house - parade of homes

and the day we have been racing towards is here - the parade of homes.  our house is listed as "the madelyn".  our builder has the family name the floor plan and they had forgotten to ask us what we wanted to name ours.  i asked madelyn what we should name the house and she said "madelyn" - so we did.

we probably won't go out to the house very much from now until we move in (because it is so far and a little weird to see other people in your house), but i wanted to see the refrigerator and completed landscaping.  matt had been out every day this week so he had already seen everything and wasn't that excited about stopping in again but humored me.
front landscaping

'finished' kitchen

you can see one plant in the bed between the garages and the start of the county's fence they just put in this week

the county came out and installed the split rail fence to keep people using the path off of our property
the back yard is just seeded.  i like all of the evergreens on the side of the house too.
we move in about 70 days from now and we cannot wait!  we have a lot going on in september so it should go by quickly with school starting back and starting to transition everything down towards the house (doctors, school, church, etc) prior to the move.  we are so thrilled with how it all turned out.  it still seems hard to believe that we are actually going to live there - soon.  love.

that's a HUGE yard!! Matt will def need a riding mower - unless you never want to see him on weekends. The blue skies are so pretty- I wish it was in the upper 70's here. Your kitchen is just beautiful. I bet you can't wait to get in there and cook, and get all your equipment back :) When are you coming to FL?

It isn't too much bigger than our yard in Wisconsin. I think that is just looks really large from that angle.

I can. not. wait. to get into that kitchen! And use the HUGE pantry! This apartment kitchen is just busting at the seams.

It looks beautiful. How cute that they named it "madelyn". That is pretty neat! They sure put a lot of things on the kitchen counters. What the heck is that "thing" on the island? It is going to feel so good to move in, I'm sure. You all will be losing each other -- it will seem so big.
Love, Nana
