House Update from Mousse!

Hello again!!! I had to get on and tell you guys the latest with our HOUSE!!!!! A lot has happened since I last updated you. Mom and Dad take me out to the land as much as possible so I can make sure everything is going alright. As of this past weekend, all of my sticks and stranded tennis balls are in the spots I left them so NO WORRIES! Whew, right? I knew you were worried. Anyway...on to the HOUSE!!!!!!

ME!!!! (You can see Dad's dumpsters behind! Cool, huh??)

Mom was playing with her new camera....obviously the best part in the picture is me in the middle there :) Im standing where the house is going to go!

YUMMY!! Seriously you have to try the sticks out there. Not only are they HUGE but they taste GREAT!!!

This is all of us. Mom just had to get a shot of all of us. **gag** Eh...i still know how to ham it up!

OK so here is the cool part. These pics are in progression. Obviously not a lot has been done but as of tonight we have a foundation on our house!!!! (This is according to Mom and Dad...they didn't take me out with them today...the nerve) 

This is right after they cleared...the house is going smack in the middle!

This is the block for the foundation ready to be put in!! The "footers" are in at this point. I don't know what those are but they sound delicious. 

Another shot of the awesome block! (Cool fact? The firepit that Dad built for Mom when he proposed to her included some of these exact blocks!!!! What was even cooler was that is was right over yonder!!)

WE HAVE A FOUNDATION! YAY!!! I want to jump on it!!!

(Just a closer look of the foundation. That corner closest to you? Thats the kitchen! 

So yeah! Thats the latest and greatest!!! Hope everyone is doing GREAT and getting ready for Christ-mousse!!! hehehe :)

TIMBERRRRRRRRR!!!! (House Update)

Friday was a big day for us! WE BEGAN CLEARING OUR LOT!!!! After all this time and back and forth and stress and wondering if it EVER WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.....well it did :) We couldn't be more excited. We are at that illusive light at the end of the tunnel.


Since the lot is so big it will take a few days to clear all the underbrush and trees that we need to but I am going to take pictures of the progress.

Halfway down our future driveway! Whole lotta' trees!

More of the driveway...

Not too much going on but SO stoked to see something happening. Too early to pitch a tent out there? Yes?

Hope you had a FABULOUS weekend!

Hi! (Its me, Mousse!)

Hi people! 

I have had the BEST past couple days! Mom and Dad took me out to our land to mark for our new house! I LOVE going out there! SO many sticks, so little time..........................sorry! I was thinking about that huge tree that fell over......i wonder if it is still out there........ahem! anyway! They were staking out where the house is going to go and the site plan will finally be sent over to the county for approval! They hope to clear by the end of the month! So exciting for all of us!! WAHOO!

It all couldn't come soon enough! You want to see a sneak peak of the house!?

This is the site plan!  

It is kinda hard to tell but this is the front elevation!! 

This is the first floor...as you walk into the front door the kitchen is to the right, the living room and stairs to go up is to the left and straight back are two bedrooms.  

This is the second floor! As you walk up the stairs, the master bedroom is to the left and another bedroom is to the right. The coolest part? There is a balcony that is open below to the living room. I think that mom and dad are more excited about the house though....I am more excited about the yard! 3 1/2 acres??! I won't see the house for like two weeks. 

ANYWAY!! 

Dad got me some new toys! You wanna see em'?

 This one used to be a braided fleece kinda thing. Not sure but i LOVE playing tug-o-war with it! 

 This is another tug-o-war favorite!! (Plus you can see a little bit of the other toy scattered beside it haha!)

And the every but of wonderful tennis ball!! MY FAV THING EVER. Dad was cool enough to get me a HUGE one that even had a squeaker inside! Those squeaker things drive me CRAZY! I had to get it out....well....it doesn't squeak anymore so my job here is done. 

Talk to you all soon!

Wedding...Set...GO!!!!

It is official! May 21st, 2011 is our wedding date!! My parents, Jason and I met with Noel at Kingsmill on Saturday. Having the date set just made me SO excited.

This is the entrance to the Marina deck

This is one of the views of the deck...to include the SWEET firepit (and our future s'mores table)

This is where the food will be set up!

Another view of the deck.

This is where the DJ will be...cant get a better view!

View of the dock. The ceremony will be on the other side of it.

Mousse had to come check everything out. Well not really. He just wanted to play in the water....and he did :)

SO thats a little sneak preview. It is going to be such a fun wedding. Jason and I are on a mission to have it all planned out as far in advance as possible so we can just relax (well as much as possible haha). Jason also told me what he has in mind for our honeymoon and I am COMPLETLY stoked for it. More details later on that though.

In other news, our townhouse is officially off the market now. It was for sale through a realtor an entire YEAR. We are going to try our luck doing the "For Sale By Owner". Fingers crossed! We are kinda stuck in this limbo between selling the townhouse and starting construction on the new house....eh. Either way. Steady as it goes :)
