Birthday!

I just had to share this picture of a gift my friend Grace gave me for my birthday. She made these flower cookies herself, and they taste AMAZING! She needs to open up her own bakery. Porterville could definitely use one!

Garage, Rain Gutters, & Finished Bathroom

The outside of our home is just about complete now - just waiting for the shutters on the windows. The garage is up! We were able to walk through the home this morning before school and saw that the master bath is almost complete now too - the bathtub, sinks, toilet, lighting fixtures, and shower seat are all in! Just waiting for the mirrors and doors to the shower! In the kitchen, the microwave and dishwasher have been installed, as well as the sink. The chandelier is hanging from the ceiling too and gives the dining room a nice look! Today, the carpet goes in!


By the way, today is the last day of school!!!! :) :) :) Year two in Porterville FLEW by!

Landscaping & Lights!





Today's pictures show two days of work... May 31 & June 1st. The first picture is the house with GRASS and PLANTS! Our friend did the landscaping for us and chose beautiful trees and flowers, and he he even put some nice plants along the sidewalk of our home. It's neat to see what the lawn looked like before and after the grass & sod was put was put in.






Also pictured is the air conditioning unit... it's about as tall as my husband...



The carriage lights, patio lights, garage lights, bedroom lights, and dining room chandelier are all in now too. We couldn't get inside the house, so the picture of the dining room is taken outside through the sliding glass door. If you look carefully, you can also see that the floor is in - though it's really dirty right now & covered in dust! :) Also pictured on the garage is the address of our home!























































































































































Visitor From Around the World!

This past weekend was so special to Jeremiah and I. My brother Marc's mother-in-law (Daksha) came all the way from India to see Porterville! :)
