We just go word on our house. We expect foundation to go in some time in the up coming week and we are hoping to begin the build next weekend. Woo-Hoo! In aprox 10 weeks we will have our home. We just picked out our flooring and all the other colors. When I find my software I will be showing it all off.

    Almost heaven, west virginia
    Blue ridge mountains
    Shenandoah river -
    Life is old there
    Older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains
    Growin like a breeze

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    All my memories gathered round her
    Miners lady, stranger to blue water
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine
    Teardrops in my eye

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    I hear her voice
    In the mornin hour she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    And drivin down the road I get a feelin
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West virginia, mountain momma
    Take me home, country roads
    Take me home, now country roads
    Take me home, now country roads

      just purchased bathroom accessories. Lighthouse theme.
    2. timethief
        I'm so happy for you Shirley that I'm teary-eyed.
        Lighthouse theme sounds appropo for where I live. The symbolism of lighthouses is - guiding lights.
    3. Shiley
      I was so ready to start in Sept. I can't believe we were bumped up this soon! I just bought new towels, a shower curtain with light houses, A light house toilet brush thingie, trash can, life preserver, little steering wheel thing, and stuff to make a really awesome house cake for our dedication.
    4. timethief
        DANG! I wish I lived closer to you. I ♥ housing bees. There is so much goodwill at them and it extends into long term friendships.

        P.S. The lighthouse cake is a great idea -- guiding lights is a cool theme.
    5. Shiley
      Lol! I wish everybody lived closer too me.

        I wish everybody lived closer too me.

        SIGH ... "I know how you feel," said the lady living way out in the ocean on a tiny floating rock.
    7. Shiley
      That sounds fun too though. Trying to pack it all in a box. Not easy to do w/ kids spilling milk and stuff.
    1. Shiley
      Thanks!

    1. Shiley

  5. melindaville
    I'm so incredibly happy for you, Shirley. You SO deserve this! How wonderful.
    1. Shiley
      Thank you.
  6. Stillthinking
    Congrats! I know how much hard work you put into this and I am thrilled for you!
    1. Shiley
      I'm thrilled for me too.
  7. rainforestrobin
    TT and I think alike, we both said we wished we lived closer and could be part of the "house-raising" bee. I'd bring over all my tools...well, you know what I'm like. I'm like you. Happy if I get a drill or saw for my birthday. Heck, I'd take tools over make-up. LOL!! I am so happy for you. SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Haaaaappppppyyyyyyy!!!
    robin does a little dance on her desk just for you! :) LOL!
    1. Shiley
      It will be all good. Question to ponder: Why does this show up in my email after three hours? That's a huge chunk of the day.

    JUST GOT WORD WE ARE BUILDING OUR HOME ON SATURDAY! UNLESS IT RAINS THAT DAY.
    1. Deray28
      Yaaay, congratulations Shiley ;). Let's hope it doesn't rain and the construction goes smoothly. Will you post pictures of your new home?
    2. Shiley
      As soon as I find my software. I hope I didn't pack it. Maybe I can go to my brother's... He's a geek he has everything.
    3. ThriftShopRomantic
      Wow, it's just speeding along now! YAY!
    4. Shiley
      They have a new construction manager. Me, being nosey had to do some research on her she did building in FL and everything I have seen about her has been great. She has excellent reviews. Really on the ball too.

    What colours did you pick out? I am really chuffed for you...I remember when I got my own house, after ten years of being a renter, and it is an AMAZING feeling! You think you are excited now, just wait until they first hand you the keys!

      That has all the colors and stuff. Would have gotten back to you sooner but I had to pick up my son and there was a school thing.
