I haven’t written in awhile… much progress being made on my house.  I have a roof, siding, interior studs, plumbing, electrical and gas… the guys are working hard and fast, there everyday, and the progress is obvious. 

I got to pick my colors last week.  YEAH!!!! and the designer had me dead on, without knowing me, of what I wanted.  Plus more… I will have tile and granite and slate… the interior of my new house is going to be totally awesome.. more than I had hoped for.  the outside plain, which fits in my neighborhood and what I wanted, but the inside will be my oasis… my home.  I cannot wait.  Of course, with this joy comes a bit of fear… I got notice to move out of my present place before it will be completed… and I am not sure my insurance will cover the entire cost of rebuild… since the ins. co had hired a previous contractor, whom declined to rebuild as I wanted… so I had to hire my present contractor, who is a dream.  I am lucky to have him, and his crew… they are used to much, (MUCH) higher end homes and I really believe they are trying to give me quality on my white bread budget. 

So, I am looking at perhaps a month and a half until I get to “move home” and can’t wait.  I don’t feel right here, I don’t feel like I have a home, I only have a place to live.  But that, too, is a blessing in itself.. For all the terrible stuff I have had happen in the past several months, I am, AM truly blessed to have what I have… and I am not talking about “stuff”.  My family and friends have really helped get me through this whole past year.  Without them, I WOULD be lost.

Thank you all, you know who you are… I love you all.

Peace…
