Baby Steps

Well it seems the Rob FINALLY made some headway with the building department. Hoping and praying that by the time he is up there monday he can have it all squared away. Unfortantely we will still need to find a temporary rental. Hoping that he is able to secure that monday too, so that when we come with the big moving truck we won't have to move the stuff twice. I am looking forward to my bff coming with her girls tomorrow. We are off to the beach with the kids, which is exciting!!! Haven't been yet this summer and would like to get a trip or two in before the move.

Well that is our update for now.... Off to get some rest!

Ok, so I have been slacking...So much going on. LOTS of packing and many moving trips for Rob's garage/business/outside stuff/kids playset. We are so tired and haven't even yet begun. LOL! We have had a lot of set backs with the new property. We did safely get the modular on the property after meeting some neighbors and the local sheriff (ended up being ok). But now the County is giving us problems with the final permiting so we can move forward with power, the new plumbing, a/c, reconfiguring it and doing the interior work. We have figured out that we will need to rent a place. We thought we had the perfect set up just up the road but its not going to work out due to the fact that its a 2 bedroom and the realtor can't rent it to us because I have 2 boys and a girl and they need seperate rooms. Have you ever heard of such a thing??? So Rob stopped and got numbers today on the way out of town and I have made some calls. Also going to speak to a realtor tomorrow some more. We shall see how this all comes together. Also found out last night that the closing has been moved from 7/14 to 7/23, which is a blessing. More time to pack and spend with our friends... YAH!!!! So that is my update for now...

~*~ Happy 4th of July! ~*~

While we weren't in our normal place, Alabama we had a nice time bbq and swimming with friends. We came home and in the mist of packing shot off some fireworks in the rain.

Girls Night Out!!!

OMG!! My girls definately gave me a send off! It was so great going to all the bars/clubs we went to. We made it fun where ever we were. They even got me the non drinker to take a few shots!! I sure am going to miss my girls, hope we can stay true to our promises to stay in touch and visit each other. Here are some of the photos.

Tomorrow we are going up to the property...

I am getting ready to start packing. We are leaving with another load of Rob's garage stuff tommorrow. We are hoping that the Health Inspector can find the property this time and do the testing while we are up there (so we can guide him in), that will help get us along further in the permitting process. Hoping to go swimming in the springs in the afternoon and clean up there. Then take Ethan for dinner somewhere up there for his birthday (its Tuesday). Then tuesday we'll get to see our new home be delivered to the property and watch it get set into place. I am sure I will have pictures and video to show when I get back. Very exciting. We also have a few other folks lined up to get things moving on the modular so its a home and closer to the final inspection. Lots still to do... a/c, water heater, walls up, bathrooms modified, kitchen installed (small kichenette for now), some electrical redirecting for switches and possibly more plugs, electric run from pole to the modular, septic, well... Hmmmh thats all I can think of for now.

Things are moving along up north. Rob got a call from the guy clearing and he needs another day to finish the job... More money, just hoping we can cover it all in the end. We are still pending the county to approve the floor plan. Crossing my fingers. Also we have a hiccup with the closing the second mortgage is playing hardball. The realtor is working a different angel and Rob has to call the second tonight. OY!!!
