I finally made it to the library so I could upload pics to the site without it taking all day.

We are getting a lot done. We actually are getting ready to put up the roof boards today, and plans to get a lot done this week.

We had a little delay because the temporary tarp building got a rip in it and things had to be moved out of it. More reason to get the house done! :)

I also have pics uploaded on a building forum. Here is the link if you are interested...

Thank you all for your prayers. We feel them, for sure!

If you feel frisky and want to work on your vacation time, come on down! We could use your help!! :)

God Bless!

Running Water AND Electricity, SWEET!!!

I am SO pleased to announce that we have some progress!! Praise the Lord!! He is so good to us! It set us back a little to get the well and electricity done. We don't have as much completed on the house as we'd like. But we will get there. Hopefully we can get it dryed in before it gets too cold.

Look great in 2008

Here is some information about the challenge...

The website is http://www.talesfromthescales.net/2007/09/index.html
What's the challenge? Look Great in 2008 Challenge.
Don't wait for New Year's Resolutions, start the year out looking and feeling great!
When does it begin and end? Wednesday, September 19 - Tuesday, January 11th
Can I join at anytime? ABSOLUTELY.
What do I need to do? Every Tuesday - weigh yourself. If you have a blog, write about your losses, gains, successes, frustrations. Then come back to Tales from the Scales and sign Mr. Linky, linking back to your weekly blog post. We all need a little accountability, this is a great way to have it.
Do I have to weigh in every Tuesday? Weigh-in on whatever day works best for you. Just report to Tales from the Scales on Tuesday.
Do I have to have a blog? Nope. You can type in your losses/gains next to your name every week. However, perhaps consider starting a blog. They're free and journaling while losing weight is awesome.
How do I get on your blog roll? Just e-mail your blog name and url to Beth at scaletales@gmail.com.(please note: if you find yourself not participating in the challenge, please e-mail me to have your blog removed from the blogroll. Thanks!)
What if I have information I want to share? Please share any thoughts, recipes, product reviews and meaningful blog posts with me. You can e-mail me anything. We'd love for this site to feel like your home, so get your running shoes on and get comfortable! More than likely we will share whatever you send us! Just keep it clean and pertinent!
Do you happen to have any advice for me for this challenge? Why yes I do. Take your before picture now. You will never regret it. When I look at mine, I throw my donut in the garbage and I don't even go back and get it later. Do I have to be on Weight Watchers to join this challenge? Oh goodness no. Do whatever works for you.

So, I'm gonna be starting this on the 19th. I will be posting my journey! :)

Do you want to do this challenge with me?

Hey out there. Anyone want to look great in 2008? Boy, I do. I am taking the challenge. I hope I am up to it! :)

It would help me a lot if I could get someone to do this with me. Let me know if you are interested. I am going to post a "now" picture soon. I'm hoping there will be an "after" picture soon! hee hee.

I think I am going to try "You on a diet", or maybe South Beach Diet. I am going to do some research on them, and I will let you know. If you know anything about these diets, please let me know what you think about them.

Let me know what you think!
