Our house...

Here is our house. Don't mind the mess, we are still working on getting things organized. Also these pictures were taken with my crappy point and shoot. I can't up load any pictures from my good cameras to this computer for whatever reason. So we are working on that. In the mean time I wanted you all to be able to see the house and how it is shaping up!

Here is the view from the front: (with my mom's behemoth of a truck in the driveway)

Yes that is my mom on the balcony. She was using her new miter saw (sp?) to finish cutting the chair rail for Cady's room.

Here is our guest/workout room downstairs. We have a day bed with trundle and our handy dandy treadmill.

There is a full bath downstairs which my sister Whitney and her husband Cord can attest is very nice. :o)

In the hall leading to the bedroom downstairs there was a little inset area that we decided would be perfect for half my book collection.

Our living room.

And Dining room...

And here is the kitchen. We love that the downstairs is practically one big room. Easy to keep track of the kids!

Here is what you see when you come in our front door...

Up stairs we have the loft...which has become the toy/craft/computer room.

Here is the third upstairs bedroom. It is officially our "crap" room. All the stuff we don't know what to do with yet is in this room. The other half of my book collection is up here as well.

Here is a close up of the gold chair rail in Cady's room...

Here is Cady's room. She wanted a princess themed room. Once the chair rail is up we have a bunch of wall stickers of the Disney princesses that we will be putting up as well. I will take more pictures when it is finished!

The kids bathroom:

The master bathroom:

And the Master bedroom. I LOVE my room.

So that is the basic tour of our house! I will post more pictures as we finish things and get more organized. So far my favorite thing is having my own bedroom! So nice! We also have a small back yard (not too small) which I will post pictures of once we get permission to landscape it.

Mail box keys are hard to come by...

So since we moved in we have been waiting to get our mail box key. We had to take our title documents down to the post office and they would check that we actually owned the house and then they give us our key. Sounds simple right? Not so much.
I went down the first Saturday we lived in the house (I don't have a car during the week since Brady's died on us). I waited in line for 45 minutes and then waited for another 20 while the guy at the counter looked for the key. He came back and told me they didn't have it yet and to come back in a week. Bummer. So I came back the following weekend. Another 30 minute wait...still don't have it. The third weekend (this past weekend) we decided to call first. They still don't have our key and then told us that the builder had yet to release it. Ummmm...right. Called the builder. They have no idea what USPS was talking about but said that they would look into it and to call back Monday. I called Tuesday and the builder tells me that they don't have keys to release since the post office is the one that installs our boxes and then mail themselves the keys to give to us home owners. Great. This is getting FUN now. So I call back the post office. The chick that answered the phone was great. When I asked about our key she immediately asks me if I live on Headrick. I say yes. She then explains that they are holding out mail at the post office since our box hasn't been installed yet (there is only one on the street and it only has 12 boxes in it...there are about 20 finished houses on the street...yeah didn't add up for me either and I suck at math). So once the box has been installed we will get a key. For now we have to get our mail at the post office. I asked if they were going to reimburse me for gas. She just laughed...I think she thought I was joking.

*Sigh*
