List Time

Last night I made a list of all the things we need to do to finish the house. I just want to make it clear that Jere asked for this so we know what needs to be done. I made it so that it's a step by step list of what needs to happen in order for other things to happen. It looks daunting but I will start out having faith that we can be done before school starts in August...Maybe our list will make you feel better about yours. :)
