Sam - During Basic Training

Thank God for Facebook . . . .  And a huge THANK YOU to the people who not only created, but maintained the Facebook page for Fort Jackson BCT.  Each week pictures were posted of all the companies and those platoons. 

Even though the phone calls were weeks apart I was able to know how things were going and the things Sam was learning during those quite times.  And when he called I was able to ask about something or have an idea of what he was talking about.

Our Latest Basement Project

Thanks to some recycled pallet wood and a very patient husband this bedroom is complete.  I made a deal with Micah that I would not buy another gallon of paint until I used up everything I already had - SO I DID IT!!  I was able to paint all of Sam's new bedroom in paint that we already had from other projects around the home and Micah patiently piece each piece of wood to the wall to make it look like old barn wood that was cut just for the walls.

This is my my most favorite bedroom of the house by far - It is also means that we are closer to finishing our basement after seven years.
