Autumn and I both had to work on Memorial Day and for me it was extremely quiet so I was able to get lots done on our current orders build for the new Village Hospital. And even with that I was able to take out a few minutes to remember those who have given their lives so we in the USA can enjoy being free. I think we often take our freedoms for granted because it's what we've known all of our lives. A great big thanks to all of those men and women who are currently in the Armed Forces and working to maintain our freedom!! We are so blessed!!
We had a great weekend, though it went by way too quickly. If you read Autumn's blog you know about our trip to Aiken to pick up my cousin (Pam -she's in town while her Mom, Grace, is having a biventricular defibrillator implanted - the procedure was done earlier today and Grace is doing great!! They're keeping Grace overnight in the hospital and then she has to keep her left arm immobile for the next 3 weeks as the surgical site heals) who was there for the wedding celebration of a good friend. The final event of the wedding was attending a Polo match so Autumn, Alexa and I got to go along! What fun....go on over to Autumn's blog for some pictures if you haven't already seen them.
Below are some pics of progress on the house. Jimbo says they'll start putting wood down later this week, most likely on Thursday. I'm getting excited at the thought of seeing the house go up over the next few weeks. All of these years of being a builder's wife it's always been exciting to see his projects come to life and completion but this project will be accompanied by lots more excitement as well as lots of responsibility for picking out finishes and making decisions. I hope to get to help some on the construction, too. We'll see how that goes!

Our bedroom is on the left end of the house - we'll have seperate walk in closets, a garden tub and our washer/dryer will be right in the bathroom - won't that be convenient. We'll have a screened in porch right off of our bedroom, too.
Alexa enjoys hanging out down at the house site - she spent about an hour playing in the dirt on Saturday. She's already telling "Pop" she's excited about "our" new house.
