For those who didn't know, Matt and I have been building a townhome. We signed the papers in February, sold our other townhome in April, moved out and moved in with Matt's parents. It has been seven months since we moved and finally, this week we will be doing our final walk through of our home, and next week we will sign the papers. I have really missed having a home of our own. In a short week and a half we will be able to move in! :) I have really appreciated Matt's parents for letting us stay with them. I'm not sure they can say the same, but I will never forget what they have done for us. So many good things have come out of being there. One thing I am so glad we have now is our little dog Sawyer. He is now a part of our family and has a piece of our hearts. He has even won over the heart of my mom, who has never really liked pets before.

Now that I have seen our home done for the most part, being in there, it makes me so grateful for the fact that we will have our own place again. I haven't cooked a real meal since the last week we were in our townhome. Not really anyway. While we have been living with my in-laws, my parents have let me come over every day to workout at their home. I have really appreciated that, and seeing my family more has been a lot of fun, but I have to admit, it will be so nice to come home to exercise and be able to shower right after I'm done, saving time on traveling, which leaves me time and now a kitchen to be able to make dinners again, which in turn gives me time to unwind in the evenings. Not having a place of our own for a while has made me grateful for all these little things I have missed.
