It Has Started.

 The time has come!! Pop and Grammy arrived Wednesday, March 18th. Their camper is parked next to ours, I have to remember to get a picture. We started building Friday. It was hot, but we didn't care, everyone was excited. Saturday we celebrated Mom's 50th Birthday, it was so fun! Today, Blake, Michael and Pop worked on the cabin. I stayed up at mom and dad's to clean the Airbnb cabins. Otis got to play in the woods with Henry and Ian. They built a fort, Otis said they were so busy he didn't have time to go inside so he had to poop outside. LOL. Granna flew home from the Little Rock airport, mom and dad dropped her off on their way to Florida. 

We are still waiting on the loan, the bank said two more weeks. We've been using our savings to buy the lumber so far, but staying hopeful the loan is done quicker. Blake goes home in the morning and Michael is working all day. I think pop and I will go shopping for more lumber. The deck is next!

     The sun has been out the last week and it's been great! Michael and I were able to get a lot done outside. Only a few more weeks until we start on the cabin. I'm getting more and more excited every day. I can't wait to have a real kitchen, bedroom door and a normal toilet. The camper life has been good but I'm ready to have a porch. 

    Michael and I spent the weekend with Mom and Dad. On our way to leave, we stopped at our neighbor Perry's house. There were two cop cars and our other neighbors in the front yard. I knew it couldn't be good news. Perry had passed. He had been struggling with his health the last few months and had spent Christmas in the hospital. We loved Perry, Otis looked forward to seeing him on our way home from school. Michael and I both enjoyed many sunny afternoons on his patio with a cold beer. He was gentle and kind, never in a rush. It was a joy to be around him. I am thankful to have known Perry. 

    Tomorrow is the start of the busiest month that we have had in a while. Soccer games, dentist and dr. appointments, family, friends, birthday party, baby shower! I'm sure I'm forgetting something. 

My momma says I need to add pictures to my post, I'm going to try and figure out how.
