However, this week has been very productive. I signed the contract on Tuesday and by Wednesday morning, this was happening...
Yes, that is right...they are moving dirt! I could not believe it! Wow, they do not waste any time! I drove by today and they are actually framing it up to pour the slab! Very impressive!!! And, I cannot believe I did not take a picture!
And, I am being honest here, I am ready to get back to Brussels. Not because I miss it so much, but because if I were here, I would be the most annoying home builder ever. I would drive by daily, probably critic everything they do, and make too many changes on things that I have already decided on. See, something you may not know about me...I do not make decisions well. I am the type that needs to know all my options, all of them, so I can make an educated decision. However, I always second guess myself and change my mind.
God was with me as I made the initial decisions about my house. Seriously, I did not stress or feel overwhelmed at all about making them, I saw my choices and made them...and was done within a couple of hours. I chose my brick, shingles, shudders, outside paint, hardwood, cabinets, granite, tile, lights, etc. Everything. I walked away with only a couple of items to finalize.
Then, my mind started thinking...and today, I redesigned my entire kitchen. Yes, that is what I said...the entire thing. I chose completely different cabinets and island! Now, that means tomorrow I have to go and make sure the granite and hardwood are still fine.
This is not good. I must learn to make a decision and go with it. When it comes to work decisions, I am totally confident and make a decision and stick to it. But when it comes to my personal life, I second guess everything. What is up with that??
So, here we are...I love my new kitchen and totally happy about it now. I would post a picture but you really would not get a good idea from the picture I have...so it will have to be a surprise!!
Aren't you excited!!??
I AM excited!!! And don't you dare limit yourself on the house updates... we (or at least I) love them!!!

I love them too! I've never built a house so I'm looking forward to peeking at you during this process!And the kitchen is so important, I'm glad you reworked your ideas! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI am really feeling your excitement! I have always, always wanted to design and build a house!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I don't always know what I want until I've lived in the space for awhile and I know how it functions. So above all else, just love the fact that its all yours!
i think we all are just as excited to hear about your house as we are your overseas adventures. but i need to ask...will you keep your blog up after getting back for good? you practically have a travel guide book already written...what a shame to lose it! :) every person you know who visits any of the countries you did will be asking you, for years to come, what you recommend.
