Rainy day? No Way!

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
If you don’t, I don’t care
I just got some AWESOME news!!!

It may be raining outside but I’m walkin’ on sunshine!

Scott called and said that he picked up the building permit, and the bank called and said everything is done! We have a green light to start digging! OH. MY. GOODNESS. The dream is real people. Scott called the excavator and he said he would break ground Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Somebody pinch me! I think Scott and I have dreamed and planned, and dreamed and planned and been disappointed, and dreamed and planned this house for so long that neither one of us we’re willing to believe it was really finally happening.

It makes me want to throw myself down and pray and cry and sing praises to God for what He’s done for us. God has done so much for us! This has been a long journey, but when 2009 rolled around it was immediately evident that His hand was in this.
We are so blessed. Let me say that again…we are soooo blessed. We have found so many good deals. So many doors have been opened. So many things have fallen into place. That is such a big deal. Scott’s talents are allowing us to build this house for literally half what someone else would. This house is going to be exactly what we want. I can’t think of one thing we are compromising on. Scott and I will be 37 and 35 years old; the kids will be 12, 10, and 7 years old when this house is done. It will be a place our kids can grow and bring their families home to someday.

We are so blessed. Thank you God for the many things you have done for my family. Thank you for the big picture. Thank you for sunshine in the middle of a rainy day!
