House Update!

PRAISE THE LORD!!! Does that give you any indication how the meeting went today! Well, God's hand was certainly at work today as one big-wig was there before the other big-wig. The first big-wig agreed to everything that Jeff wanted! The second big-wig, when he came late, was not happy with the first big-wig and they got into a big argument. But when it was all said and done, here is what we got.

Basically prayer option #1. They are going to totally clean out the backyard and pay for it all!!! They are going to finish it tomorrow or Wed.! So the building process can go on! Hopefully by next Friday the concrete guys can come back and finish pouring the basement!

I found this all out from our builder. Steve and Amy are the parents of "my" Mollie. When they came in for their teacher's conference tonight he gave me the good news. Jeff hadn't even had time to call me yet. We were giving each other hugs, we were all so happy. Amy said that she drove by the property today and prayed over it. I told Jeff when we were selecting a builder that we needed to support a Christian builder. Not only does he awesome work, but he is ethical and deeply concerned for our well-being.

Oh...ALSO...more good news!!! We got a second bid back on our lumber package: shingles, siding, frame, windows. It is 17K cheaper than the first bid!

Thanks for all your prayers. I'll let you know if we find another car in our backyard! Hey, does anybody need a car, you can have the first one! FREE!

Madison and Quinn were both deeply concerned about "Who gets to keep the car?!" ... and Quinn thinks you should some how try to recycle it. He is a rock-hugger right now with his school lessons about non-renewable goods etc.... Great news!!!

It is kind of humorous to read this, but I can only imagine how stressful today was on you both. Every time I read what is uncovered, I just keep hoping I won't read that there was a cemetary buried under there. That would be even worse than anything so far....
Thank goodness it has worked out so far. I will keep you in our prayers though.
