the land behind us. We are going to build a fence for privacy and so that Bandit can run free.

 I forgot to mention, they completed the covered porch too! 

 The wall between the kitchen and living room. I love the open feel!

 Master bath

I opted to not get a jetted tub. I have heard they are tough to keep clean.

We can't wait to see what the builders accomplish this week! They had shingles outside this past weekend, so maybe we will have a roof when we go this weekend! Have a safe and happy 4th!

Oh Baby!

Tucker and I are super excited to share with the world that Emily and Andy are pregnant!!! She is twelve weeks today! It's been killing me not being able to blog about it. So glad I can finally shout it from a roof top!!! Emily and Andy shared with us that they were expecting on Mother's Day weekend. What a special weekend it was!

We are thrilled for Emily and Andy! I can't wait to be an aunt and get my hands on that little cutie, whether it's a boy or a girl! Ha! This is such a happy time in all our our lives. Please keep Emily, Andy, and the sweet little one she is carrying in your prayers. We are praying for a healthy, happy pregnancy :)

Real Progress

What a difference a week makes!?!? In just one week we went from this...

To this!

Tucker and I were so relieved to see this much progress. For weeks, we would drive by, and it would appear as if the builders had done little to nothing. We know they were working hard, but it's a slow process to start. Hopefully, now we will see lots of progress every week! They just might be able to get this thing done on time!

Happy Father's Day 2012!

I know this is a few days late, but I did want to give a shout out to my Grandpa for Father's Day. He is one of the best Grandpa's in the world, and I love him dearly! Thanks for everything you do, Grandpa! You are one in a million, and I love you!

 My fav <3

 My Blakey (Blake). He now has armpit hair and is so proud of it! I, on the other hand, want to cry :/ He's growing up way too fast!

I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family! It's so nice when we can all get together. I also feel so blessed that my Grandpa can still run and do a cannonball off the diving board! He puts the kids to shame! Ha!

AUsome

Last Friday the Boswell's/Fuller's got the opportunity to tour the Auburn University sports facilities. This was a behind the scenes look that not many are fortunate to see. It will be so much fun this football season when we can imagine what our players are doing, because we have been there! Tucker and I discussed our favorite part of the tour, and it was hands down the tour of the indoor practice facility. Tucker, Andy , and Mr. Boswell got to run and throw the football to each other! The moment was priceless!

Look who we bumped into! The AU baseball coach!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our tour! Thanks to our "ausome" tour guide Eric. He was a blast! Have a wonderful week!

Time to Relax

This weekend Tucker, Jay,and I went to the lake to celebrate Mymama's birthday. It was a rainy day, but still a relaxing one. It's funny how no matter what the weather, the lake always puts you in a different state of mind. Mymama and I sat out on the porch and watched the world go by. We chatted about many different things, saw a humming bird, and watched the squirrels play. We enjoyed two good drenching summer rains. I wouldn't trade anything for those special moments.

Meanwhile, the boys were so relaxed, they were taking a long nap on the couches in the living room. Jay was on the couch and Tucker was on the love seat. I couldn't resist getting a few pics!

 The lake is the best place to take a long nap!

 Jay passed out after a delicious lunch!

 Lunch on the porch with a few of my favorite people!

 We LOVE the lake!

On the way back home, we stopped by our future neighborhood to see if any progress was made in the last week. We were happy to see that they had filled the hole, but not much else was completed. We hope to see a slab next week. Fingers crossed!!!

Hole filled! Now lets get a move on it!

House Update

Tucker and I drive by our lot every Sunday to see progress. Sadly, we don't see much progress from week to week. Many have said that it is slow to start, but once it does it goes quickly. I hope they are right. August 22 will be here before you know it! Tucker did call our realtor, and he assured us we are right on schedule.

When we drove by this week, we did see some progress- a hole in the ground. Yes, that's right, a hole is where our house should be. The foundation is the most important part of the building process (so I'm told), so I hope that's what that hole is for. I hope they are diligently preparing our foundation!

Waiting is the hardest part, and if you know Tucker and I, we are not the most patient people. We wanted things done yesterday! Ha! Hopefully, we will see lots of progress this week! Keep your fingers crossed!
