We're Getting Closer!!!

I thought I would update everyone on the progress of our new house. I took some new pictures last week, and have not had a moment to put them up yet, but here they are!!

Our outside is just nearly finished now! They poured our driveway and sidewalks last week. We are waiting to find out if the driveway will have to be ripped out and re-poured. The landscape guys are telling us that the pad was poured too high, and that we could have drainange problems along the side of our lot. We should find out today or tomorrow if we can have some french drains installed to fix the problem or if the driveway will need to be re-done. Pray with us that the drains will address the issue, if not, then having the driveway re-done will delay completion by 2-3 weeks! Yes, I said weeks!


This is a picture of the inside of the house from the entry. So, you are looking right through the entryway and stairs into the family room (the fireplace and windows).

Those are the best pictures I have right now, everything is still dusty and dirty and being worked on.
I will keep you all posted on a move-in date. We are so excited and feel all together blessed to finally be having our own home again. It is truly a gift from God. This past year has really helped us appreciate the little things - having the refrigerator in the Kitchen and not the garage, having your own silver ware, sitting on a couch and not lawn furniture :) and so many other little things.
We can't wait to share it with all of you!
