Tell me Tell me

I have done a lot of looking of stuff on the computer to get ideas for what I like/want for our house. Although there are certain things that Matt and I are pretty solid/decided on, there's some other things I'm not too sure about so I am asking for your opinions/suggestions.



What are your favorite/least favorite things about your house?



My biggest debate right now is door hardware. Do I get a Gripset or a handle and separate deadbolt for the front door? What about the interior doors? Lever or knobs? In the kitchen is it better/look nicer to have all the same...like all handles or is it better/nicer to mix it up? Do you prefer a pull out spout in your kitchen? I really don't like the 1 handle faucets. I strongly prefer the 2 handle faucets. The only exception I would make would be to put this in our ensuite.



They do make this with 2 handles, but it costs MUCH more...not just $20-30 but more like $70-90 more. We might not even be able to afford this particular faucet, but don't you think it's fun? I sure do!

Anyways, I am having some minor dilemmas so I would really LOVE your ideas/opinions/advice/suggestions on anything and everything. I'm new at this so those of you who have built have some experience and I need it...lol.

What made me happy on this fine Monday???

Dance Class. We are learning a new dance in addition to our acapella routine.

Making sweet potato and regular fries for lunch. They were oh so yummy!

Snuggling with Matt this morning because papers were super late and he crawled back into bed before I had to get up.

Dancing in the living room with Tanner and R after dinner tonight. We had a "dance party". My sister Amy would be proud ; )

My awesomely, amazing friends.

Seeing that Sharon finally looks pregnant. She does not show until pretty late and it didn't seem all that real until lately when she has started showing. She's a very cute pregnant woman.

Not having my car stolen. My sister and brother in law had their Jeep stolen today! I feel so sick for them. I can't even fathom the frustration and upset.

Being one step closer every day to getting into a house!!!! Breaking ground day is going to be really soon from what we understand. We are hoping that we'll be in as early as the end of October but by Tanner's 8th b-day (Nov 21) or Christmas would be great too. We haven't been told yet when the projected finish date is. We're just waiting to be able to sign all the needed paper work. Do you want me to post pictures of the process or is that boring for most people??? I love seeing when the inside of the house is being built. The framing isn't all that exciting to me but some people might really like that. Just let me know. AHHHH!!! So exciting!

Having lunch with Tanner.

Having a body that works pretty good.

What made YOU happy today???
