Willie's Picnic Pictures

The picture to the left was taken at Billy Bob's on July 3rd before the festivities began. And here are some of the pictures from the picnic. There was definitely a diverse crowd of people at this event. Enjoy..... http://www.mattandree.com/galleries/willies-picnic/willies_picnic.htm

On the Road Again.......

So here we are, the Radisson Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. We are getting ready to enjoy 2 days of Woodstock (Country Style YEE-HAW). We hope to have some event pictures shortly. To find out more about where and what we are doing here, please check out http://www.williespicnic.com/

Site Online Again

Our website has been brought back online. The machine moved from the apartment to the house over the weekend and took a little time to move ISP information. We are also in the process of unpacking everything and will start putting pictures online of our progress when we have time.

Cajun's Come to Town

My parents came to town this weekend to visit Sheree' and I and to see our new home. They were all so close when all of a sudden their truck broke down. We had it towed to a transmission shop on Saturday and will hear something on Monday about what is wrong with it. We are counting down the days before our movers arrive on Wednesday to unload the truck.

Is it Hot Enough

On the way home from work today, I took a picture of my temperature gauge on my rear view mirror. The picture says enough. We should be posting some more pictures tonight of our house. I think we are off to eat and then to shop for some furniture.

House Update

Since Monday, we have had painters adding color to our rooms in our house, mostly in the common areas. They expect to be completed by Thursday afternoon. Our cable and internet are also being installed this week. On Saturday we should be getting our blinds installed and possibly our security system. Next week on Wed-Thu-Fri, we will have the movers bringing our stuff to our home, finally. We are fixing to have a whole lot of fun unboxing (it'll be like opening Christmas gifts.)

We plan to pass by the house today to check on the status of the painting and should have some pictures later this evening on the site.

Our New Home!

It's final, the papers say it is ours. Our new home is awesome. It has been non-stop trying to get odds and ends taking care of before we move in. We are scheduled to move in the week of June 11th. Hopefully everything will go smooth. Until then, we will be sure to keep you posted.

Thursday is the Day!

We are scheduled to close on the house this Thursday. We are waiting on a few minor adjustments to be made to the granite countertops in our kitchen and our front door to come in, that's pretty much it. It's unbelievable how fast everything has happened. Soon we while be moving out of our temporary apartment (http://www.vineyardsapts.com/photogallery.html) and into our new home. We want to send out pictures and our new address to everyone, so please email us your home address at matt@mattandree.com . Catch ya'll later!

Almost Home!

What's up? Matt and I have been soo busy with finalizing the last few remaining details before we can close on the house. We are hoping to close this week if all goes as expected. Today we are supposed to meet with our builder for a walk-through. It is very exciting. Our kitchen appliances went in this past week. They are pretty awesome. They are manufactured by "Kitchen-Aid". We are very pleased with them. Well, I better get ready to go meet Matt.

New House Update

While i'm getting some coffee and taking a break from working (Server Maintenance) at the apartment, I figured I could post an update to our new home progress. I passed by the house yesterday evening and noticed that they had installed the flooring in the bathrooms and also had laid the carpet throughout the house. The backyard fence has also been put up. The first thing that I realized aboout the fence was that the gate on the side of the house will be too small for the hot tub to get thru. I guess we will have to take the side fence down for the movers to pass through. I also noticed however, that they installed the wrong front door. That may be due to the fact that we had recently upgraded the door to a full glass entrance door. I will try and pass there tomorrow evening and take some update pictures of the progress.

Things are coming together fast . . . .

I passed by the house yesterday and to my suprise, sod and landscaping were done.

I see green stuff

There is finally signs of life at our new house as we were pleased to see that the 2 oak trees were delivered and planted in our front yard. We are so glad that we went with 2 oak trees instead of pine trees. What was really amazing is the size of the trees (much, much larger than expected.) I also received a call from Chad, our builder, in which he wants to do a watch thru around May 18th and then again a week later. We are getting closer and closer to moving into our new home. Sorry about the picture quality, but I had to take the picture from my phone as we left the camera at the apartment.

Later,

Weekend Warriors

Matt and I laid out by the pool all day yesterday and today, trying to work on our dark summer tans,LOL. We had a lot of fun. We actually had the chance to meet a few of our new neighbors at Falcon Ranch this weekend. They we all very friendly people. The house is now one step closer to being completed, the kitchen, foyer, master bath, and powder room floor tile has been installed, as well as the marble in the bathrooms and the granite countertops in the kitchen. The apartment we are in seems to be getting smaller and smaller. We did close on the house in Lafayette this past Friday morning. It was kind of a sad day. Our first house, sold to someone else, but the thought of our new life and house is soooo very exciting, it makes us feel happy once again. Well, I guess that's all for now.

THE SIGN SAYS IT ALL !

Hi everyone, I am feeling alot better these days. Last week went by sooo fast. We are now moved into our apartment in Katy. Hopefully our new house will be completed around June 1st. There is still so much work to be done. Outside has to be finished, alot of work still pending on the inside, and you can tell by the picture, the yard doesn't really exist yet! We will be sure to keep you posted on all the progress as it takes place.

BYE----E

Day 3: The crew has left the building - and Sheree' is back home

This day is finally over..........I am wore out and Sheree' is recooperating slowly. All and all, the weekend is here and we intend to enjoy it........And by the way, it took 1 FULL trailer to haul our stuff.

Day 2: The Loading has begun and Sheree' goes to the Hospital

They have begun loading the truck and Sheree' had to be brought to the hospital as she has become very sick. Thanks Amy and Debbie for bringing her.

Day 2: Jesse and the crew are back

Jesse and the crew are back this morning and already deep into the packing process. They expect to be finished boxing today and should have everything loaded on the trailer by end of day. They are hoping for that at least - time will tell. We also expect a technician to show up today to disconnect the hot tub, fridge, washer and dryer. They are also building custom crates for the Curio cabinet and plasma tv that is in the movie room.

Day 1: They came, they saw, they called in backup.....

Guess someone was wrong about only needing 1/2 a trailer. Instead, we now have 2 trucks.

Day 1: Atlas is here...... Let the fun begin

The guys are here to begin the fun process of packing us up. They looked in all the rooms and told us that we had way way to much stuff for only two people. Guess it's time for a garage sale when we get to Katy. At least this is my thought until Sheree' reads this post.

Heading out of town

Hi everyone, today we are packing up all our belongings from Lafayette,LA and heading west to Katy,TX. This packing bit is not fun. I am so ready for the new house. We have a temporary apartment until the build is complete. Oh no, Matt has noticed I have slipped away from packing and that I am on the computer. Time to go..........LOL
