Whoo Hoo

Finally, I have an update. There's really been so much going on I just have't had a chance to actually sit down and do this thing. OK, so last week was beautiful weather and we drove by the house every day and they didn't do a thing to it. Sunday after church I told Jason to drive by the office because I wanted to talk to our guy Tyler and find out what the heck was going on. There was no movement in the neighborhood for 4 days straight. Monday was labor day so we didn't figure there would be any action that day, but Tue, Wed, Thurs, and Fri we figured someone would be out there doing something!!! We got to the office and Ben was there and I just kind of asked him casually how it was going, let him know we'd been driving through the neighborhood, worried everyone had gone on strike, you know, the usual. They kindly assured us everything was fine. Some of the crew had gone on vacation but would be back this week to get things going. Jason got back from work Monday and we drove out to the lot and guess what..........THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE DOWN!!!!! They couldn't do any work today because it was raining but it looks like God is going to bless us with beautiful sunny weather for the rest of the week. They will probably have the whole outside framed come this weekend. I'm so excited!!!! It seemed like such a lull between the basement to now. Anyway, I took a few pics. Hope you enjoy!!! The house in the corner of the cul-de-sac is the same model as ours. Ours is going to have the country front porch and the 2ft extention in the back. We went through that house and let me tell ya, we are SO glad we got the 2ft bump out on the back. It makes all the difference in the world as far as square footage is concerned. The bump out goes all the way from the basement to the top floor. It even rearranges how the gues bathroom is laid out. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We have 2 potential buyers for this house. We believe it will sell in God's time but I can tell Jason is getting a little antsy about it all. Two mortages would really stink. We'd be OK for a while, we just don't want to have to do it at all, KWIM???

The neighborhood is beautiful. I really miss beautiful landscapes, living here in swampy Florida.

I know you guys are getting more excited everyday now. I remember that feeling and it's wonderful and horrible all at the same time. So much runs through your mind! I'm very proud of both of you and I thank God that He has chosen to bless you this way. This is a perfect example of how He provides for all our needs and many of our wants. Awesome!
