South of the Border

We had a slow start this morning considering we set the alarm clock for 7:30. We were thinking: better to keep as close to our weekday schedule as possible so that the Monday morning wake up at 5:45 doesn't give us a swift kick in the pants. 7:30 came and went, and it wasn't until 8:30 that we finally got up. Oh well, so much for that plan!

We had an 11:30 appointment with our home sales agent, but we still mosied about in the morning- I spun the last ball of wool for Trish in hopes of getting it sent to her today, and Paul did his favorite sitting around pasttime- checking out Star Wars collectibles on the internet. By 10:30 we were running to get ready and luckily made it south of the border (South Carolina), being only 10 minutes late- still not ideal, but better than I thought.

We signed our paperwork for some changes to the original plan. We decided to have added a coffered ceiling in the living room and upgrading our cabinets with a beautiful cocoa glaze.

While we were at it, we stopped by the house to take more pictures.

Paul has been keeping a video journal of the whole process complete with video footage of all the electrical sockets and wiring so we know where not to nail our pictures on the wall (he is an engineer so thinks of these little details).

The windows and doors have all been put in (except garage doors). It even goes well with the green paper I think. The paper is growing on me.

In the end, we never made it to the grocery store, the post office to mail the wool (they close at 3:00 on Saturdays we found out) or the helmet store. There's always next weekend! We have some important things to take care of tonight: baking a pumpkin pie and watching a movie. We need to enjoy some rest this weekend because I leave tomorrow afternoon for Virginia and Paul leaves Tuesday morning for Seattle. So in the next week if you don't hear much from this neck of the woods, you'll know why.
