Hollinsworth House Project: Part 1- Dirt Work and Footings

We have FINALLY started the building project! You don't know how excited we are for this. We have waited and waited and not it is time to start!

Robert started with doing the dirt work and leveling off where the new addition is going to go.









Then the concrete crew came and poured the footings.

















After a long days work, the concrete had to cure for a couple of days...

Now we are waiting on them to come back and pour the walls! It is so exciting to finally see progress, but I can tell it is going to be a waiting game.

More to come later!

Big Cedar Lodge Trip 2013


We decided to take a little get-a-way before the construction on the house commences, so we decided it would be the perfect time to check out Big Cedar Lodge in Branson. This is only about 2 hours from where we live and we can't believe that we haven't checked it out before now! It is amazing! There is nothing better than just lounging around the pool, looking at beautiful scenery, and eating amazing food while spending all of our time together. No meetings, no phone calls, no emails...just a little relaxation. Awesome.


When we got here we checked out our room and unpacked. Here are the details of our room...












Shortly after we got here Ethan and Brooke came to visit. They live in Springfield so it was just a little ways for them to drive. We hung out for a couple hours before they headed back to Springfield. So fun!
Lexi Belle loved it!

We didn't go out to dinner the first night. Our room had a little kitchenette so we made turkey and avaocado subs and hung out in our room.

The next morning we woke up and had coffee and breakfast out on the balcony. I could get used to this.


After breakfast we headed for a fun day at the pool! This place has some awesome pools. Each one is different so you have a ton of options!





We came back and napped and got ready for dinner!


..and lots of pictures!












...more to come tomorrow!
