We’re Building a House: Update #2

May 24, 2017

We (well they) are making great progress on our new home and we couldn’t be more excited! While it does seem like it’s taking forever because we’re so anxious, time really is flying by and it almost feels like we just got started. Since my last post a lot has happened. I’ve been showing sneak peeks on my FB page, but I decided to save the ins and outs and more detailed information for my blog readers.

Foundation

Once we saw the foundation I think that’s when reality set in, especially because we were driving by not expecting to see anything new. Approximately five weeks after finishing up at the design center, they broke ground and started on our lot. I was told that in the foundation phase when you see the concrete your home will appear smaller than what it really is and that’s exactly how I felt. I was walking on the foundation trying to envision where everything would be and it just didn’t seem right at first, but I recalled some wise words from a friend, “just relax, it will all turn out fine” – that’s helped me a lot during this process, but not that I’ve anxious or anything 🙂

Framing

The framing phase is when they frame out the floor plan with wooden beams and make way for the electrical wiring, the insulation and so forth. At this point we could walk through the house and get a feel for how things will be and how they were making way for what was to come. Also at this point I pulled out my notes app to notate anything that wasn’t right, needed to be fixed or something that was questionable and based on the horror stories I’ve heard from other people who’ve built homes, I’m glad to say this list was very very minimal – hardly anything. This was also the phase when the daily stalking began because there were changes from day to day and I didn’t want to miss anything!

Brick

Oh, the brick! My fave! So I have to give Joe credit for this because he picked out the brick. I initially wanted a darker brick that was actually one of the popular ones in the neighborhood, many of the homes had it and I thought it was beautiful. However, my husband wanted us to be different and chose a brick that no other house in our neighborhood has, yet! We were sent by our designer to a home in one of their other neighborhoods to view it in person and I have to admit I loved it. But then on my daily trips through my neighborhood I always saw the one I initially wanted I started to want it all over again! BUT when they started laying the brick on our house and I saw the character and originality, I was sold!

Sheetrock Walk-through

I learned that sheetrock is drywall, imagine that! When we were told that they would be doing the sheetrock next, I said “awesome” and then googled later because in my mind I’m thinking more cement! Anyway, once those walls went up it got really real! We had our first walk through with our sales woman and construction manager. He took his time to walk around the entire house inside and out going over everything they had done and what they would be doing. He was very informative with information about water, AC and all the other important house stuff lol. He also answered some questions I had written down in my notes 🙂

Paint, Doors and Cabinets

Once I started seeing the doors and cabinets go up, then it began to look like a real house to me. On one of my morning visits (because I now do a morning and evening visit lol) I was excited to see all the doors and cabinets had been delivered. Joe and I got to somewhat see the process of the door installation which involves them painting the doors after arriving and applying several coats of paint and sealant. They also have painted the entire house (we got our master in a different color from the rest of the house), put up the crown molding, installed the cabinets, tubs and the countertops. Joe and I went to visit when they first started painting and I must say I had second thoughts about the color I chose (I’ll share details and specifics about colors, flooring, countertops, etc. in the final post). Some grays have blue undertones and I was afraid it wasn’t going to look good, but Joe assured me that everything would be beautiful and now that the crown molding is up, the cabinets are up and the kitchen countertops are installed, it looks great!

 

So my final post will be once the house is complete and I’m hoping to do a vlog 🙂 If you’ve built your home and/or have gone through the home buying process, share with me your thoughts, tips or experiences! I’d love to hear from you!

Live well,

It’s my BIRTHDAY 🥳🎉💕

Today I choose joy, gratitude, peace, abundance, love, hope and all the good things! Year 35 was filled with many ups and downs, but I’m so thankful for the growth, to still be here and to be in purpose. Although I was certain this birthday would look different, I know that God still has a great plan and a promise to fulfill. So, I enter chapter 36 with expectancy and faith 🙌🏽

Also, now that I’m over 30 and closer to 40 I can never remember my age. I always ask my husband how old we are because who keeps up with ages after 30?! 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

Anyway, cheers to 36 🥂 (P.S. if you want to bless your girl with a little birthday coffee money check my stories 🥰🙏🏽)

It’s June which means it’s my birth month 🎉💕 

I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey.

I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors). I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness. I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽

What are you claiming this month? Let me know below ⬇️

Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

It’s June which means it’s my birth month 🎉💕 

I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey.

I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors). I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness. I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽

What are you claiming this month? Let me know below ⬇️

But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey. I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors). I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness. I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽 What are you claiming this month?

Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

God has really been working on me in the area of worry. During my 21-day fast that was one of our focuses, to abstain from worrying. Someone asked me, “how do you stop worrying? That’s so hard.” That was my question as well because for so long worry has been my first response to any type of threat, problem or challenge in life. Worry is the result of focusing on our inabilities instead of focusing on God’s abilities. The more I read about what God has to say about worry the more I realized that worry is a choice and we have more control over that thing than we realize. 

God promises us peace but peace doesn’t just come magically. That promise of peace is conditional which means we have to do something in order to receive it - thus indicating that we have a choice. God promises us peace if our minds are fixed on Him, not on our problems. God knows that we will be faced with situations in life that will cause us to worry, but the beauty in this is that we can choose how to respond to those situations. We can choose to worry or choose to accept peace. We make it so complex but when you think about it it’s so simple.

If you are like me and you often let worry dictate how you respond to life’s challenges, I want to encourage you to choose peace. When you feel yourself being filled with worry or anxiety, turn those thoughts over to God and practice that every single moment the enemy tries to tempt you to worry. It’s not going to be an easy habit to break but we know that practice makes perfect.

If you’re choosing peace this week, let me know in the comments and share this with someone else who needs to choose peace 🙏🏽🤍
