I think I can! I think I can!

The past week has been like a scene out of the book "The Little Engine That Could". Since the foundation was finally laid, things have been moving very quickly. So, it's been a "good" week. No bad or ugly right now. The only bad/crazy part of this week has been Luke standing in the middle of the grocery store, pulling his pants down, and singing, "Look at my booty! Look at my booty!" Yep, he sure did do that.

The framers came out Thursday around noon and started building the walls. By Friday, they had most of the rooms framed in and began to put plywood around the frame.We actually have a structure there now. As we were walking around yesterday, we started getting excited because, now, we can actually picture where things are going to be. It feels a little crazy that this is actually becoming a reality. There have been several bumps in the road that felt like we weren't going to be able to get over, but again, that mentality of "I think I can" had to come into play. It will be interesting to watch them add the second floor!

Today, Travis is taking me to look at a few houses that our builder has done on Lake Jacksonville. He wants me to see some of the things that they have put on the outside of their homes. I think it will be fun, but I'm going to be honest, I have my mind set on certain things, so hopefully, I can be a little open minded on some of the ideas. We also had our minds set on our master bathroom, and then, I found another piece of granite that I liked better, so I meet with the interior designer this coming Friday to change some things up a little. So my mind can change, but we will see. :)

God has been so good to us, even through the craziness, He always shines through!!!
