Our work in progress...

I'm back in Texas today after another long extended drive to/from Arkansas and Texas. Today really wasnt bad at all. Our little girl Charli is only one so what should be a six and a half hour trip instantly turns into a nine hour trip or more because of the breaks that must be taken so neither of us lose our minds in the car. Charli really was quite the little trooper today. Last time on our way to AR she was really cranky but today she hardly made a peep and slept most of the way. We stopped at a park in McAlester to play for an hour or so and stretch our legs and take pictures.

So as stated before we are moving to Arkansas, but what I had failed to mention is that we are moving into the house my husband grew up in. His parents built themselves a beautiful new home next door and had moved out a few years back. It was only a month ago or so that we made the decision for us to make the move to Arkansas and since then Brannon has already started a new job there and Charli and I have been going back and forth from Texas to Arkansas on weekends to help out with what all we need to get done before we can actually move in. In the last two weeks alone we have done alot of gutting to the house and getting it ready for some repairs here and there before we continue on with the laying the new floors and painting fresh paint on the walls. Below are some pictures of the place thus far. Below you can see the entry way, living room, dining area, kitchen, and master bedroom. In the pic of the kitchen you can see our lovely wood flooring that will be installed in the dining area, living room , entry way, and hallway to the bedrooms. I have also included a pic of the vinyl flooring we want to put in the kitchen. You can see in the pic of the master bedroom that we have knocked out the closet to turn it knot more of a walk-in knowing between the two of us that we'll need the space. I haven't gotten any pics of the outside yet but will soon because I absolutely have got to toot my own horn about the awesome job I did so far on the hedges out in front of the house.

Well that's all we've got for now everybody! Pray for us as much as you can, repeatedly!!! We'll be needing them to get this all done before next year! Love you all very much!
