Finally done with paperwork......for now.

So, today I finally finished gathering, signing, copying and mailing all the loan paper work!!!  I can't tell you what a HUGE relief that is.

I was also able to run by our lot and take a picture.

Home sweet home is about to be built on this spot!


I was also able to stop by the Ryan Homes office and look at cabinet and granite options. Who would have ever thought choosing granite and cabinets would be so stressful. Ryan homes does not offer very many granite color options. There are way more options if you get laminate counter tops. However, upgraded granite counter tops is one of the free incentives being offered right now.....and who would turn down free granite???? So, my options were basically Black, Black/tan, Black/peach/gray (not as pretty as it may sound, trust me) black/gray/cream and cream/honey/black-speckled. As I'm sure you can imagine....not great choices. Their cabinet options are not bad. ....BUT husband doesn't like white, off-white or dark cabinets and I don't like light wood cabinet. Also,  Yeah, we have spent many hours the past week stressing over this.  However, I do believe we have come up with a good solution.

Medium cabinets and black/tan granite.

Monday we pick out all the flooring for the house. To be honest I am totally dreading that appt.  Spending  2 hours in a flooring warehouse with 3 kids ages 5 and under right during dinner time is not my idea of fun.  The appt is at 6pm because that is the only time that hubby is able to go with us. Anyone who is a parent of small children will agree with me that 5pm is the magic hour that children around the world unit to see if it is possible to drive their parents stark raving mad before bedtime. ...Ok not really but some days it sure seems like it. Wish me luck y'all!!
