So Far, So Good...

Okay, so I have been totally nervous about the stone that we picked out last September. I kept thinking that it was more PINK than BROWN for some reason. I will not go into any details, but let's just say that I was having nightmares about having a PINK brick home. Billy was confident that we were okay on colors that we choose but I was quite nervous. The brick was dropped to the house on the day we left for San Angelo, so there was no way to tell what the color was yet. My mom was with the kids due to school so she drove by everyday & took a picture with my camera & her cell phone. For the first week, we were looking at our brick/rock combo on a screen of a Razr Phone so that was tough. We decided to get Vanilla & bring her out to San Angelo rather than leave her alone at home during Spring Break. I was able to go back to Rockwall & get photos to bring back to Billy. The brick & stone look great. Hopefully the outhouse will be moved when the home is done. :) We are so excited. Our home will be finished toward the end of April so we hope to be moved in by the end of May. I will keep you posted!

Calling for Prayers...

We received some sad news last Thursday evening. For some of you, you may not know the whole story. Here is a brief summary:

Jean (Billy's mom) was diagnosed with lung cancer in mid-January while admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. There was a stint put in to help her breathe while she recovered from the pneumonia & then the plan was to attack with radiation treatments.
Earlier this week, Jean was readmitted to the hospital because the pneumonia was back. Apparently, she had not recovered from it before the radiation treatments. Along with adjusting other meds, it has become quite draining on her body. On Thursday, her kidneys started failing & she was told that the cancer was spreading too rapidly. She was given 2 weeks at the most. She decided she had enough. We brought her home on Friday night with Hospice.

We are in the process of getting all her affairs in order & enjoying what time we have with her. She spends most of the day sleeping. Please pray for our family as we go through this tough but natural process. It is hard at times to believe it but everyday it becomes more real. Please pray for the strength to know what to do & when to do it. I will keep you posted as much as I can.

So, walls are nice!

The house is slowly coming together. We did our walk thru last week of where we wanted the phone, TV & internet outlets. The brick was being dropped Friday so this next week we shall see what the outside will look like. I am a bit nervous about what we picked out but hopefully the brick & stone will look as good as it did on the table when we picked in 4 months ago.

A might bit chilly...

At least there is walls. Okay, so I know that these are not the finished walls but the house seems to be taking shape. The bricks will be coming in later this week so hopefully the outside of the house will be looking pretty good in a week or 2.

More Showings.....

Okay, so we have had 5 showings in the last week so please keep prayin! 2 of the showings claim that our home is their top choice but neither has made an offer. All we need is to accept an offer & the relocation company takes over from there. Hopefully someone will make an offer soon!
