I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted...actually we've been so busy, it is pretty believeable!
My new business officially started yesterday. I started a Residential Habilitation and Day Habilitation company for adults with disabilities. We only have one special client right now--Mike's younger brother Kirk. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do this. My mom moved down here a couple of weeks ago and she is the Program Supervisor and the primary caregiver for Kirk right now. Within in the next month or so we will be hiring other employees. We've had to jump through several hoops with the state and we had some very stressful days, but we truly believe that this opportunity is a blessing from the Lord. It is truly amazing to see how it will bless the lives of all of our family members and eventually be able to bless the lives of other families with children with disabilities.
Our Residential Habilitation is in our house, so we moved in with Mike's mom and my mom and Kirk moved into our house. We finally had everything moved on Saturday. Things still aren't completely put away, but we're working on it. It took a while for us to be able to move because work was still being done on Geraldine's house. Her new bedroom was finally finished late Saturday night. We also had some work to do on our Day Habilitation site. That is pretty much finished, just a little bit of rearranging and some more furniture will really fill it up, but it's great for now.
Dad, Kletey, and Kitty (his girlfriend) came out when Mom moved out here, so we put them to work too! Kitty painted the kids' bedroom over at Geraldine's, and it looks great. Dad and Kletey worked on building the foundation for our new house that we're starting to build. Kletey went home midweek, but Dad stayed and he and Mike were able to get the entire foundation built! Once we have our construction loan, we'll be ready to put up a house!
We have had constant projects around here, but all of them are so exciting! I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!

Wow, Nicole! That is really exciting! Congrats on that BIG accomplishment! We used to live in Laramie and ARK regional services is owned by a good friend. If you need any info, I can get you whatever. :)
Sounds like things are really coming together. Glad that you are somewhat situated. When do you think you will be done with your new house? Before winter?
wow so much going on. I think what you are doing is so great! You are sacrificing so much right now, giving up your home to live with your MIL. I hope your new home goes up without a hitch and that your new business is a success!
Maybe by winter 2010! HA! Hopefully we'll be in it in about a year...:)Mike is going to do the majority of the work himself, so it will definitely take longer, but it will be worth it! We're hoping to have it framed and sheeted and roofed before it's too cold so that work can be done on the inside during the winter...we'll see!
That's great. I had no idea you guys were starting a business or anything. It sounds like a huge blessing for everyone. Good luck with it!
