Ground Breaking

 Amid all the crazy that was Saturday, Chad dug the foundation for our new home!

I made it just in time to photograph the ground breaking!
You guessed it...
our little digger had to be a part of this project!

He loves to ride in the backhoe with Chad.
He always has his hands on the sticks along with his Daddy!
It never takes long before he has the task "figured out,"
 and he is trying to run the machine by himself.

Our footings and foundation are scheduled to be poured this week!  So construction has begun for real!

Our home is once again sold... hopefully!  The home inspection takes place on Thursday. 

We are set to close on June 29. 

And the plan is to NOT have a plan... yet!  (Which is totally NOT in my COMFORT ZONE!)  The amount of building that occurs this month will have a lot to say about when the home is complete.  While I would love to tell you all to pray for beautiful construction weather (no rain, and little wind), that would be unfair to the farmers and ranchers who really need rain.  So, instead I trust that God has a plan much bigger and better than my plan.  In His time we will be settled in our new home.  A couple of weeks or a couple of months in a camper really will not make much difference in the end (maybe in the moment, but not in the end).

Remind me of that, if need be, in July and August. . . Okay?
