Well I am getting wiser and and realized I can cherry pick photos off of my digital to put them on the blog. So now you can see the work in progress. To the right is the monster shed project we have been working on forever and the girls are standing in the form for the slab. So now our house is starting to be constructed. We are building a mini mansion of 1500ish square feet its a little bit smaller than our house in town. We are building off center so we can add bedrooms as we are hoping our family will grow. Also we officially have electricity on the property as of yesterday...WOOHOO!

Here is what is next.....
1. Finish a little more of the shed...yes it still is not done! But all of our stuff is in it and we do not have to pay for storage...praise God because I've had to pay our first construction loan payment!
2. Getting the water (get a trencher, trench & lay pipes) scheduled for this weekend.
3. Move the trailer from the lovely (it is a cute little park) 'Lazy G' RV Park to the property. Get electricity and water into the shed
4. Finish the shed......

My life right now is a big whirlwind. We are always running here or there and we have not really been able to sit still all summer. For instance today we went to the movies, Krogers, post office, bank, Reynolds & Reynolds (hubby's job), Ouida's House (laundry and computer access) and at least 6 phone calls organizing things for the property and the birthday party. Really, my only rest as of late has been my quiet time. We are slowing down next week....its not optional. We are going to be still and KNOW that he is God.

On that note I think it is so hysterical that I am reading Exodus right now and I feel just like the Israelites wandering around and unfocused.... I love how Exodus just keeps reminding me how easy it is to get my focus off of God and how all he wants me to do is to love Him ( andthus obey his commands).

This weekend is Parker's Birthday she is going to be 4....I cannot believe it!

Thanks for checking up on us....

Where is the Party IV

Well we are still in the Lazy G RV Park in College Station. We are preparing to move to the country at the end of this month. We are rapidly approaching the storage deadline and it looks like we may make it. Wayne refereed football last weekend and will be going on a fun work trip to Florida this weekend. So he'll have to take Monday & Tuesday of next week off to move stuff from storage to the property. Also to finish the nearly finished shed. Last week the frame for the slab went in so now we have actually begun to build. We are moving the trailer onto the land hopefully on the 26th of this month (we have to be out before the 1st or pay rent again). One minor problem....no electricity or water, yet. So keep praying for us that everything falls into place so we can make the two new deadlines.

Yee Haw!

Where is the Party III

We did not make it but we are making great progress.

The shed has almost all of it's rafters, we have put the walls in on the inside. Mr. Bill Moss (who is builiding or 1500sq foot palace) order and put in the road base stuff so now we have a useable driveway! We have one property line completely cut in and we are about 1/2 done cutting in the other property line. But most importantly we have money!!!! We signed our construction loan!!! We should start construction on...Thursday ish it's all dependent on rain!!! So there's something to pray about that perhaps Carlos area would not get so much rain!!!!

We still need: Electricity we are just waiting on Mr. Crenshaw, Water we need to get a ditch witch and put the pipes down, Roof, doors and windows on the shed & Move the trailer out to the property. Our new deadlines are the 23rd for the shed and the 28th for the trailer!

Fun family stuff...Walnut (the Lab puppy) is fitting right in and he so much fun! We are getting ready to have fireworks at our place on the 4th hooray!!!! Finally, I am still without a phone.
Keep praying....
