Red Thread To China 2007

Wow, this is awesome. I have internet again after 3 weeks. For those of you who don't know we sold our house and are living in our travel trailer until our house is built. It is quite the experience let me tell you. We should have things ready to start on the foundation before the end of the month.... everyone keep your fingers crossed. the builder has the plans now and should have all the bids by the end of next week, so we can go to the bank. We hope to be in the house in 6 to 8 months. This is our goal because unfortunately Jerry will be headed to Iraq again next year, probably in September 08. So he will be gone for another year. Anyway I will post a picture of the house in the near future for eveyone to see. I am excited and scared at the same time. In the mean time I have been keeping very busy with trying to establish a small yard for all my plants and starting on my 100 good wishes quilt for Mylie/Levi. Will post more later.

WOW!!!! Has it been awhile since I posted. Well the internet was down because we moved it and the satellite had to be re-positioned. They are coming out today to set up the new pole and get it going......keep your fingers crossed. I can only get on certain sites at work and this is the first time I could access blogger. They might restrict it after this......... Anyway where we moved the travel trailer that we are living in temporarily until our house is built there are so many trees that the satellite can't get over the tops of the trees, so we are going to have to mount it quite a ways away. So that means we have to dig a ditch across our make shift yard across the gravel drive to the other side of the field to mount the satellite on a telescoping pole so that we can get reception. No offense to anyone but I sure do feel like I could be one of those rednecks that Jeff Foxworthy always talks about. You might be a redneck if......you live in a travel trailer with a dirt yard, a shed for a closet and your internet cable running across your yard!!!!!!!
Man I hope we can start on the house soon. We are working on the dirt part of the yard this weekend, hopefully laying some sod.

The part of property that we are building on has never been cleared or anything, so we have alot to do to get grass established and brush clearing. But it is coming along. I have been meaning to post some pics, but haven't had the time or internet to do so yet. I will work on that soon.

Everyone have a great weekend!!!!!!!
