and several uncles and friends giving of their time
all week long to help us out.
It felt like we had our own personal

We are so, so grateful to them all!!

Yay! Jonathon is building the stairs.
These sweet cousins played outside from morning til night almost every single day.
Covered in dirt, but happy as could be!

March 22~Uncle Paul installing windows & doors
Our house as of Saturday, March 24th!
Framing almost complete {just a few walls upstairs that Phil can finish.}
Everything was shingled . . . just as the rain began to fall on Saturday morning.
What a blessing!
It was a fun week with the entire Nissley family around.
Lots of work, food, and fellowship.
{Oh, and the food/cooking support from the women of the Nissley family,
and even Aunt Rose was amazing as well!! Thanks to you all.}
I think we all probably really appreciated a restful Sunday this week!
I know that exciting feeling, that was us exactly one year ago! Hope it continues to go well, the fun decision making part is still to come, overwhelming at times but great to see the end results
ok so that was some quick progress. happy for ya! you’re gonna love it. i am already quite fond of the remodel we did. so fun to be able to tag your own personality to a place.
I LOVE this! I’m so happy for you and your new place.
Oh, I feel all of the excitement of last summer again as I look at your pictures of your house going up! So humbling, isn’t it, to have so much amazing help from family and friends? I’m feeling emotional just remembering HOW BLESSED we felt to have such and amazing group of people around us as we built – looks like you’ve had an amazing crew so far as well! (of course I am pregnant so emotions are kinda tricky right now…but still!;)). May the rest of your building be blessed!!
