House Update and Meeting Neighbors

This weekend our soon-to-be neighborhood held a pool party for current residents and those, like us, who are in construction. We got to meet 3 other families who are building on our street and they all seemed really great. All 4 of our homes should be finished towards the end of the year so it will be nice to have met a few people before move in.

Here is a picture of what our house looked like on Saturday, June 25, 2011. Our builder told us that we should expect to have the slab poured by this weekend if the weather cooperates. If he means cooperate by being 100 degrees then I think we have it covered!

And So It Begins!

We have been patiently waiting for the time when we would see some building progress on our new house. That time has finally arrived! We drove by our lot on Sunday evening (6/12) and to our surprise there were several workers and the forms were being put in place. Then we drove by again on Wednesday night (6/15) and so much had changed.

My goal is to use our blog to document the progress of our house being built. We'll see how well I do!

2011 Race for the Cure - Team Save Second Base

On Saturday, June 11th, Susan G. Komen held their annual Race for the Cure in Plano. This year I decided to form a team in honor of my dear friend, Angela, who is battling breast cancer. We had about 30 friends and family sign up to be on our team, Save Second Base, and we raised just over $1,800! Thanks to everyone for joining us and working hard to raise money!

We had several members of our team who ran the 5k while some of us walked the mile so most of the runners missed the picture.
