well hello, second floor

We're posting a lot of pics on the photo stream we have going with family, but I realized the last picture I posted was barely a first floor. The builders finished the first floor framing, and then the house basically stood still for a few weeks - boo. 

The reason was that all manpower was getting pooled to our neighbor's house, which is now officially  closed! While they installed the carpeting upstairs, we were able to walk through it, which is the first time we've actually walked through a house by our builder. The floor plan is very different than ours, but our neighbor picked similar fixtures and house basics were wonderful to see in person since our house will have the same feel. We still love it, YAY! 

Here is our neighbor's house. We were impressed with the finishing touches, and have our fingers crossed ours will have much of the same - especially the magnolia tree. 

And here is our house after a few more weeks of work. It's massive and we are so So SO excited to see where is goes the next few weeks. The builder said he'll have a better timeline once the drywall is in, but as of now, things are still on track for completing the build at the end of October. Happy Halloween to us!
