Thanks all! We are excited to be finished with the build and just moving in soon!! Then there will be decorating, landscaping, home automation, etc etc etc.

I'm taking my first post-licensing real estate course. I go 2 days a week ALL day for 4 days. It's a loooong day ... lol. BUT I'm learning more in-depth about contracts, which is something I will need to know. And I'm networking with other agents, who have been agents less than a year, and so have been giving me the scoop on who to work for and where. Of course, I do not plan on working until after the 1st of the year. I want to be settled into the new house and get through the holidays, both of which are stressful enough without starting a new job too.

I'm excited, though, to close the chapter on this year, and open a new one for next. I'm also keenly aware of how great my life is now since getting sober ten years ago. When I was drinking, I couldn't hold a job long for various reasons -- hangovers, constant conflicts, emotional instability. And there was no way I would have EVER gotten through the real estate class or passed the test. So, I have a lot to be grateful for.

I've been eating on track and going to try to get in some exercise today. I forgot my apple watch charger in a hotel last weekend, and I am really hoping the new charger arrives today because I feel kinda lazy without that watch tracking my exercise. It's like if the watch doesn't track it, it didn't happen. Ahh, instant gratification ... lol
 
Jenni congratulations on being sober for such a long time . You should be very proud of yourself and your beautiful new home and your new career . Well done on eating well through this period too of getting your house ready to move into xo
 
So wonderful you can move in soon! I picture lots of snuggling up by the lovely fireplace this winter!! It's amazing how you turned your life around and can really take care of yourself now! I think most of the battle is learning to do that, and putting your emotional and physical health as a top priorities. It took me ages to figure out that you can't help other people if you aren't taking care of yourself first!!
 
Oh, wow! It's stunning with all the light and beautiful wood and stone. Love the front door and the greys with the flooring and the lighting. So nice and open and you have all that luxurious space!

Happy Thanksgiving, and hope your dinner goes great in the new kitchen!!

Thank you! I need to get a shot of the front porch so you can see where I went with the stain and stuff. Right now it's blocked because I have the shower door guys here installing (but that's another story ... grrr)
 
Thanks!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm cooking an easy meal: turkey, mac-n-cheese, green bean casserole, pineapple casserole, and I bought a sweet potato pie. Friends are bringing mashed potatoes.

Photographed my master bath this morning. I probably dump photos of the house in here as I take them. I kinda feel like yall went on this journey with me, as I started this diary about a year ago when we had not even broke ground. Can't believe how fast it went (but how long it felt at the time).

Love how the stain for the porch pillars came out! Really perfect.

And I'm amazed you got your tree up already. I need to find mine, which I am not looking forward to. Can't wait until I finally unpack everything and get rid of a lot of stuff.

It's so cute how your dog's ears are exactly the same in life and in the portrait. Very adorable!!
 
I am so so jealous your house is so clean and fresh and modern . Ours is 20 years old now and dated . Your thanksgiving meal sounds great . Makes me look forward to my Christmas meal . Love cuddles he is adorable
