This week at Felicity...

My Dear Felicitites,

As i sit in Starbucks on this April Fools Day writing to you, i only wish I was joking. We have found ourselves at a standstill with Felicity. In order to move on, we really need the wood floors redone, however the cost is not in our budget. So i am waiting, canvassing and praying for money to finish the project. I ask that you pray with me.

Also - every time the painter has scheduled us into his busy life to come and begin the exterior, the weather has not cooperated with him. As soon as we have some consistent weather (i know that's an oxymoron in Colorado) we will be able to move on the outside.

So it looks to me Felicity will be delayed in its opening. REGARDLESS, in the words of Winston Churchill, i promise to "NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!"

Yours affectionately,

Christine

Floors!

Well we have had some great progress today!  John Williams has come and torn up the rest of the laminate flooring in the Kitchen and in the Bathroom.  The kitchen floor is now ready to be built on and tomorrow i may shop for new laminate!

The bathroom has a bit more work, we found mold and will have to take care of that before laying the tile.

BUT it's PROGRESS!

Yay us!

Love it! This is everything Felicity wants to be.  A room of our own.  Maybe we should stencil this in somewhere in the house!

UPDATE:

Still waiting to hear back from the Foursquare Foundation Grant to see if we were accepted for a grant.  

We have been cleaning the house and are ready to tackle the wood floor.  The floor in the kitchen has also been coming up and we will retile or do something to it.  I am praying to get everything done so we can open soon!

Waiting...

So this week, I have sent off a grant application to the Foursquare Foundation.  I have asked for 10,000 of the 25, 000 I would love to have to have to really get our little felicity house moving. We will know March 1, if we have qualified for a closer look.

Also, the Exterior Painter has scheduled twice and both times we have been met with inclement weather.  We have yet to reschedule.

So I have turned my attention to the interior of the house and hope to have it all cleaned up and finished soon.  My wonderful husband is really pushing to finish!  Yay!  Progress!

Keep praying!

Christine

Thank you for your support, now don't leave me!

Dear Felicitites,

I am back to work today, trying to determine what needs are to be done in the house so we can open this Spring.  I must say... I am overwhelmed!

BUT... I am energized by the support I have received from many of you.  We will get this done and in 6 months we will be sipping tea out on Templeton Gap discussing a trip to Paris.

How does that sound???

Well now you can tell me.  We have moved the Blog to a new site so we can be more interactive with each other.  It is also much easier for me to blog on the fly!  For those of you on facebook we do have a page there that can be seen if you are in the Colorado Springs Network.  

For now, take the poll, comment on the blog and I will get to work on the Felicity to do list!
