Moving madness!

Greetings. Is it seriously already July? Is it just me or does time move faster as the years go by? For instance, I remember when I was around 10, Christmas would take 48 years to get here. Now, sheesh, I blinked and it is just around the corner. Not complaining, I love Christmastime. 2 months ago I created a countdown on my APP. (serious business) currently it reads..... 71 days until Fall, 136 until Thanksgiving, 137 until Black Friday (Although I think I am shopping via my PJ's at home this year) 164 days until Christmas. Not that I am counting or anything. Do you guys start shopping early?

In other news, we SOLD our Mobile Home! Just as I had hoped and prayed, the buyers are awesome. I know they will love the home just as we had and they will make many memories in it.

I'm going to not to get all sappy here, but the way I feel is sappy so, here goes. Its totally a God thing. Adam and I had been discussing different options for a while now. This is something we have prayed about for a good while now. We decided to take a leap of faith, and just go for what we wanted. TO BUILD A HOUSE! (were adding on the the existing shop, and building a small shophouse)

Sure there have been a few hiccups, sleepless nights. Adam and I havent had have had a few spats! (everyone says its perfectly normal) Building a house is no walk in the park. Some days I just want to pull my hair out, and throw in the towel. We had no clue what we were getting into. Really, I mean it doesnt come with instructions, plus we are doing alot of the work ourselves.

Everything has worked out so far and Ive learned to roll with the punches, as it will work out and in the long run it will be such a blessing. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband who puts aside his needs and wants to provide for our family. I am so glad he is a jack of all trades. He has completed everything from plumbing to wiring hisself. He gained so much wisdom from his Dad, Roy. Thankful for his wisdom as well.


Some of you who close with me, or friends on Facebook, may have seen I was struggling with my OCD. The fact is our lives are TURNED upside, down, right now....you know what..this has been so good for me. Everything has went back to the basics, everythings packed up so not much to clean...I have actually relaxed. Maybe not with my hands, but with my mind! I am still working on the new house and such...but that nagging, "always have to be doing,cleaning etc..." has improved. I am seriously going to be sticking with the less is more motto with the new house!

Here are some progress pictures.

Please be praying for my family! I will do my best to keep the blog updated!
