The road to our new house...


We have recently bought land, sold our home and moved into what we lovingly refer to as "The Cracker Box" all in preperation to build a house. While all of this sounded wonderful when we planned it out, I really didn't realize just how small "The Cracker Box" really is... We've cut our square footage down by 2/3, most of our furniture and "convenience" items are in storage and there's no where here to just "get away" and have quiet time. I can cook, wash dishes, watch TV, and wash cloths all pretty much at the same time. The driveway looks like a mud bog, with no forseeble chance of drying up any time soon and Tim wants to wait until Summer to start our house... But who's complaining... It's not lost on me that we have a roof over our head, we are healthy and we are getting a lot of quality family time. I just keep telling myself, and my daughter, "just think how much we will appreciate our house when we get it" So for now we'll continue to call "The Cracker Box" home and be thankful for so many blessings God has provided for us.

me a blogger... we will see

Well, I've decided to enter into the world of blogging. Not sure why really, other than I have come to enjoy reading others blogs and thought... "What the heck, I'll give it a try." It remains to be seen if I will take the time to keep this up, but for now I'm looking forward to keeping a "journal" ,of sorts, about the life and times of the Shelton Family... our branch at least.
