Rain Rain Rain

Will it ever stop raining??? It has been raining here for close to 24 hours, and it is supposed to last until next Wednesday. Well other than the rain life is going great, my hubby and I got are appliances ordered today; one more thing to check off my to-do list. I worked on packing up things in Brenna's room this morning, so many memories from the last year, and so many clothes. I have never seen a 1 year old with so much clothing, I have filled one enormous plastic tub with clothing that no longer fits this little girl. I don't even want to imagine the amount of money that is in that tub, that may or may not be used again. Oh well, I guess if Brenna has a little brother someday he might have to embrace wearing pink, and dressess, LOL!!! We are about a month out from moving, the house is looking great. I can't wait to show everyone our new home!!! May God bless those of you who read this!!!

Sick Baby

Today my baby is home sick with the flu, no fun. Only good thing is that we have spent the morning snuggling on the couch, I love this time with her. Right now she is napping, I just pray that all of this sleeping is really doing her good.

When Daddy's Away the Girls Will Play!!!

This is what happens when Daddy is out in the field planting soybeans, Mommy and Brenna get silly and the tickle monster appears.

Paint, Paint, Paint

These are just some lovely pictures of the inside paint job. The first picture is of the east great room wall. The second picture is Brenna's room which is actually a bright yellow in person, the picture doesn't do the color justice. The bottom picture is looking west into what will eventually be our kitchen. NOTE: the door on the left is a walk in pantry, how great is that.

OUR NEW HOME

Today we ventured out to the new house to check out the progress. Looks like its coming along just fine, interior painting was finished this week and it looks like the brick will be done soon. I can't wait for all the wonderful memories we will make here.

There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main floor. We will have an open dining, livingroom and kitchen. Praise the Lord I will now have a laundry room, an attached garage and one of my most favorite parts is a coat closet. Yeah, I know you are thinking who cares about a coat closet, well I do because in our current home we have no closets other than the ones in our bedrooms. We also have a full basement that will not be finished for a few years.

My beautiful baby girl, sittin in her rocking chair at Grandma Fouts' house with her dolly. What a wonderful gift.

No More Work

I have officially resigned from my job and my last day will be August 15, 2008. I can't wait to spend more time with my daughter. I also am looking forward to finding time to explore other passions in my life, yet to be determined. I am so richly blessed.

Building a new home

We have been in the process of building our new home for about 2.5 months, and we are about six weeks out from move in, I can't wait. I never realized how much work building a house is, even when you're not the one picking up the hammer and nails and doing the physical labor. There are so many choices to make that at times I have felt like I wanted to pull out my hair. Well the decisions are almost over, I have to finalize the appliances as well as pick up my lighting fixtures and buy a storm door, but those are kind of minor details. I just praise the Lord everyday that he has blessed our family so richly. I can't wait to see what His plans are for us.
