As most of you know, Thomas got a promotion with Cargill so we have relocated to Kansas City, MO. Luckily, I was able to transfer within Target and avoid having to find a job in the midst of moving! My last day at the Cape Girardeau Target was a bittersweet one. I will forever miss that team!
Our 3-day house hunting trip occurred at the end of March. On the last day, we found the perfect house. We called the agent just to be told the house had sold a couple hours earlier that morning. Noooooo! And of course after seeing that house, none of the other "possibilities" even existed as possibilities anymore… We were set on that house. So somehow we lucked into having that same house built on the lot of our choosing. The house is on schedule to be completed on July 31st!

I'm not looking forward to moving AGAIN, but I'm sooo ready to get out of this little apartment and into a new home! We already met with the decorator to make all of our flooring, paint, granite, cabinet/hardware, etc. selections. Our realtor does interior design as well, so she was a big help at this meeting! Next we met with the lighting company to select all the lights for the entire house. We had been told by others that this would be a very loooong appointment (like 6 hours long). I don't have that kind of time to spend on lights, so I was determined to be out in a couple of hours. In just under 2 hours, we were out the door! And last up was the plumbing fixture appointment. That was the easiest one yet. (And of course Thomas gets his tall toilets!)
So now we just wait and wait and wait!
So cool to see the features under construction like the ceilings and fireplace. And so glad Thom got his tall crappers for his massive, er, efforts.
