We have a house! And it's mostly finished!

I don't have any photos to post tonight, as I am in WV at a hotel and have been on the road since 5pm. DH met the builder out at the house tonight and had the final walk-through. We now officially have the keys to our house! I guess there is a long list of things to be finished/fixed, but overall the house looks great and DH and DS will be hauling things over to the house this weekend that the moving company can't/won't/we-don't-want-them-to move.

I spent this morning and afternoon packing up a lot of the things in the kitchen - baking supplies, boxed mixes, spices, things we won't need until we're in the new house.

Since I never got around to sewing the cushion for DD's windowseat, I packed up the fabric and my machine to transport to the new house.
