Been a While...

Dee and Josh — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 04:32:23 GMT

It had been over a year now since we moved into our house and this September we will have been together for 10 years! It will also be our 3 year Wedding Anniversary in August.

Our latest project was landscaping out backyard, which looks awesome.

We also recently put up curtains in our living room.

Check out the photos in the photo album!

Have your cake and eat it too!

Josh and I are visiting our family in Erie PA for Jess's (Josh's sister) wedding to her long time fiance Matt. Our friend Sarah (who is awesome and fantastic) is staying with us and I am very happy about that, as I haven't seen her or Josh's family in almost 2 years since our wedding. So far we have had bad weather mother nature hates us) and slept in really late. Also stayed up really late... We ahve played with Hoola Hoops, visited Avonia Beach, hung out, visited Edinboro....... went to Sheetz and ate pizza later on that evening... haha Josh sucks).... played Corn Hole and hung out with friends and family!

Gram had a party for all the family and it was really fun!

Yesterday I found a magical thing!.... Piece of Cake Ice Cream!!! After years of searching (each time we have visited Erie, PA) I have finally found it. Sarah and I went to Tops supermarket and found this wonderful dessert. Oh also Sarah and I got mani/pedi!

Trip is not over yet so I will have some Pics to come!

Almost Finished

Dee and Josh — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 07:30:00 GMT

We visited the house today with Bobbi and saw that the house is almost done! They still need to fix a few bumps and bruises... and also remove some oleander bushes. We measured for blinds and got a general backyard measurement for irrigation.

On Tuesday we will be going through the house and marking all the areas that they need to touch up.

Then 4/13 we will be going to our new homeowners orientation...

Then 4/16 CLOSING! It is very exciting and scary all at the same time... but we are happy!

Check out our latest photo gallery slideshow, updated montage, and new video gallery!

Paint, Cabinets, and Fence... Oh my!

Dee and Josh — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 15:52:00 GMT

Hello all! This weeks KB has done a lot on our house... not only did they start painting, install cabinets, and put up our fence, they also put in shelving and started on closets. We still have an Ant hill that needs to be disposed of... plus there are some dents in some of the cabinets. But all in all things are going quite smoothly.

Definitely take a peak at the photo album from this week and also our Building Montage...

STUUUCCCCCOOOOOO!!!

Dee and Josh — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:36:00 GMT

We take you on a second tour through our house after the drywall and stucco was finished. This was shot on location on 3-13-10. Also take a peak at our updated building montage!

Drywall

Dee and Josh — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:52:00 GMT

The drywall is up in the house and it is amazing how much bigger the house looks because of it. It really is starting to feel like a house now. Before we know it we'll be moving in.

Weddings!

Dee and Josh — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:04:00 GMT

Yesterday we were part of a beautiful wedding for our friends Brandon and Kristen. Their wedding was simply beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and the reception was a hoot! What a wonderful family and such a fun time. Best Wishes to you both for a long and happy marriage!
We also found out yesterday that my long time friend Sarah and her long time boyfriend John are now engaged! It has been a long time coming and we are very happy for them as well! She told us that yesterday was their anniversary and he arranged the whole proposal so that it would be in front of a whole piano bar full of people. Congratulations and we also hope for a long and happy marriage!

Drywall is coming!

Dee and Josh — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:14:00 GMT

We visited the house today and we now have solid walls. So now you can't see in unless you look in the windows... haha. We will also be going to our pre-drywall meeting next week and will have a for sure date that the house will be completed!

Here I am standing on our front porch! Follow me on tour through the house in our photo album.

Also our building montage is updating!

This is truly exciting!

Dee and Josh — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:23:00 GMT

Take the first video tour through our house. The frame has just been completed.
We have also included more images in our photo album.

Dee and Josh — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:19:00 GMT

The second story frame is up and the roof is almost up. The pieces are coming together. Josh went to the house today and took a lot of pictures. Take a look at the photo album! Stay tuned for our video walk-through when Josh gives you a detailed tour of the house!

Also check out the MONTAGE I created to show the progression of the build. I will also be updating it as time continues.

Frame

Dee and Josh — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 05:03:00 GMT

Josh visited our house today and took a lot of pictures. He was told that the second story frame would be done on Monday.

Walls... yippie!

Dee and Josh — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:31:00 GMT

Today the first floor of our frame was put together... funny thing is how many people knew before we did. Kristen texted me this morning and said that she couldn't take a picture because her phone was being dumb... Bobbi's dad drove by and let her know about it and she didn't text me... and Mike (the foreman) called Josh and let him know about it. So much silliness and we feel so grateful that so many people are looking out for us! Thank you all!

We have concrete!

Dee and Josh — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:33:00 GMT

So today we got word that we now have a slab of concrete. So now we can officially say we have the beginnings of a house!

Lesbian??

Dee and Josh — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 03:54:00 GMT

So Bobbi Jo and I hung out on Saturday... our first stop was the post office where the teller commented on how lovely my necklace was. She then proceeded to ask if my necklace was the rainbow?... Bobbi piped up with, "No not that rainbow.." and the teller said, "oh ok, I just wasn't sure if you two were together, but that would be really nice for them..." Classic...

Don't we make a cute couple???

The Beginning!

Dee and Josh — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:54:00 GMT

Today we met with Mike from KB homes who is the project manager. We now have a time-line for how long it will take for our house to be built. Right now they are estimating that we will close on April 16th!... Very soon! After we reviewed everything with him, we went and looked at the property again and he gave us some ideas of what they would be doing visually. After we met with him, we found out that they started the construction already!.. Thanks Kristen!

Design Center 2

Dee and Josh — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:34:00 GMT
