House Update



We did a video of the progress yesterday. I thought you might all be interested! It's coming along so quickly and we are very thankful for that. George Snead is amazing! If you're building in the area I highly recommend Snead Construction.

Very cool! Love it, especially the closets! Yu can never have closets that are too big lol!Can't wait to see it in person. When are you guys thinking you're going to move in??

love, loretta

Shocked and Saddened


Me, too!! :( I kept thinking all last night after I heard about this about the time we went to see A Knight's Tale TWICE(!!) at the $1 movie theatre when I was visiting you one weekend. And of course all the other movies I loved him in. He seemed so "real" and "unhollywood".

So, so sad. I can't imagine what it must be like to have to explain what happened to his two-year old daughter.

Heath Ledger was always my "crush." Because, as the previous poster said, he was so "unhollywood."

I adore Heath Ledger, I appreciate his work, and I am saddened by his death.

I pray that his daughter can someday know her father through his work. How tragic!

A call to pray....


I've never met Tricia but my heart is overflowing for her. She is a brand new mommy, as of today, with a mountain in front of her. Please read her story here or here and begin to pray for Tricia, her baby, and her family.

The Building Continues

As a friend recently put it, "sounds like you guys are staying busy". The holiday season was filled with parties and activities, all full of fun, but busy busy busy. Maybe one of these days I'll have the time to put up a picture post of our Christmas season. For now I'll just post a picture of the building process. It's coming along quickly and we're very thankful for that. The roof is mostly shingled and they will begin bricking this week. We love going over to see the progress being made. At this point we're picking out our bathroom vanities. Most decisions have been fairly easy. This one would probably be the same if John was not on the verge of pneumonia. For real. That was his diagnosis and he's been resting in bed for the last two days. Please pray that he gets through this and back to his high energy self soon!

It has finally begun...



The house is finally in the process of being built. I'll be posting updates for all of you to see. We're so excited! Things should be going quickly so check back for updates!

Woo-hoo!! We're so excited for you!

These pictures are great. I've gotten so used to seeing the black soil out here that it was nice to see the red clay dirt of my youth. :)

I hope we'll have a chance to see each other when we head back home for the holiday. :)

In Eight Short Months

We will be moving into our new house within the next eight months. The papers are signed and the building is to begin within days. Thank you so much to all of you that helped us with input toward this huge decision. We're so excited. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this process. I will be putting updates on the blog so that those of you far away will be able to see the progress.
The house will look much like the picture but no wrap around porch. I am amazed by the price of porches.

I just wrote you and said to make sure you posted things here so we could see about the new house and all and when I looked here, here this was! HA! It is beautiful and no I don't know the price of porches but maybe you can do a big wrap around porch later like add it on later if you still wanted one. I am just thrilled for you all. Congrats! Hopefully the next 8 months will go smoothly. Actually hopefully for both of us. :o)
Love ya!

SOOO SOOOO exciting!! Can't wait to hear all the details as the building progresses. It looks like you'll have plenty of room for visitors, too, even my big brood. (Although it helps that we all sleep in one bed at the moment...) :)

Oh, and you can always add a porch later if you want to, right? Maybe once the kids are all finished with college? ;)

Love you!

Filming SATC

I am so very jealous of my NYC friends right now. They have the opportunity to stop off and see the latest filming for the Sex and the City movie. It's rumored to be going on today at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. I'm not about to spill the beans here but if you want a huge spoiler go on over to US Weekly. You can also find out more about the filming today on Page Six. I am so excited about this movie! [pic]

I walked through some filming by the Bryant Park Hotel and some snotty little assistant shooed me away when I took a picture of the Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis chairs (what are those called that have your name on them?). So poop on her. But yay for the movie! Sadly, the girls were all inside the hotel.

Movies In The Making

After not being thrilled over the movies that have come out recently I am so excited to see what's in the process of being made. There are three movies in the making right now that are sure to be incredible!First, SATC is finally coming to the big screen! I am so excited about this movie. There are spoilers all over the internet about the storyline. Just seeing Big and Carrie together again is thrilling to me. [People]


Next, anything Jennifer Aniston is ok with me. He's Just Not That Into You looks like it's going to be a great one! I just love seeing Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston together (only on set!). [People]

Finally, I am thrilled over the fact that the book Confessions of A Shopaholic is going to be coming to the big screen. I love this series! I'm going to be counting down the days. Isla Fisher will be bringing Becky Bloomwood to life! [Popsugar]



not even a peep about the Britney Spears custody ruling today? :(

I check all the time just in case you've written something. Miss you!
