The
house is up. Gary Randall and his crew
finished framing it today. It is all
framed. It looks great. It's bigger than I thought. Tar paper is on the roof, and Rog has got
plastic on the windows. The exterior
doors are in also. The weather is still
a mess and it looks as through the basement floor will have to be put off
another week. Bret Kimbal is getting
the windows tomorrow, and we will probably put them in this weekend. It is exciting, finally getting a house. Work has been great lately. The kids are growing up fast. Amanda can ride a 2-wheel bike really good
now, and she can read a mile a minute.
Zachary is so cute, sometimes he can really throw a fit, but he plays
good with others, and up on the hill he's great.(Zac always loved to be
outside when we were working on the house.
Even though he was only 4 1/2, he would play for hours in the dirt and
sagebrush. He would NEVER complain, or
moan to go home. He would help us pick
up wood scraps. He has always been such
a helper) I am happy and looking
forward to the future.

Well,
the house is all plumbed and the electrical work is being done now by Lynn
Mickelsen and Roger. I need to try harder and pray with more
sincerity. God is one of the few who can
help me. Sometimes, allot lately, I've
been down so much. I wonder if it has
something to do with this being May, and I should have had the baby this
month. Maybe so. My feelings are all jumbled up inside. I don't know how to sort them out.

Well
it's been awhile. I have found much comfort in prayer these
last 3 weeks and I am coming to know and trust and love the Lord more. I am glad for all the blessings I have been
blessed with. I have so much to be
thankful for. I will always go on and try my best and trust
in the Lord. The house will start being
bricked today. Also, insulation has to
go in because the sheetrock has to be up and finished this weekend because the
tapers are coming Monday. The electrical
is also done. Rog is working on the
storage tank.
