An End In Sight

Its been a long time since I have written about whats been going on in our lives, and I am just trying to start with where we are now.  But to understand the title I must do a small amount of back tracking.  In August of 2011 bought a house!  Hurray!  Oh, wait, this is like the 4th piece of property that we have purchased, but still Hurray!

This house is in the town where I work and a little further from where James works but still we are so excited.  It was a bank owned property that we have been working (and working and working and working) on since last fall.  But finally now there is an END in sight!  We are so excited at the prospect of finally living in the house that we have spent so much time in but haven't been able to live in!  Such and exciting thing to move in! Well, almost.  We still have several steps to go, but I can SEE the light at the end of the tunnel!  We have been pushing, and pushing, and pushing out the date of move in! First it was by Christmas, then it was Valentines, then it was by April, now we have to be moved in before June 25th!  James is having knee surgery and we need to be moved before then, bottom line, it has to happen.  So we are working as much as possible, as often as possible to get things ready!

I will post a couple of pictures soon of the house, and then I hope to do a before and after post later.  I am looking forward to that, it'll mean we're done! 

We pray that our hard work will help to make for a warm and welcoming home, a place to live and love to the glory of our Awesome God! 

"It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built." Luke 6:48

Social Life???

Not at at our house! We have been spending almost every spare moment since August working on a house in Colfax that we bought! Uuugghh! It's taking so long!! But I know it will be very worth it when we are done!

We are getting SO close to the finish, some more painting and flooring! Then we just have to install a few cabinets! There isn't much left on the list and I am so excited!!!

We hope all the moms out there had a wonderful day!!! We love you and appreciate you!!!

Making a Fresh Start....

At blogging that is! This is hopefully the beginning of a new trend to actually update the blog and fill family and friends in on what is happening in our world!

I am writing this blog from my phone! I know, welcome to the real world Erin, I am a bit behind the times with this one! But hopefully this will aid in my goal to stay up on this blog!

So hello again world, we are back online and hoping to bring you more and more life updates!
