Christmas Eve and Day
Tamara Jones is thanking God for His Son Jesus, who was brought into this world to die for me. Happy Birthday Jesus and Merry Christmas to all my friends and family! Spent the day
Allowed the girls to wake us up an hour earlier this year (7am) to open presents. They were so excited. It was nice to see them get something after all that they have been through. Went to mama's for lunch and presents there. All in all a great Christmas!

December 21, 2009 at 11:27amTamara Jones is having a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS in her new house. Sitting by the fire, watching Christmas movies with my family. My kids baked a cake and cookies, we hung our new stockings (thanks Mrs. V) on our mantel beside our little tree and are waiting for our Lord's birthday!

Face book quotes....
Tamara Jones is wondering...Lord, I have tried to keep a patient and good attitude through this trial. But today I am wondering, is this just my life, or does others experience things like this?

So the week of the 18th came, the day our living room and bedroom furniture was coming. The men and women had stayed late on Thursday to try to finish, but could not do it. They were coming back on the 18th, but THE SNOW BEAT THEM HERE. We had two men come in and try to do some final clean up so we could move in. Jay and I picked up the girls from school around 11am and we came home to the bedroom furniture being delivered, lovely! Those two men worked all day while the snow poured down and finished putting our beds together so we could sleep our first night in the new house.. What a great group of men! Then around 7pm we found out that the living room furniture was stuck in the snow and would try to get to the house on Saturday.

This is my appliances being delivered, but the truck went off into the ditch beside my driveway. Two days from moving in, and I am experiencing the everything that can go wrong will go wrong phase. Lord, please be with me, keep my spirits up. PLEASE!

Tamara Jones is on my computer listening to my baby snoring in her room, which is about 3 feet from me. Part of me thinks I will miss the togetherness my family has shared in the box. Well, maybe just a tiny bit, not too much!
December 15, 2009 at 10:21pmTamara Jones is asking you to join her in prayer...PLEASE, oh PLEASE, Lord do NOT let it snow or ice tomorrow. My furniture is coming tomorrow and we only have limited power/water/gas in the box. Please, Please, Please, no precipitation.
December 17, 2009 at 7:07amTamara Jones Moving Day, Moving Day, I am moving into my new house today, moving day, moving day, the snow will not keep me away! Ha, we are moving into an unfinished house, and I am thankful! The men will be working around us next week, but they are happy for us that we can move in before Christmas!

Final inspection was set for December 14th......
Face book quotes....
When we passed inspection, I cried and Jay hugged the inspector. It was a true look at all of the emotions that Jay had bottled up for the past five months.
First week of December through December 14!

Tamara Jones is asking for prayer! My inspection is set for Monday. If all mechanical passes inspection, we could have our CO (Certificate of Occupancy) on Monday. The house will not be done, but we can start moving stuff in and prepare to live there within the next week. PRAISE GOD, this is almost over and I thank HIM for all of the blessings He has shown us!
December 11, 2009 at 4:13pTamara Jones God is so Good, God is so Good, God is so Good, He's so Good To ME!!! Inspection passed! We are moving in by Friday! PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD!

Tamara Jones is praying that I do not yell today. The flooring people are here and they did not order what we signed for, they brought a cheaper grade hardwood and I am so upset. Waiting for a return call to see how they plan on fixing it so I can sleep in my house Christmas Eve!December 1, 2009 at 11:38am

Tamara Jones is thankful that the flooring company chose to order the correct hardwood flooring although it will be another week before it is here and installed. ARRG, but the vinyl is down in the house, and I love it, I think it is beautiful! Things are still moving forward, hoping to have the rest of the kitchen cabinets tomorrow. December 2, 2009 at 9:13p
Tamara Jones All I want for Christmas is my house to be done, my house to be done, my house to be done. All I want for Christmas is my house to be done, so I can have a Merry Christmas!
The first couple of weeks of December were extremely busy. Floors were installed, painting was started, doors were installed inside, etc. The plumbers, heating and air, and electricians had to finish and get final inspection. Finishing touches were coming together, but it still seemed so far away. We were at Lowe's picking out things we had forgot to pick out, or things we had not been told to pick out and it felt like we lived at Lowe's a lot.
Kitchen cabinets, not done!

The flooring people have to order the correct hardwood and it will not be in until Monday or Tuesday so the contractor is trying to rearrange the other subs to come on different days. My cabinet man says he is coming to do the other cabinets tomorrow. We will see...

Wow, I took a minute and looked at my blog today and realized that it has been FOREVER since I have blogged. So I will try to put the past month out here for all to see, short version...
We kept our tradition of buying a live tree for Christmas the week of Thanksgiving. We went that weekend and paid $15 for a three foot tree and then had Lowe's cut a 1 1/2 off of it. We took it to the box and had to cut another 6-8 inches off it to make it fit in our kitchen window. The four of us took to decorating it, like we always do, and it took about 3 minutes to have lights and decorations on it. We laughed and laughed, but inside, I was a little sad. Christmas is such a great time for me, I love the story of the birth of my Savior, and we usually go all out with decorating. However this year we limited ourselves to just a few decorations and were happy enough.

Snow and all, we were able to get all three bedrooms put together with furniture. The living room delivery truck is stuck in Rutherfordton, the delivery man had to spend the night at the firehouse. Moved about 1/2 of the stuff from the box to the house, until it got too COLD to go back outside. What a great life I lead thanks all to Him.
