House Update II
Posted on | February 6, 2010 | 3 Comments
This morning Aaron and I visited an appliance warehouse to pick out our kitchen appliances. The front of the showroom was filled with Viking ranges and SubZero refrigerators; floor to ceiling wine coolers and showroom kitchens you’d want to live in forever.
Our salesman met us up front and led us aaaaaaall the way to a little back room, for Average Janes and Joes like us.
But that’s okay, because picking out brand new appliances and the most beautiful fridge I’ve ever owned was a thrilling experience. We decided to go with a double wall oven, and my husband just doesn’t even know how handy that is going to be when we host Thanksgiving this year.
It’s a real grown up house. I cannot wait to move. We’ve done pretty well in this little place the past 21 months, but knowing that our forever house is only a few months away makes the imperfect things about this place harder to deal with. Aaron keeps saying that he’s going to keep groping around in the dark in our new closet and that we’re still going to brush our teeth over the same sink and fight over who gets to hit snooze and who HAS to get up and shower in order for us to get to work on time.
After we left the appliance store, Aaron went to work and I drove by the lot. There were people working so I didn’t get out, instead opting to creepily idle on the street and take pictures from my car with my phone.
There are two stories! And a garage!
It won’t be long now!

So exciting! Growing up, my dad built 3 of our houses and I loved seeing the progress. I kind of envy you now.

I love, love, love my double wall oven! You will use both ovens so much more often than you think. At the holidays – double ovens are a little piece of magic.
The new house is looking great!

Love the house updates, but I cannot believe builders are actually building through that kind of chilly winter weather! I had no idea that you could build a house in the winter.
