May be days away

well, the carpet for the church was installed yesterday, and we did final painting, caulking, and touch ups yesterday..ben is finishing some cleanup and installing some filters in the vents, and final inspections for the space are scheduled for tomorrow. if all goes well, we'll be approved for occupancy this sunday! that will bring on a couple of VERY busy days as we get tv and sound board installed, pick up mics, ect and setup for our first sunday in the building. i'll update when i know we'll be in for sure, but its been an exciting week to see the final touches coming together :)!!!

on the home front, the boys and i went with the moms club i joined here in town to fort gordon today for a cookout and pony rides. dylan has REALLY taken a liking to horses, i love to see his excitement and bravery. i'm not sure if its him or if its just cause boys tend to be more brave with these types of things, but i love to see his excitement. i've never been on an army base before, it's like it's own city!!! it's pretty crazy. we had a really good time. he's still quite shy with the other kids, we joined for us both to be able to make some friends here, so far, i'm branching out more than he is, and to be honest, it makes me pretty nervous for school this fall...but i'm praying "practice makes perfect" with him warming up a bit easier.

a BIG PRAISE: we found renters for our house in MI...they are moving in this weekend. they are also allowing us to keep the house on the market while they rent, they've signed a year lease, but have agreed to move out if the house is sold. it'll cover 3/4 of our house payment, which is a big blessing! really praying God would sell it before August and Ben's salary is reduced by the district. August will be bringing a lot of change around here, but I have plenty of time to think on that, so right now, I'm just enjoying the time and schedule we have.

I'll keep everyone posted on tomorrows inspections!
