On Wednesday we finally got out of the condo. Even though the condominium was on the water there wasn’t an accessible beach. If we wanted to walk on the beach we’d have to get on a little boat that would take us across the bay. That wasn’t for us and we wanted to explore so…
When I started working from home Allison and I started trying to decide where we might want to live. By the way, when you can live anywhere you want finding a place to live is a very daunting task. Anyway, one of the things that we decided was that we’d travel to places with Mom…
We had a great time seeing Gibby, but the evening of Sunday Allison started feeling some pain in her back. I’m pretty sure that she knew what was coming since she’d felt it before, but she was in denial. She was in such pain all night that she couldn’t sleep. She was hurting so badly…
We went to Gibby’s house in Wadesboro the weekend before we were supposed to leave to meet Nana and Peepop in Florida for Thanksgiving week. We got to meet some of her friends … who are a real hoot. The table was lovely. She made way too much food. Everyone who was there probably could have…
The weather is really drawing things out. When we moved here, and while we were waiting for permits the area was in the middle of a mini-drought. The lake was getting pretty low … so low that they had to close a bunch of the boat launches. We even saw some boats that were at docks and…
After the foundation was complete the decking and subfloor went in. The footprint looks kind of small. I know that sound ridiculous considering the picture of Noah taken from one corner of the house to the other, but considering everything that needs to go in there it looks small. We’ve been assured that will change…
We like to try to get out of the apartment whenever possible. We’ve always loved fairs, so we thought we’d check out the South Carolina State Fair in Columbia. Allison’s mom came for a visit so we all jumped in the car and drove down there. It took a little over an hour and turned out…
Mid-way through September they finally got started on the foundation. We’re going to have a crawl space so they build the brick and block up directly from the footers. One of the final steps in the construction process will be to do a final level of the ground beneath the house and the installation of…
When we got back from Disney we had to go by the lot to see if any progress had been made. We knew when we left that we were close to getting the permits, but we weren’t sure if anything would be done or not. We were happy to see that we’d received the illusive…
We were still waiting for work to get started on the house again, but it was time to head to Disney World for the week of Labor Day. Allison and I both love Disney World. We both swear that we’d live there if we could and we’re hoping that the boys end up loving it…
