hello friends,
i wanted to post earlier this week . . . but, this week has been very, um, interesting. we found out last wednesday that many things had not been done properly with our construction loan write -up, and the bank was reviewing our loan and had decided to put a cap on our loan. our house is about 2/3 done - not livable yet. and we aren't anywhere near the borrowing amount that we were told we could use. so. this past week has been meetings and phone calls and information seeking until i don't have much of a voice anymore. but. we have ended the week on a more positive note. i had a conversation with the president of the bank we are using, and they are going to open our construction line again for a very specific amount. we can move forward on finishing our house! i am also going to continue to really educate myself and find the best final mortgage loan that i can. this has been such a week of learning. and of focusing on knowing that God is in control of everything, and that i just have to trust Him. it is such a feeling of peace when i lay my burdens down and ease into the rest that He offers.
and now, for some pictures!
Tomorrow I will take some pictures inside the house - and of the garage - Ben has all the trim on it now. :) I'll do my best to keep updating regularly - but my internet is slow . . . and I know that this coming week will be full . . .
I hope you are all having a wonderful, relaxing weekend.
