My how time flies.... (or, ode to becoming an AFCH)

Time sure has a way of getting away from you. Here it is May 21, 2007, and so much has happened, and not happened since the last time I posted.

First, we are still in the process of working on this home to get it ready for an assisted living facility. So many 'hoops' to jump through and people to 'please' to get this finalized. It is amazing. We are in the process now of waiting for our new septic permit that has been revised as one of our job bidders told us of some 'flaws' in the original permit. We have waited a week now for the new permit or news of the changes, so far nothing is being done. Pasco County Environmental Services 'hard at work'.

Secondly, my husband and I are still working our 'day' jobs, both of which we do not like that much but we have to pay bills. My husband was without a job from August of 2006 until late-January 2007, the Lord has provided during this entire time without faulter. Praise God. We need to keep reminding ourselves of what God has brought us through and that some way, some how this will all come together for good, as long as it is God's will for this family. I believe it is God's will for this family just by the mere fact we have been tested and endured some tribulations to get as far as we are.

This is what remains to be done:

• revisions of permit for septic system revealed
• new bids for septic changes
• accept bid for septic changes per permit
• septic to be completed
• septic to have final inspection from the PCEHS
• application to State for the license to be an AFCH for up to 4 residents
• business insurance
• go through appropriate processes for getting residents, either private or through State
• quit day jobs once all residents are in place! me probably sooner to be available for first resident, etc.....
• obtain LLC
• live happily ever after!
