Productive weekend

Chuck and I took a much needed last minute trip to Peoria, IL this last weekend. We needed to meet with the builder and get everything picked out for the house so they can start building. We got into Peoria after 10 pm Friday night and left at 5 am Tuesday. Our 3 days there were completely booked with meetings with all the suppliers.
Even though it was crazy busy we had an amazing time. We are trilled to have O'Neal builders building us our dream home! They are an amazing team and build beautiful homes. Our designer was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the experience enjoyable instead of overwhelming. We worked around the clock with her while we were there and got it all done.

Here we are in front of part of our land. It's partially cleared here. They are getting all the permits and clearing the rest this week so they can dig the basement next week. They are going to keep us up to date with everything that's happening and will be e-mailing us pictures of the progress. We are so happy with our decision to build and can't wait to see all our selections come together!

While we were in Peoria we got an offer on our house in Birmingham! We came to an agreement with the buyer and the inspection was Tuesday. Now it's official that the kids and I will be in Peoria by June 1st. Chuck will crash with someone while he finishes through the end of June. Could the weekend have been any more productive?!?!?!
