Finally, Progress!

We finally took a step forward in the home construction progress!

After returning our deed to the attorney and learning our loan officer was on vacation last week, we were told on Monday that our loan was ready to close! We were so excited, we scheduled our closing right away. Yesterday, we signed the papers.

We are beyond thrilled! Construction is scheduled to start on Monday, however with the 4th of July holiday, it is likely to start on July 9th. Ugh, I'm so impatient at this point, I just want to look out the window, and see dozers and people working on our property. At this point, if construction starts on the 9th, there is a good possibility we will be our house by the beginning of October. Yes, please!

On another subject, I did order my new running shoes. It was a hard choice between the Pumas and Aasics, but I went with the Aasics. They shipped yesterday, so I should have them by Monday. I also (surprise, surprise!) ordered a purse. I finally found one I liked at the right price (it's been a long search).

We've got a heat wave starting in our area today, it's supposed to be a 105! I will probably be inside most of the day, along with the dogs :) I'm making chili tonight, so hopefully I will remember to take some pictures so I can blog about cooking again. I've gotten into a routine of forgetting my camera, so I just need to buckle down and do it. We'll see, no guarantees here!

Happy Thursday!
