Week of inspections & decisions

As most of my friends know, I am not good with waiting. It has been a rough road and I am beginning to see that it will be ending this fall( at least we will be living in the house this fall). At the house it seems little was done, but I know that the inspections and paper book is a necessary delay in building a house. As of right now, if my choices don't get vetoed, are the colors of the tile, and the areas that will be used in. The "rusty sand" tile will be used in both bathroom. The light sand tile will be used in the entry ways for both doors. Finally, the lightest one with the grey "dirty" streaks is for the kitchen and dining room. So now we wait till it is time to install, my friend is willing to do the installation free. :-) 
What a huge blessing!!

I was contacted on Thursday and told that I would need a lawyer for the closing of the house. Feels good to have a lawyer and also that the closing is close enough that I need one. :-) 

Stopping by the house today, we discovered that the living room is full of insulation. R-13 and R-38 ment nothing to me before today, but I now know this is what will insulate the entire house. I have been told that this will be a project for this Saturday, along with the cleanup of the four trees that were taken down two weeks ago. Please let me know if you are able to help us out at all tomorrow morning 9-12pm. Thanks.

As for as the fundraisers are going for the appliance fund there is several ways to help out if you want. There is a couple ways- Thirty-One bags and Mary Kay products. 


Thirty-One bags you have a chance to win a $200 shopping spree- the squares are $5 each.  There is only 25 squares left. When all numbers are sold, the consultant will randomly draw a number/ winner. The numbers that are currently left are 16,36,38,41,
51,53,56,58,60,61,71,72,74,76,82,83,86,87,90,91,92,94,95,97,& 98

Mary Kay Fundraiser has been set up on facebook as an event. You can access that at Mary Kay Fundraiser .


Lately I have been really listening to lots of music... this is one song that keeps coming up daily, and it fits my life. God has been using music to help me through this week.

    This Is The Stuff

    I lost my keys 
    In the great unknown 
    And call me please 
    'Cause I can't find my phone 

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy. 
    This is the stuff that's getting to me lately. 
    In the middle of my little mess 
    I forget how big I'm blessed 

    This is the stuff that gets under my skin 
    But I've got to trust You know exactly what You're doing 
    Might not be what I might choose 
    But this is the stuff you use 

    45 in a 35 
    Sirens and fines 
    While I'm running behind 

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy 
    This is the stuff that's getting to me lately 
    In the middle of my little mess 
    I forget how big I'm blessed 

    This is the stuff that gets under my skin 
    But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing 
    Might not be what I might choose but this is the stuff You use 

    So break me of impatience 
    Conquer my frustrations 
    I've got a new appreciation 
    It's not the end of the world 

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy. 
    This is the stuff 
    Someone save me 
    In the middle of little my mess 
    I forget how big I'm blessed 

    This is the stuff that gets under my skin 
    And I've gotta trust you know exactly what You're doing 
    Might not be what I would choose but this is the stuff You use 

    This is the stuff You use
