7/3/08 12:30pm The ink is dry and we now own the new property where we will build our 2nd house from scratch.
This is what our new building site looks like. Right now you are thinking, "All I see are trees!!?"
You are exactly right.....lots of trees!!
7/3/08 @ 5:30pm Victor begins the clearing.
Two hours later....he is making some progress!
Look at this pile! Stay tuned!!!!
A friend remarked to me yesterday that God has been blessing my family alot lately. My first reaction was to wander if that meant .......I was due for something bad to happen (what can I say I have some Irish in me...not named Colleen for nothin'.) Then I stopped and thought about it some more I had worried so much about getting our house ready to sell, selling it, finding new property, find a place to live in the interim, and on and on and on.....just ask my husband. God took care of everything and for once he even did on my timeline. A close friend came and gave me staging advice the day I asked. Our house sold after being on the market for only four days. Victor got a new job, that he loves, which pays well and has decent insurance. The rent house we lived in before is becoming available, just in time. We found a terrific piece of property in the neighborhood we wanted, and the school district we wanted at the best price we had seen in a long time!! And all this time my family has been healthy and provided for!!
I ashamed to say that all of this was going on all around me and I haven't been nearly excited or thankful enough!
Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for the myriad of ways that you continue to bless us. Thank you for sticking with me when I move from worrying about one thing to the next w/o looking up. Forgive me
Amen

Congrats....I know it is a huge relief to have a temporary residence and know where you'll be in the future!!
We are so excited for you. What a year of blessing!
Yea! God is good all the time! I am so happy all the pieces are falling into place for you. Building a new house must be sooooo exciting. All the options and decisions would probably give me a heart attack. I can't wait to watch your progress!
I have to admit- when I first saw the property in person I thought "Wow, that's a lot of trees." So I can honestly say that you guys HAVE made a lot of progress! I can see ground now! =)
I bet my brother had fun taking out those trees. I am so happy that things are going well for you guys. You all deserve the best! Give my love to the boys!
