Eatmons arrive at move in day Their Habitat home is finished By GINA KINSLOW Glasgow Daily Times Mikayla Eatmon got a kick out of showing everyone her new bedroom.
The 9-year-old’s room is decorated with a horse theme. “The curtains have like horses and horseshoes on them,” she said. Mikayla’s family was recently awarded a Habitat for Humanity house, which was built in the city’s Grandview area. A dedication ceremony to commemorate the completion of the house took place Friday afternoon, after which the family gave everyone a tour. “I’m going to be glad to get moved into it,” said Mikayla’s dad, Ernie. “We’re going to start (moving) this evening.” The family joined a large group of volunteers in building the house. According to Ernie, he and his wife, Katie, plus Mikayla and her brothers, Michael, 12, and Gabriel, 15, spent quite a few hours working on it. “Every weekend for almost a year,” Ernie said. Katie found it difficult to describe how she felt. “Gosh, it’s beyond words to be able to have your own home, where your kids get grown and move away and they can say they had their own home,” she said. It was Katie who decided to complete the application for a Habitat for Humanity home. “I had a lot of family several years ago to try and get me to sign up, and I never would do it,” she said. “Then all of a sudden out of the clear blue I just felt it upon my heart one day and I went and applied for it.” She prayed that her family would be awarded a house through the organization. “I told the good Lord that if it’s your will for us to get it, you will open the door. If it’s not, you’ll shut it and we’ll understand,” she said. “The Lord opened the door and now here we are.” The family was given two siding colors from which to choose, plus the type of floor they wanted. They also got to choose their wall color. Decorating the house, Katie said, has been a lot of fun.
