This is what I saw out of my window in the middle of town...
I SWEAR! Today was the start of the town Rodeo! It's kinda weird though, the 3rd guy in this picture ended up getting REALLY hurt before he even got there! A few blocks down the road he stopped and loaded is kid up onto the back of the horse and all of sudden, right next to us, the horse starts LOOSIN IT! He bucks the kid off and he lands in the street! He landed on his feet though and traffic was going about 2 mph so he was ok. But then the horse really goes nuts and bucks the guy off too! He flies up in the air and hit the CURB, on his chest and nut area. The horse kept going! He ran into a car and kept buckin in and out of traffic! It was really odd to watch.
So anywho~Today we went to our new house to sign contract papers and start choosing our options! We got there early so we went into our actual house which is still in the framing stage.
It was so neat to walk around in the actual place that will be OUR home. That's the front door and the fireplace with the stairs off to the left.
This is our bedroom window view upstairs. That building in the front is the pool, spa and patio area. Beyond that there will be another building but won't block all of our view. There is a big grass area that is so far a soccer field but will later be developed into a park!
These are the models. They told us today that this will be our color scheme too and all the rock and window shutters are standard. Our floor plan is the one on the end!
We went into the model to scout things out again and take some notes since we just ran through last time. This is the view through the front door of the living room and dinning room. One porch is off of the dinning room to the right.
This is the view of the dinning room into the kitchen. I LOVE the bar! Just enough room for the three kids to eat breakfast! It really makes the whole thing seem so much more open. We are putting in the rest of the green/gold/black granite we have and the backsplash is going to be tumbled stone with dots of the granite like you see there. The undercab lights really make a difference and they come standard!
This is the master bedroom with the window overlooking the pool and the park. I can't wait to see it with my stuff in here!
This is our bathroom - aaaaahhhhhhh...I can not WAIT to get in this jet tub! So pretty, and all the fixtures are standard, the lighting is standard, even the countertop - standard!
This is going to be M's room. It looks pretty big and should fit him just right. There are two small windows up high so they let in A LOT of light, plus another window. The girls room was under construction so I didn't get to check that out. Their bathroom is cool too, I am loving the seperated potty and tub from the sinks - perfect for the kids!
So we got out of there in pretty good shape I think. She really wasn't pushy with the upgrades at all and that made the whole experience a lot smoother. We upgraded a few things, but they give you $5000 worth of upgrades anyway, and that is just a little more than we spent. Mostly it was the jet tub, but that was just a must! So, things are going great and moving right along! Thanks for checkin in! TNT!

BTW: Did that SERIOUSLY happen to that guy on a horse? HOWDY Partner! You are SO going to "fit in" in Oakdale! :) haha! Think Oakdale has more "hickness" than where we live in Texas! The irony!
