Our Timber Trail Cottage

Merry Christmas everyone! Sure hope you are enjoying the season.
Here it is almost Christmas, and I know that if I don't get some pictures posted and update this blog now, that I'm probably not going to until the new year (like our "New Year's" card - we'll hopefully send one out in the New Year with a picture of the family, since Christian's family and Sean will get here on Christmas day).
We'll be enjoying our family, having all our children and seven grandchildren together - GLORY!!!!

Below are some pics of our home where we live now. (For the house we are building see Al's blog sangreeconstruction.com and click on "blog". Maybe down the road I'll post some myself)


"BEFORE"
Well, here is our little Timber Trail Lane cottage the day we bought it.
It is only 2 mins. away from the land that we bought, and so we thought we would live in it while we built.
We finally got permission to fix up the outside, since we have a stream on our property within 50 feet of the house. (This was nothing short of a miracle).

The great day arrived and Josh Jorich came to work. Al took this picture - I was so excited!

Now the front and the outside would match the interior. It's awesome having a contractor for a husband!

After having waited for so long I felt that someone should have shouted into a loudspeaker "Good morning Sangrees", because it was an "extreme makeover".

"AFTER"

This is now our little cottage but it does not appear so little any more.

We love it here, with the sound of our little stream and waterfall - it is so peaceful and scenic.

We're not sure what we're going to do since this little place is so easy to heat and maintain, and we also love where and what we're building two minutes away. A double blessing! - we'll see how God leads.

I just ran out and took this tonight with our Christmas decorations, this is how it looks - so cozy!

From our home to yours,

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
