Red Thread To China 2007

Isn't this great!!!!! The framers were there today and they have put in the stairs in, the porch roof and started on the wood on the top floor. I can't believe that this is finally coming together after waiting so long for it. I am so excited beyond belief. It is amazing how fast they can actually build a house. The framers should be done by friday and the roofers will be out soon after that. I have been worried that we wouldn't have the house done by this summer. But it looks good now. Stay tuned for more pictures.

This is a picture of the new house, this is a view of the livingroom on the first floor. I will have more later when the rain stops. So far they have the downstairs ans upstairs framed and the roof rafters on. Wow have we had some weird weather here in Texas this year. I just wish the rain would go away for just a few short weeks so that our house could at least get dried in. That would be wonderful.

Sunday was our 11 month LID date. This has been an incredibly long 11 months, and I hope at some point it speeds up. I can't wait to start decorating Mylie's room in the new house. I have an idea in my head but I am not sure how it will look when finished. I want her room to be perfect. I have so many hopes and dreams for her. I can't wait for her to be placed in my arms for the first time, I just know it will be one of the most precious days of my life. No matter what happens on that day, no matter how long it takes to get here, I will be ready.

This is Elvis, our Yorkie. He didn't know what to think of the snow we got here in Texas yesterday. It took me 3 hours to drive 42 miles home yesterday. It was a nightmare!!! Cars and trucks all over in the ditches, across the roads. I saw 4 wrecks on my road alone. One of the downfalls of living way out in the boonies!!! We got 9 inches at my house. They let the school out and sent the kids home. Marcus drives a mustang and I was worried about him. Jerry and my other son Kyle went looking for him because he should have been home before me. The school is only 9 miles from the house. I used to have a 99 mustang so I know they don't do well in the snow and ice. Rear wheel drive. I have a 4X4 Jeep Cherokee and was still having lots of problems sliding around. So now I am panicking because I have my 3 guys out there and cannot reach Marcus on his cell phone. About 30 minutes later he calls me from my MIL house which is on the same driveway at the front of our property. Thank God he is alright but he can't get his car up the driveway, he is stuck in the middle of the entrance. I called Jerry, Kyle and my MIL to tell them he was alright and they started home. When they got here Kyle and Jerry both got stuck and we had to winch them out and pull them up to my MIL house so they could get out. My daughter all this time is at work and they will not let her leave. The roads in Weatherford seem to have been alot better than out here so she was ok. I got up this morning to go to work and couldn't even get out of our driveway. So I said forget it, it's so not worth getting into a wreck. The snow is supposed to be gone today and hopefully it will dry out so they can continue on the house. Take care.
