Little behind time!

Sorry for the delay in posting new pictures of the house. Alot has occurred since the last post. The roof is on, half of it actually has shingles, the driveway has been poured, all the duct worked is in, all the electrical wires have been run and boxes set. Next thing should be bricking and vinal siding! Here's the latest picture! Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.

The house has been framed, and we are praying for no rain the next couple of weeks. Looks like things are starting to move along rather nicely. We have been looking at color samples, trying to pick out countertops and cabinets for the kitchen, and trying to decide how we would like the bathrooms to look. Oh yeah, and before anything else needs to be selected we have to select the brick and vinal siding we want to use!!! So many decisions but so much fun!

Fun Finds!

We now have plumbing and a slab. This building thing is alot of fun. . . in the process of looking at siding and materials for our fence, we discovered some really fun finds. . one of which made it home with up. Couldn't have found a better deal than a box of mosaic tiles for a grand total of $3.90. Think I might use it as a backsplash in my kitchen! Enjoy the pictures!

Creekwood Estate

Ok, so 2 posts in one day! YEAH! The house was officially started today. Ground was broken. Framework laid, dirt work done, and plumbing to be put in tomorrow, Wednesday. Here are some pictures to follow the progression of the house!

Long Time. . . No Post

By looking at the date of the last entry, it has almost been a year since I last posted anything. Guess I might need too. Since November of 2006, Craig and I have had our first wedding anniversary, added two new additions to our family, and are getting ready to break ground on our very own first house!

Bella is our first child. She is a golden retriever and was born March 8, 2006. Some of Bella's favorite things are crawling up in her daddy's lap and having her belly scratched. She also loves to eat ice cubes and grapes. Bella knows how to play fetch and really enjoys eating bones and rawhides! Bella's little sister Abby is a britteny spanial. Abby was born April 2006. Being the baby, Abby is always seeking attention and does everything she can to push her sister out of the way when mommy and daddy get home! Abby also likes ice cubes and grapes and managed to take Bella's bones and rawhides away and eat them as well as her own. She is a hyper dog and pretty small for her size. But don't let her size fool you, because her bark is big! Both girls love to take walks and they are both looking forward to moving into their new house at the beginning of the year. This means they will have their very own backyard with lots of room to play!

That's a little about our girls. Craig is still with Bodie's Furniture in Ruston, LA. He has recently returned from High Point, North Carolina where he and Bodie bought this years furniture. They got alot of really pretty things! If your in the market, stop. And if you want to browse through the internet world check out http://www.bodiesfurniture.com/. Thanks to Josh Vaughn out of Montgomery, AL Bodie's Furniture launched it's very first website September 2007. As for Bethany, I have been keeping my hygiene skills up to par while working part-time with Peach Tree Dental practice in Ruston. Along with that I randomly do temp work for other area dentists and of course spend lots of time working with the Children's Ministry at Cook Baptist. We have been teaching a 6th Grade Connect Group for a little over a year! Through this the Lord has blessed us with an amazing asortment of youngens' we like to call our own. He has also been molding us into becoming parents of our own! Starting a family is something we look to be our goal for 2008.
