My last post, over 6 months ago, announced our plan to move.  I also said I would post lots of pictures as I planned to document each step of the construction of this house.  I had several friends who were also building homes at the same time and I loved seeing the construction process unfold.

However, that just didn’t happen.  Maybe because Paul took most of the pictures on his iphone and didn’t download them to my laptop.  Maybe because he posted lots of them on facebook so they were already out there.  Maybe because I just got busy with selling the other house.  Whatever the reason, I’m a terrible blogger and I didn’t post the pictures I wanted. 

Here are a few of the pictures of the process:

But it is done now!  And it is beautiful and we love it!  We were able to sell our home in Katy to a great LDS family that let us rent it back from them until the house was finished (a month behind schedule).  We closed on April 29 and took the next 3 weeks to install blinds, garage door openers, ceiling fans and have built-in bookshelves and cabinets put in.  We were able to move all our stuff up here to Spring over a few weeks and it was relatively painless.  I’m glad that part is over though.

Now we are still finishing unpacking and getting ready for our housewarming party.  For all our friends who wanted to come see the house we will be hosting an all day open house on June 21 from 9am-5pm.  Come hang out for as long as you like, get the grand tour, munch on some food, and relax in our new home.  I’m not going to post my address or directions publicly, but send me an e-mail or facebook message and I will help you find it. 

See you all later!
