Camping and Cold weather

So 70 degrees may not be "cold weather", but here in Texas, we'll take it!

About 2 weeks ago, we had our first "cold" snap (where the temperature dipped into the lower 50's!) so Matt and I started a fire in our fire pit and had hot chocolate!

Last weekend we took a couple of boys we have befriended and went camping with another family from our church. It had been a while since I had been camping---but oh so enjoyable. We went to Lake Somerville and camped by the Lake. Sorry I forgot to take pictures, but we all had a great time. We especially enjoyed going with our friends and spending time with them.

The Build-Out (part one)

We are embarking on building out our carport into 400 more square feet of usable house space! Hooray!

Matt and I brought our budget friendly home with plans to build out and maximize the potential of the home. As it stands it is 950 feet which is great for just the 3 of us, but we'd like more room for larger groups of people and for some plans that the Lord is leading us in.

This is what it looked like 6 months ago. eeeek!

Horrible wasn't it. The bad part is that is isn't much better now...

This past week we purchased our backdoor and tile for the new room.

We are finalizing our plans for the room and then construction begins. 

Stay tuned for more updates!
