Home Sweet Home

We closed on our new house almost two months ago, but still have not moved in. Due to Mark's busy schedule for the holidays, the extreme cold weather lately, and the fact that we are trying to do most of the work ourselves...this once small re-model project has become quite the project! Although it feels like there is still much to do, we have made a lot of progress and are thankful for those who have helped along the way!
As of last night:
-the upper cabinets are finally hung! (thank you Tim and Bryan)
-the microwave has been installed
-the stove is out of the box and waiting to be used!
-the master bedroom is about 96% finished!

Still to be done before moving day:
-kitchen floors
-install base cabinets, countertops, and kitchen sink
-a few minor electrical things
-finish painting the master bedroom
-install closet shelving in master closet

Mark has a goal to begin moving this weekend, but I'm not so optimistic. We shall see! Once we move in we will work on the living and dining room walls, the bathroom walls, and sometime before June we will get the baby's room done!

I will post before and after pictures once everything gets cleaned up, but for now here is a picture of the outside of our new home in Prague, OK.
