One MUDDY MUDDY MESS!!!!

Thursday they decided to pour the concrete walls even though the ground around our house was really soft and muddy...... and today's rain isn't going to help the situation! Good thing the concrete walls need to sit there for a week... hopefully the rain will dry up and once our builder gets back from vacation in a week, it will be all good and dry, ready for him to start framing! =)

(our cul-de-sac got REALLY muddy! good thing we are the first people there!)

Waiting on Inspector!

They have the walls up to start pouring the concrete,
but we are waiting on the county to have an inspector come out and check it!
Darn it! And it's a nice day out too!

Last Week's Progress

These are photos of what was happening last week...
hopefully this week we will have wall poured and ready to be framed!

1 Year of Wedded-Blessings

Today is our
1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
I can't believe that one year ago today,
I married my very best friend. He is the most amazing man...
the man that was truly meant for me in every possible way.
I love you honey and I am excited for the many
more years that God blesses us with together!
MUAH!
