And Now the Chaos Begins.....

We met the developer, our builder and his wife (who is also our real estate agent) at the lots this morning. Everything looks really good for going, so we are going to go! We signed the contracts and now the insanity starts. This Saturday, my friend/architect is going to meet us for lunch with her hubby and 2 boys and we are going to take her to the lot to have her look at it after that. She is going to work on the plans, and in the meantime, our builder is going to be getting the septic tank people out there for perk tests and whatever and he is going to start grading and I don't know what else. My head started spinning with all the stuff that needs to be done before we can build. But, I am very excited and hope that all this small stuff goes quickly. The girls are with Aunt Libby tonight and I am going to The Diva's daughter's pageant at her school. I am thrilled about getting to sleep in tommorrow. My friend Sweetness had surgery today, so I went and picked up their 2 boys and Brian picked up dinner for them from us and The Diva's family. It has been a long day. I think I could quite possibly go to bed right now and sleep for about 20 hours. I ordered Annelise's cake this afternoon- the grocery store has these cool new cakes made from cupcakes and it had figurines of all the Disney Princesses on them. I love that I don't have to cut it up and get it all over my hands! I think Brian and I will go around tommorrow and look at stuff for the house. (Flooring, lights, etc...) We like to get stuff picked out early so it isn't such a daunting task when the time comes. I asked the builder if he thought we could be in before Christmas and he said he doesn't see why not. I am really looking forward to getting settled- and we haven't even broken ground, yet. I am going to start packing up stuff I don't use- you can never start that too early! Here I come, fine china!
