Our floors are just getting further and further along....
And let's be honest.... They look AMAZING!
So much so that I may or may not have rolled around on them already.... Haha!
Some other new changes would be... 
Our grass is here! We had our irrigation installed a few days before our sod delivery.... But only for the front yard... Oh dear I'll tell you more about the back yard in a bit. They brought in two giant truck loads or 16 pallets for the front and side yards... That's a ton of grass! They installed it all in about 30 minuets it was crazy! 
These guys are going to go away and be swapped with actual sprinkler heads... They must have not heard me correctly when I told them that this area was going to be grass and not bushes... But it's pretty with these micro sprayers looks like a low fog!
These cool sprinkler heads make me feel like spider man shooting webs all over the place!
Obviously this means our Well is all set up and complete! The company we used was actually one of our clients so he gave us a hell of a deal!
Here she is with all her grass! I would like it to be noted that it looks like a storm coming from over in the right hand corner but.... Since the day we had our grass installed we did not have one single drop of rain until today. 3 full days of no rain! Crazy right? When we need it the most it's bone dry!
We have been waiting on the guy who did half of our fence to complete the rest of our fence.... But he's been MIA and hard to get on the phone. He has a few other jobs to complete around the property but we will see if that's even going to happen... From the last time we spoke to him we should be seek him out there tomorrow at 8:30am to fix the neighbors fence and also complete our fence. If you ask me I think he is going to be a no show and my patience is very very low. Get ready for an explosion. Not even joking.
On a much better note, we headed out to the house today to begin preparing our back yard for more dirt and grass, and eventually a deck. On our way out there we passed by a local plant nursery... 
...and we picked out our first two trees! We got a beautiful magnolia (since the flowers smell heavenly) and a hibiscus! Yes, I know it's kind of a slow start but we are learning as we go and slowly building the outside area of our dreams.
Here is my big strong man digging my holes :) how cute is he?
We had great ambitions to clear out more of the saw grass and vines with roots from the back yard but the heat was a killer. Most of what we got done in the back yard was just clean up. There were tons of water bottles thrown in the back corner and I have no idea where they came from! We cleared some cement blocks and some boards with nails in them as well but I think they were left over from the land being so over grown for so many years! 
We didn't even have a chance to spray the weeds! I think I almost blacked out a few times... I ended up with a t-shirt and shorts tan... And when I tried to power through throwing a few huge branches into the back of the truck I ended up covered in dirt! Thankfully no wasp stings or ant bites so I'm pretty happy! Even chugging all the water I could stand I am still fighting a headache that's just on the edge of being upgraded to a migraine. Oh and my knee... Bless its heart, after jumping out of the back of an SUV this week and landing wrong I am on and off crutches right now I'm back on. I'm ready to just cut it off and make it a peg leg. Seriously 3 surgeries is enough and I WON'T be going with a 4th
Here they are! 
Not much of a start but I am happy that I could do this with my wonderful husband by my side.
This week brings some more changes, we got the phone call shortly after I took this photo tonight letting us know that our cabinets are being delivered at 7am. Yep. Gross, we asked that he push it back till a little later but he said the truck is already loaded and the latest he can do it it 8:30. We seriously have the worst luck with deliveries! Not even sure if the truck can make it down the road but we will keep our fingers crossed! I'll have my camera ready to see the struggle haha. Our appliances are also scheduled to be delivered this week! Not too worried about them but I'm sure we will have some delivery issues with them as well.
We have almost all of our light fixtures and fans for the house but we are still deciding on what to do over the dining room table (that we also have not picked out), the office, and the bedroom. We were originally going to have a fan over the bed per The Hubs' request but he recently told me that he wouldn't mind a chandelier. Excuse me for a second while I pick my jaw up off the floor, what?! Okay. I know I want the chandelier covered in twigs for the bedroom but I don't feel like my stomach could handle me spending that kind of money only to hate it months down the road when there is dust on it! Haha. I have scoured my favorite salvage places looking for a shell of a chandelier I can convert into a luxurious drippy chandelier but have come up empty... Looking online I would spend about the same amount as the down payment on a car for the perfect drippy chandelier.... So I am open to suggestions on where to find one or what to do.
This is my top contender for the bedroom. Does it look too much like the bathroom one?
This is my top choice for the office.
And this guy is getting all my love for over the dining room table.
I just don't know. Obviously my theme is sparkles and bling. I just can't quit. I probably need to some sort of support group for this. Who knows. I've got to go pick some more money off the money tree so I will try and update tomorrow with news on the fence and the cabinets. Xoxo
