Progress on our new home!

Last weekend was Accepted Students day at VCOM and we had several people come to look at our townhome to see if they wanted to rent.  We got a call later that evening from the married couple that came by and they want to rent!! They are super sweet and Jarod and I couldn't be more relieved to have that off our plate! :)

In house news....
Our new home in GA is coming together!  We will get to go down in May to "close" and see it before it's officially done.  Here are some pics!









Master bathroom...Isn't it beautiful?? ha ha.....

This is the first weekend that Jarod has had off for over two months!!  We are heading to Richmond tomorrow to see my cousin, Lauren, play in a soccer tourament!  We're both just tickled to be able to spend time much needed time together this weekend!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend & enjoy the beautiful weather we're supposed to have!

Rainy day

It's pouring here today so I thought I would post something that should make you smile.  At least I know it makes my heart melt :)


She is just too cute for words.  Unfortunately, this Momma has to leave work early today to take Lilly for some updates on shots :(  No fun....

Happy Rainy day!

"Start writing a new chapter, for if you live by the book you'll never make history"

Construction on our house has started!  They poured the slab and are going to start framing tomorrow!  Below are some pictures:


Our lot from the street (it's a little over an acre)  We will have a privacy fence in the back since there are houses behind us

 We are right near the entrance to the subdivision

 Standing inside where our home will be! :)

 This is what is to the left of us

Our kitchen cabinets and the hard wood flooring (which will go throughout the house except the kitchen!) The small tile is what will be in our kitchen and guest bathrooms

This is a picture of our granite countertops in the "yard" of the place where we're getting it from.  The picture doesn't do it justice- it is BEAUTIFUL!


We have four months until we move!  I am having a hard time with leaving the home  I've always known and most of all, my parents.  It will be extremely hard for me to adjust to not seeing my Mom everyday (we work in the same building now) and seeing my Dad as well.  Everytime I think about it, I get very emotionally (which is NOT like me).  I will have to teach them how to skype so we can talk through that!  I am excited about our new adventure together and our future in GA, just trying to get used to the idea! :)
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Tile, flooring, light fixtures...Oh my!

Last weekend, Jarod and I flew down to Valdosta for a quick trip to pick out some house stuff!  We initially thought we were going to have to do all this through mailing samples back and forth and looking online but I'm SO glad we were able to fly down to get everything done!
We were able to pick out all of our light fixtures; all of the kitchen tile, backsplash, countertops; and then all of our bathroom tiles, sinks, etc. 
Our next trip will be in May to do the walk through before the flooring goes down!  We are so excited and it made everything feel REAL!  Instead of just a house plan on paper, we now have actualy ITEMS to go in our house :) 
I took some photos of our lot that I will try and post tomorrow!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!

A big step....

Hubs will be done with his residency at the end of June and after what has seemed like eternity, we have finally decided to take a leap of faith and accept an offer in South GA.  We are extremely excited about this new journey, anxious about the future, and sad to leave our Virginia home that we've loved so much (me- my entire life) and Hubs (almost 8 years).  We are ready to start that next chapter in our lives and grow together as a family!

So....that leaves a list of things that we have to get done before moving the first of July!!! YIKES!!
-Sell/Rent our townhome
-Build/furnish/decorate a new home in South GA
-Find a medical office for Jarod to start seeing patients in August
-Hire office staff
-ME- find a job!
-PACK! ugghhhh....
-UNpack!
-prepare ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically for the change

We went out the other weekend to pick out furniture for the new house (because let's face it, everything we have now is from college or before and we need new pretty stuff to go in the new pretty house :)  Here are some pics of the furniture we've picked out (unless I change my mind, which I have been known to do from time to time)

Master bedroom furniture
 Formal Sitting room furniture
 Two of these sofas for the "step down" room (living room)
Jarod's "Man" chair for the step down room

TV console for step down room

Dining room table (not getting the big hutch)




So I need some help (not sure if anyone even reads this honestly besides Jarod)!!!  What color (s) should I use on the walls??  The house plan is very open so when you walk into the foyer, you see the dining room to your left and straight ahead is the formal sitting room with a fireplace...I need to have one main color and then an accent color in the dining room.  I don't know why but the paint color is really stressing me out....
Help!!! :) 
Hope everyone is having a great week!! I'm really wanting to see some SNOW today!

New Years Eve & Christmas #2

Since we were in Georgia for Christmas, we spent New Years with my Mom and Dad.  My brother and his fiance were able to come up too! We all went to the Hotel Roanoke for their New Years Eve celebration! We had a fabulous meal and danced the night away with the band "The Kings"! 













Hope Everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season!
