Diggin' Deep

We have had several disappointing conversations/situations with the house as of late. Brent and learning more and more that thi whole process is not on our time, but that God is in control and we need to honor and respect that. I also have decided that I am going to be posting comments in past tense. As my dad says "you gotta dig deep" to get through this so that is what will do. We have been told things and I have passed them onto everyone and unfortunatly our trust with Quadrant has been broken some...so now to not continue to get disappointed I will share only what I know for sure, not what we are hoping for or what is being told. So here is what I know....

After much confusion and a long waiting game, our permits are in and our site has been released to begin building/foundation. They have layed the footing for the foundation to be poured. We will meet with the superintendent once 2 layers of foundation have dried and our number gets pulled. The clock will start after we meet with the superintendent. That's what we know as of now. When that stuff will all take place, we don't know... it could take as long as a month.

We are continuing to lean on each other for support and of course turn to God and we are learning how to have difficult conversations with people and learn to clearly communicate our emotions (especially that of disappointment) with people! Both of which are bad things to be able to do!

I guess the other thing we know is that our house will be done in time for our nephew from FL to come for an extended visit next summer as well has being done for my good friend from England to come as well next summer!!! Both are very exciting!!!!

Looking good

I just got an email from our sales manager that said everything is still looking good for permits to be done and ready by Monday June 15th. If so they will be able to lay foundation and we can meet with our Superintendent and hopefully that will all be done by this time next week!!!! So we could maybe start the clock counting for Monday June 22nd!!! That would be us to a close date of Mid-early Sept. We had hoped for a close before I went back to school but if this all plays out the way we are hoping we would have only missed our timeline by 3 weeks or so, which from what I hear from a lot of people that that is pretty good, considering we are building! Stay tuned cuz once the clock starts there should be a lot of pictures. Keep praying though, cuz we are really in need of some good house news so hopefully we'll get some soon!
