One More House Update

This may be the last house update for a few weeks. The wedding is 5 weeks from today and we've taken a break from house work to rest and enjoy this time. Here is one last picture of the front porch. You can see that the stones under the porch have been repaired and the boards are complete around the top of the stone. It's really beginning to feel like home.

Let the Wedding Festivities Begin

We've taken a break from working on the house for a little while. Daniel has actually moved in and has been living there for about 2 weeks now. He promises that there are no creepy noises or anything to worry about.

We have 39 days until we get married on October 9th and we have been busy busy celebrating with our wonderful families and friends. BLESSED is the only work to describe our lives. The Lord has truly blessed us with the most wonderful families and the best friends any two people could ask for. Lately we've been able to visit with them all on several different occasions. We've had Daniel's 10-year class reunion, a birthday party, a Fish Fry/Tool Shower, and a ladies tea in Beatrice. Here are a few pictures from some those events.

Daniel and I with a few of the Hostesses.

The First Week of August

Here are the weeks progress pictures. We've moved in a little more furniture as you can see and the bathroom floor is finished. Daddy and Daniel have begun putting up the lattice around the house and it looks GREAT!!

I just couldn't help myself, I had to put two chairs on the front porch.

No more shower doors!!

Furniture Is Moving In

Here is where it sits now:

In the living room

Daniel's painted door is displayed in the hallway.

The bedroom is a work in progress...the table isn't staying here, just holding a lamp for now.

I can see the light!!!!

We are sooo close, Daniel and Mr. Danny have begun moving furniture into the house. The porch has a floor, the whole house has been painted and the new bathroom floor should be finished next week. Here are some pictures of the progress:

Mrs. Ginger has been over to paint. I've never seen anyone paint trim as fast and well as she does.

The living room was Khaki...now it's light blue.

We painted over the lattice work and sky on the kitchen ceiling.

The front door must be Red

Everyone questioned me wanting to paint these doors black...It's growing on them, I hope.

Finally, They Rest...

These are my two most favorite men on the planet!!

They have worked so hard on the house and it's going to be wonderful because of them. They have laughed and had a great time together in the process. There will always be Superman and Geritol jokes to remind us all of the hours they spent working together. I am so thankful for them both and praise God for the blessings of them both.

What's going on these days???

The floors are level, the house is ready for the AC and Daniel and

Daddy couldn't be more trilled. I know they are soooo tired of being

underneath the house crawling and working over their heads. They

finished up today with the last few details. They installed water faucets on either end of the house and got a few electrical things ready.

Here are a few pictures

Daniel and his trusty assistant Shula 

This is Shula favorite place. She can watch the front yard and keep and eye on her Daddy.

Is it strange that I am sooo pumped about water faucets???
 

Everything is so green and beginning to bloom.

(excuse the headless statue...he lost his head, but it's there somewhere.)
