Building the Braid Castle - Thank You!

Just wanted to take a moment and say thanks to everyone who has helped us thus far in our adventure of castle building.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

• Bill & Kathy Braid (My In-loves). I could not even begin to list all the ways you have helped. Without you this would not have been possible. Thank you for believing with us and sharing our dream. Thanks for all the times you've picked up a paint brush, a broom, watched the kids for us, made innumerable dump runs, gone shopping w/us, laid flooring, helped with the boiler, brought food, and all the other little things you've done. Your encouragement and faith in us is priceless.
• Ashley Wells (my Design Star & Sister) Thanks for all your inspiration, encouragement and guidance. You gave me the courage to make decisions I felt incapable of making and your guidance has been extremely helpful. Thanks for all your hard work. We really appreciate it!
• Justin & Gloria Braid (My bro & sis-in-loves) Justin- thanks for taking time out of your vacation to help us paint, sweep, vacuum, work on the boiler and plan. Gloria - thanks for making us a nephew and helping watch the kids and sacrificing Justin on your vacation. You guys rock!
• Mary Hanna (My Mama aka Nana). Thanks for all your help with clean up and all your encouragement. It seems like every time you come over there has been a new layer of dust that you've selflessly cleaned up. Thanks also for the yummy cookie bars! They gave us some extra energy to keep going. 
• Dennis Runcorn (My Daddy aka Papa). Thanks so much for the KFC dinner. It was so nice not having to worry about running home to make dinner in the middle of our work. Can't wait to have you over for a BBQ this summer!
• Brittany Schaefer (My BFF). Thanks so much for volunteering your time to watch the girls and keep me company while I tried my hand at tiling the bathtub surround. It made the time go by so much faster and less stressfully. Love ya chic!
• Jolene Tobius (My new good friend). Thanks for sacrificing your time to come paint with me! :) Many hands makes for light work. You are always a joy to be around. Thanks also for sacrificing your husband to pull out shrubs. I know you guys don't get a lot of time together so it means a lot.
• Chad Tobius (Nathan's good friend and coworker). Thanks for sacrificing your SKIN!! I know you must of had a nasty sunburn after pulling out shrubs with your truck all day.  Thank you! Thanks also for giving up most of a saturday to help us do yard work (every man's dream, right?)
