all things family: me, the hubster, and the kiddos.
Life sure does make some turbulent turns. A little over a year ago when my ex took off, a very wise man, not to mention a very dear friend of mine, said, “Man, sorry he really shook up your snow globe.” That’s the best analogy I have ever heard in my life and it Continue reading
Well, the construction is cruising along…we have the first coat of stucco on the exterior and most of the drywall is up inside! Take a look at the house page for more photos.
We were out at the house this morning and were very happy to see the that exterior wall construction was nearing completion.

The door frames and the roofing tiles were also on site, so we look Continue reading
After years of hoping for the opportunity, Maureen is finally taking her PADI Open Water Diver course (with Eco Dive Center).

We were out to the house on Sunday morning to take care of some of our options…the upgraded espresso stained railing and the rain gutters. We were very excited to see that the second floor and roof framing was complete. Take a look at the house page for more photos.

We decided to add granite counter tops to the Master Bathroom and the downstairs bathroom (Bath #3). Also, we are going to have the fireplace surround done Continue reading
