Blog Update

SURPRISE!!
It's ME!!
After several months of being absent, I am BACK!!
I have lots of news, but most importantly, I want to thank you for hanging in there!
Please bear with me through the changes of the blog. I am trying out something new working with WORD 2010 and posting from there.
There may be a hitch or two, but we will get the kinks worked out soon enough!
Anyway, WELCOME BACK! I can't wait to talk to you all!!

 

 

This is a test

This is a test to see how the posting goes in from Word. This is only a test. And not one from your emergency broadcast system, mind you. ;o)

 

Crumbling

Ever felt like your world is crumbling all around you?

Out of control.

Losing all you love?

I. DO.

Too much

The disappointment is too much to bear about the house.

So I am sparing you the details, but still blogging from my phone...

Because everything else is in storage.

The one thing I AM excited about is going home this week.

We will be making several stops before we get to my sister's; but i am welcoming the trip!

After we got back from doing house stuff, we had dinner with Kelly and Tommy. (the friends who we are staying with).

I uploaded a phone from the back deck in facebook, but can't add from my phone. So check it out there, if you want.

Until i have better news about the house, I wont be posting.

Hopefully, I will talk to you soon!

Last week was hard to swallow.
The installation of our tile shower was botched.
It still is botched.
It has been a stressful time.
Especially because we want to be into the house by next week.
So having a botched shower wasn't really what we were anticipating.
But the builder is going to try and rectify the situation, so I am going to spare you the agony of looking at the photos of a tile shower that was so poorly constructed.

Instead, I am going to show you the happy updates that we saw last night.

See the {sold} sign?? THAT'S US!!

We met the neighbors that bought to the left of us last night. We all kind of congregated around our driveway (A & K and the new neighbors). The mosquitos were quite crazy, and so we moved over to A & K's garage.

They have started to grade, and I am still hoping they will clear out the back where the easement is, as I had requested. Why they didn't when they graded the land next to us, I have no idea. But it is on my walk through check list.

It's possible we will have a Certificate of Occupancy by Wednesday. It's getting down to the wire. There is always a big push at the end, right?

One more thing...
The floors are beautiful.
Probably my favorite thing in the house.
Seriously.
And I can't wait until you see them in person. Won't you make a reservation and come stay with us?

Here's to hoping for smooth sailing next week!

be blessed,

Time Crunch

I have missed several weeks of updating the progress of the house. It's because there just isn't much to update, other than the fact of lack of progress and mistakes. And that gets old and depressing.

So in addition to the lack of progress, what HAS been occuring is alot of mess ups.

Friday came and I was so excited about going down to see the progress due to the fact that we were told the flooring would be brought in to get acclimated early in the week, and the laying would be started on Thursday. I was SO excited about this because it means we are nearing the end.

But much to our dismay, no flooring was in the house. The door was wide open; not locked, with no one in sight.

See... depressing. Depressing that others do not value what we are putting our livelihood in to.

Mistakes occur. Over and Over and Over again.

Our shower was tiled incorrectly. No spacers were used. The tiling on the walls are uneven; not even the pattern we chose. And the floor... it's ridiculously wrong.

{This makes me sick. Literally. I think I have an ulcer or something. I have been sick for the better part of 5-6 weeks, throwing up. We are not pregnant. I can't keep much down, yet do not seem to lose any weight. I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday. Keep me in your prayers.}

 And... our appliances were just ordered. You know... the ones we picked out months ago because we were told to? Just. Ordered.

Have I mentioned that we are out of our current house in 10 days? Yes... TEN days!

So... I think I might have an ulcer. ;o)

To top off not blogging... I missed blogging about little J's bday. He turned 8!

 Eight! Can you believe it?? Love you, mister!

Hopefully I have more positive things to report at the end of the week before the computer gets packed up.

be blessed!
