So we officially started working on our dream home!!!
I am beyond words. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time.
You know the feeling I'm talking about.
Like I can't wait to be in my big beautiful home I have been dreaming about for years, yet
I wanna throw up thinking about all that has to be done from here to then.

Jake got home from work. Said he had talked to Mr.Greg and he could come tomorrow and do our land if we had our house staked off. So we got out there in the dark with Jakes phone flashlight and set up our post where the corners of the house and porch would be. We got eaten alive with misquitos but we got it done.
Wed. Sept 21,2016
Mr.Greg( a nice man from church that Jake had already talked to )came out and started working around 9am on getting the land level and cleared out. We wanted to get some of the land where the trees had been knocked down cleaned up along with the leveling and dirt pad for the house. Of coarse I took pics like all day long. Nanna came by and visited us for a little while and that is always a blessing. Mom & Dad dropped by for a min to see some of the work.
It started to look so so different and so good. I was squealing on the inside and maybe a little on the outside too. Its really happening... Its really happening yall! That's all I could think about!

Mr.Greg was back bright at early , and when I saw bright and early I mean 8am cause lets face it. I am not a morning person and before 8 is early for me. lol
He worked all day long. He took one little break and kept working. He is such a nice, hardworking man. I would recommened him to anyone. And I truly believe God set him into our path. We met him one night at VBS and he came up and talked to us (we were the kinda new people) and then Jake and him started talking about what work they did, And when he told Jake he had done this type of work and had been doing it 30 years. We Knew we wanted him to do our work for us.
But back to this day. We made to like every other day. Doing our house work, school work, and playing. I of coarse took more pics, and Jake wanted an updated photo every couple hours cause he was at work. But the time Mr.Greg left at 4:30 , he had the dirt pad ready, and so much of the land cleared off. It looks so much bigger now and we know exactly where and how big our house is going to look. Looks amazing! He just did such a great job.
My parents and jakes parents had road by and checked out the work. And all thought that he did a great job.
I let the girls get in the slip n slide and Jake pulled up and said how good it looked too.
We need to pull something on it to move some of the little sticks and divits around so we can cut the grass but all in all it looks Great! We got a family pic infront of our "house" aka dirt pad and then went inside for dinner.
It is such a blessing that we are able to finally start our dream home. We have a tight budget but we will make it work!!!
We have already gotten 2 double windows for a GREAT Price(Lowes), A jacuzzi tub for our master bathroom (friend), 2 barstools (Goodwill), a living room rug (Lowes), and 2 pillows to match (America Thrift)! All on sale or for an awesome Price!
I am thrifty and I will try my best to make our budget work good for everything we need. And I know that God has us in his hands and My God will give us the desires of our Hearts!
God Bless,
Heather
