Back in business!

The wiring is back in- the insurance took care of everything, with some help from the electricians(thank you Lord!!) The foam insulation is going in tomorrow, and sheetrock the first of next week! David has been chopping down dead trees and cutting it up for firewood. He has enjoyed having a place to get outside and "mess"! I have too! : )

Dishonesty is disheartening!!

Our builder called the police first, and then David. In the wee hours of this morning, someone broke into our new house and stole every electrical wire, insulated coppper wire, and damaged the plumbing. They ripped every single wire from the ceiling, walls, and downstairs. In the process, they bent and damaged our plumbing pipe. Our house is 2500 sq feet, so we are talking about hundreds of dollars worth of wire!! The police have filed a report, but what can we do?!? I get up every morning at 6:00 a.m. and go to work to make an honest living. I try to do the right thing, and live by the golden rule. The dishonesty of some is disheartening! Now we are behind schedule and out thousands of dollars! The nerve of some people.... GGggrrrrrr......

Exterior windows and doors are in!

The exterior windows and doors are in. The deck is finished (minus the stairs, but we have to wait on the driveway for that), the foam insulation has been sprayed downstairs, the arches are in for the doorway openings, and the roof is about halfway shingled. Lots of fun stuff happening this week!

Chyann turns eight years old!

A neice on David's side, Chyann, turned eight today! We celebrated at David's mom's house with dinner, gifts, and cake. We bought her a Cabbage Patch doll, complete with a "real" birth certificate and adoption papers, which she quickly filled out. We love Chyann- I secretly wish she was mine! She is so sweet and perfect!!!

Electric work is almost finished!

Wires, light boxes, outlets, and can lights are almost all in!! Deciding where to have lights, what kind, and where the switches will go has been fun! : )

Dinner at Zack and Amy's house!

We had dinner Sunday night with the Hickmans,and David was on baby patrol all night. He loved it!! We watched, "Blood Diamonds", and David rocked, craddled, and otherwise kept Zayde in lullaybye-land. I snuck to the nursery to check out her new curtains!

Lyndsey's baby shower!

Lynsdesy had such a fun baby shower- she got tons of fabulous stuff. I felt blessed to have helped host such a special day! My Aunt Cathy made an adorable diaper bag and had it monogrammed. The food was delious' and the company was warm! : )
