"a big house on the prairie gets a loving restoration".


This is the icing on the cake for our house-hard-work.  INSPIRED HOME OMAHA magazine wrote about our home in the November-December 2013 issue that will be delivered to subscribers this week, and went online at the Inspired Home Omaha web site this weekend.  We are humbled and giddy all at the same time. 

Editor Chris Christen was gracious to feature us in her opening editorial on Page 6, and our article entitled "A Big House on the Prairie Gets a Loving Restoration" is on Pages 50-57.  Use the link below to take a peek!

Chris and I went to grade school and high school together.  We rekindled our friendship over this process which has made this whole wonderful ordeal even more magical.

We really feel honored by the magazine article.  Mike said "It feels like a fitting capstone to this project, and I feel that we experienced God's Grace by even getting the house done."   It seems amazing that we started this little blog back in 2010 as a place to encourage Mike with the progress he was making on the house.  Back when there was so much yet to do that you could easily forget that you had done anything!  Magic happened when many of you followed us, and cheered us along the way with your loving comments & encouragement. 

Thank you!
