We did it!

I should know better than to promise blog posts ahead of time. I had them planned out for Wed, Thurs and tonight. Wednesday, I just ran out of time and last night we had an awful internet connection.  So for the grandparents that would love a Harper and Hollin update, they are coming!!

Ok, on to the most exciting news we've had at Casa Cushing in a long time!  You may remember, back in January 2012, we bought this house and had big plans build a home on our lot for my parents. Read about that here.

After over a year of bad news, set-backs, restrictions and re-drawing the plans (probably 10 times at least), I am happy to announce that..

WE CLOSED TODAY!!

The construction part of the loan has closed, so we will begin the process of building their home next week!!!

I can't begin to tell you how difficult it was to get to this day, but that really doesn't matter. There were times when we truly thought it wasn't going to happen and just wasn't meant to be.  We all became very good and lifting up whoever was doubting this process, but we made it through and I am so excited for my mom and dad.  

We are so excited to finally get started with construction.  I am not too thrilled about the noise and mess that will come with it (have I ever mentioned that my dog barks at everything and Hollin is a light sleeper?) 

The terms of the loan are for 6 months, but we feel pretty sure that will not be a problem. I am hoping that everything will be settled and looking somewhat normal by September.  September will be a big month for us because our family from Britain are coming to visit!! More on that later :)

Thank you Lord for yet another blessing!!
