Our Dirt is Still Just Dirt

Unfortunately, we have nothing to report on the new home! Why am I blogging about nothing you ask? Because we're incredibly FRUSTRATED!!! We are not doubting anything. We are still very happy with our decision, however, it is hard to stay excited when there is no progress. Let me explain...in mid-January we went to the studio and picked out all our features and upgrades for the house! It was tons of fun! After that was completed we were told that they could apply for the permits and then the building would start. The permit process was only going to take 2-3 weeks. Well, do the math...it is 6 weeks later and we are still waiting on our permits! It's not that they won't be approved, it's just that the city is bogged down with lots of permit requests right now. Or at least that's what we've been told. The builder is doing a better job at keeping us updated since we complained a couple weeks ago and they said that it shouldn't take more than another week or two. We'll see. So, to keep our excitement elevated we have started making some purchases for the house. We have picked our decorating themes for each room and bought several pictures for our new Antique French style bedroom and Naturally Organic living room and kitchen!!! We're pretty happy with how we think it will turn out. So, today we will be looking at paint! We want red for the bedroom and master bath, sage for the living room and kitchen and a very pale yellow for the downstairs powder room. All other rooms will stay white for now.
Well, cross your fingers that we get a permit soon!
