Greetings from the Stout home-- Tomorrow is Friday--HOORAY!!!!!!
The past few days have been typical Stout mid-week: Maddie school, I subbed two half days (one at terrace and one at northwest= ankeny schools), Tim working and of course Wednesday church consisting of Awana and Student Ministry. Tonight we had a professional home builder come and evaluate our attic/dormer to give us some ideas, estimates and logistical building stuff information as we begin the research about whether or not finish the upstairs. It is going to cost a bundle ($45,000 for a professional) and so I do believe we will being hiring people who do it as a second job or recruiting friends to help!
Our contractor gave us valuable structural info and some GREAT ideas about how "fix-up" our upstairs room. The biggest problem is ceiling clearance- now if we were short that wouldn't be a problem but when your hubby is 6'5" that can possess a bit of a problem! The blessing is that there is a stack upstairs to help with heat and plumbing!!!!! PLEASE PRAY for wisdom for us in this area. We are in NO HURRY to finish the job- we want to do our best with our money and our beautiful home that GOD has given to us!!!!!
Okay-- I am going to vent for a minute---what is in the water around here or anywhere for that matter- almost every gal I know is pregnant or just had a baby! That's great for them, but we keep getting bombarded with questions like, "When do you plan to have another one?? What's the hold up???? Isn't it your turn??? Two years is a long time???" and so on and so forth! We are just simply walking in God's will and trusting HIM for every detail of our lives!!!!
Okay enough of that! Time to put the girls to bed!
Have a great FRIDAY!
