House is Finished....Open House!

The house is FINISHED!!!! Praise the Lord! There are a few little things we need to do but very very minor. Well, the open was okay but not super great. Really, it was our fault. We put the open house on our local site and we had a sign in the yard BUT we did not get it in the paper in time. Unless someone shows up with a big fat check this week, we will have another open house next weekend and do better with the advertising. However, the doctor and his wife that I mentioned before came today to see the house. They brought our pastors wife with them and they are looking too. Just getting the word out is a good thing. We also have our house on a military site and on owners.com. So for those of you who have not visited us and wants to see our house…oops that would be everyone EXCEPT my Momma and my life long friend Cher! Ha! Joking! (Well, kinda joking.) Anyway, you can see it at owners.com/wtw3693. We are proud of the work we have done and it is sad to leave our sweat equity behind.

I tell you, I am SO enjoying our house being finished and clean! I moved from GA in Sept. 05, went back to GA until the wedding on Oct. 22. From them until Friday July 19, 2008 our house has been a wreck. Well, we finished the living room and our bed room for sanity sake but otherwise a mess. I am SOOOO excited and relieved. It is funny, for the last 2 days, every time we use a glass or a fork, or anything; Larry has been washing, drying and putting them away. Cool huh!? I was thinking, hey, this could work pretty well for me! Hahahaha! Today, he was getting crushed ice from the ice dispenser and some pieces fell into the tray underneath. He pulled the tray out, got a paper towel and was drying it off. He stopped, looked over at me and said, “I am drying off the freakin’ ice tray thing…I ‘m becoming you!” I told him that even I was not that bad. We had a big laugh!

It’s now Sunday evening and the weird thing is, we are not painting, cleaning, moving stuff, etc. Don’t get me wrong, we have a storage room full of stuff to go through but the feeling of looking around and not feeling guilty about spending 15 minutes on the Internet is a great feeling indeed.
I will chat with you later and keep you posted on the sell of the house. We are nervous but we have to trust that God has a plan and he has a family out there that will take this home that we have worked so hard in and love it like we do.
