We Are Back Home!!!

We are back in our home and I have to say everything looks absoulutly beautiful!! The time went by so quickly. Our Contractor was amazing, he would work with his crew from 7 in the morning until around 8 at night. There were two days they were here until 1 and 2 in the morning!!! He promised that they would have us back in by the weekend, and I thought he was crazy! If any one around the Memphis area that needs work done around there home let me know Adam and I highly recommend him.

Now that John is done with the inside we have decided to let him work on some things for us on the outside! I have to say it has been very nice having this project to keep me busy. It has been 2 weeks today since we took our fingerprints and the time as flown by! I am hoping to have the I-171H in hand very soon! I find my self running to the mail box every day. I want so badly to be on the waiting list. We are so excited about going though this wonderful process. The wait I know will be difficult, but when it is all said and done and we are holding Jack in our arms I know all will be forgotten!

Reliving A Nightmare!!!

When you see a waterfall you think of beauty. Well when it is in your house and running down your walls it is not so beautiful. For those of you that do not know our home last year on April Fools day flooded. We had to move out and live with my dad and step-mom for 5 months. We had a great time while staying with them but we were glad to be back in our home! We moved back in and then within 3 months decided to move. When we finally got settled in we had my moms B-Day party. That night we received a call from my mom that their home was on fire!! Everyone was able to get out with out injury. So we have been living with them now for about 10 months. Their home will be completed in about 3 weeks! So what happens? On Wednesday I woke up too water damage from the air conditioner in the attic, it had a clogged drain pipe. This means I had to have a pod delivered to our home so we can store some of the furniture in there and our sun porch. All four bedrooms up and our family room will have to be emptied. It is almost as bad as moving. What a nightmare!!!

On the other hand you can think of this as a blessing. We had already planed on in the spring putting in hardwood floors, painting the baby's room, and smoothing out our ceilings. Now all of it is being done and my insurance will be paying for it ! So I guess we should be thinking our lucky stars. It will only take a week and it will be well worth the inconvenience! I have to say this is our third thing that has gone really wrong in the past year and half. So, is this the end of it? I am ready to have our lives back to normal. If there is such a thing.

These things we are having done this week are my projects I was going to take on while waiting for Jack! I am sure though I will be able to find many more projects to do around the house to keep me busy until we bring him home.
