Oh, Happy Day!
Mark has finished our plans and we are ready to get started building the house!
John is having them printed this morning and I'll be taking them to the bank this afternoon. I am so excited, I could scream. We've been waiting for this day for a long time.
If you want to see the plans, here is the link:

Hopefully I can start putting up pictures of the progress so that you can share in our excitement and see our house going up.
We just got back from a week of travel. We went to the conference in Hot Springs with Mom and Dad. The boys had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa.
We left there on Wednesday and spent some time in Gulf Shores at the beach. Caleb got to do some body boarding and Judah got to play in the sand. We all had a great time.
Our land was cleared today. John, our builder, had the crew come out this morning and rip out the trees and grade it. It's very exciting to see progress being made. It feels like such a long time coming, but there's a lot left to do.
The door to the garage will be right about where the grass ends in the foreground of the first picture. The house will stretch almost back to where the trees are behind the people.
The second two pictures are a great action sequence of a pine coming down.
I hope to be able to report on more progress very soon.
The choir was invited to sing at the Georgia campmeeting. That's how we spent our 4th of July. It's a 90 mile drive. Judah fell asleep on the way up there and we got this wonderful picture. Isn't he cute with his upside down "blasses"!
Last night was our 11th anniversary. It doesn't seem like that long...
So we pawned the kids off on Leah and Larry and went shopping. I got this fab new shirt and Mel got this great new dress. Then I made a great gourmet dinner. Very nice night.
