I'm excited to tell you about our house progress but first and MOST importantly...my sister and Rob (her fiance) won custody of Aideyn (Rob's nephew) !!! Gosh....we all dreaded that day in court but everything turned out soo wonderfully! After days of little sleep and lots of worrying.....its over and I couldn't be happier!!!
I found this quote and had to show it to my sister that morning....she loved it. Sometimes reading inspirational stuff is the only way I can really calm my nerves (especially for a situation like what we were going through) so I shared this and it worked=)
Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.
As if I didn't already post 1000 pictures of precious Aideyn, I'm sure I'll be posting many more. Every free moment I have, I want to be in Vicksburg playing with that precious baby! I just love him to pieces!

More house stuff...
Nic and I met with an interior designer and spent 3 hours looking at this stuff. I thought this would be the fun part...I was not prepared!!!
faucets, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, shower heads/sprayers, light fixtures, fans, chandelier's, sconces, exterior lights....I had no clue where to begin. I basically let this lady make all of these choices for me and now I'm praying I don't regret it!
My only input..."I want a timeless look" Although I love change, I don't believe I want to change ANY of these things for a long long time. I want everything we choose to be "timeless" and stay in style forever!
Nic was torn between 2 lights and asked my opinion......THEY LOOKED IDENTICAL to me!?

These all look the same to me! I don't pay enough attention to detail, who does?!
Nic chooses a huge pot rack to go over our kitchen island , I chose this for the bathroom, building is all about compromising=)
Nic standing in the foyer (explaining stuff to me as I snap pictures because its all greek!)
Blacking out walls on the guest bedrooms
I've decided to stay away from pinterest for awhile. Things I love on there, I'm being told aren't "practical".... LOVED the copper farm house sink.....the designer lady said those are HORRIBLE in kitchens- antibacterial soap (along with other chemicals and soaps) bleach the sides and ruin the look. Who would have thought it? "Only looks good in pictures", she said!
Picked out cabinets and colors- look at them in a showroom and hate them...I need to see everything in real life...pinterest has messed me up!
Nic is LOVING this building process. He is on the site EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (multiple times) We have met all of the neighbors and even people from down the street(because we are there TOO much) Nic enjoys this so much he has already talked about doing it again.....NOT THIS GIRL! I'm not good with making decisions and EVERYTHING about building requires decision making- I'm handing it over to Nic. I'll give my input when it comes time for paint colors=)
Anyone that is considering building-call Nic! He is LOVING this. That boy is full of questions and stays 2 steps ahead of our builder! I'm honestly impressed by his knowledge of all of this but he gets frustrated with me because I "just don't get it". Definitely comes easier to those that ENJOY making decisions and pay attention to detail (that aint me!)
They are supposed to hopefully finish framing the upstairs tomorrow (if the rain doesn't mess things up). I'm so excited to see how much more it transforms!!!!
