4 Days to go...

Buying a house that is being built is a great distraction for turning 27. I know most of you think I am crazy for being caught up on the 27 number, but I feel like it is entering the "late 20's" makes me feel a little old too!

I just got word that my initial walk thoughof the house (that was suppose to be Sunday) has been rescheduled for tomorrow at 12:00 noon. I am so excited! I can't wait to see it all done and pretty!

So, there is one major appliance that doesn't come with the house...the Refrigerator! Well I guess I could have included as an upgrade to the house, but I wasn't thrilled with my options... If I am going to fork over that much money for a refrigerator, I want to really like it!

So for the past month or so the search for refrigerators has been on... Do I want a side by side, top mount, bottom mount, french door... Do I want an ice maker (YES ice maker is a must!) in the door? In the freezer? Water in the door? water inside the door? it goes on and on... oh also what color did I want it to be... Black, stainless (which isNOT fingerprint less), white, almond.... That was probably one of the easier questions to answer, Black, the rest of the appliances are black so they will match.

As for the "what kind of refrigerator do I want?" question not so easy. My parents have had a bottom freezer for years an I love it! I've had a top freezer in all the apartments I've lived in, and they are nothing special... I truly believe that side by sides are not good for bakers... it is just too hard to fit a cookie sheet in the freezer if you needed to. So I knew a side by side was out! Then there is the best of both worlds the french door bottom freezer.

So after much hemming and hawing this is what I found! I am so excited (plus I spent less on it than I would have if I went with the most basic refrigerator the builder would have supplied):



I went to Lowe's and they were AMAZING to work with I would recommend purchasing any appliance from them. And they really did have the best price around!
