At 4 PM today we finally got the OK from the county to have our coveted Occupancy Certificate in hand stating that we could finally move into our newly constructed home. This was the date our builder told us to plan on about four weeks ago. Of course, anything could have happened to postpone the date, but he jumped through many hoops to get it approved today, bless him! So first thing Saturday morning, we will be taking our short U-Haul move across town for the last time! Our driveway was/is ice and snow free so our PODS units were delivered without a hitch! Just last week we had quite a bit of snow accumulated that just finished melting within the past few days. Next week hopefully I can be back with an official home tour. Thanks for all the support, encouragement, and prayers for a successful move.

Stop laughing at me Miss "Dawg" and don't you be gobbling up all of the black jelly beans either...I just want to wish little Gift a very Happy Birthday!!
I think Miss Patty would be singing the Birthday Song to Nathan too but her nose is a little out of joint because the promised guest room has become a dream of the past!!
Mrs. Mac...Have YOU ever tried to sing when you had a cold and your nose was all stuffed up?...Well that is the same feeling you get when your nose is all bent out of shape!
Poor Miss Patty
