Plans

Our anticipated closing date for our house is November 23. That's our date until something interesting happened. While checking in on our house I noticed that our arch on the porch was a little low. In fact, the top of the ach is 82" from the ground! That’s less than seven feet! I called our builder and basically told him that we're not closing until it’s fixed. Coincidently the builder has not been able to contact his brick expert. Probably because he knows that he's in deep trouble. It turns out that there are five like houses. All of the houses have different arches! Two of the houses have the same arch just at different elevations. Our house and another like ours are too low and another doesn't even have an arch. So in the long run we'll probably be closing the following week which will push back our move in date. Any Thanksgiving Plans I had are now up in the air.

Christmas should be better. We're going up to Dallas to visit the family. Both sides of my family live in the Big D and we haven't seen them for almost a year. In fact the last time we saw them was on our wedding day, which means with everything going on we didn't really see them. My dad whom I haven't seen since January will also be coming down from South Dakota. It will be great to see him again! We were planning on going up to OKC too but that's been ruled out. Either way, this will be a good Christmas break. Especially since Steph and I will be married for one year as of January 3!
