Chapter 5

After four days in the jeep and stopping at night to sleep. They finally got to Uganda early in the morning on the fifth day. They were greeted with lots of hugs.

"Jodene, Paul! I've got great news," yelled Amber as she got out of the jeep.

"Amber! Welcome back. You too Boyce. How was your stay? Tell me all about it," Jodene said.

"Well we celebrated with Ruth and Patrick. Then before we ate the big supper, Boyce got everyone's attention and proposed to me with everyone watching," Amber summarized.

"My dad became a billionaire and bought us some land next to yours. Now we're going to start building our house. But I'll out some pluming in. also, Amber is going to live with me and my dad and go to school were I'm a senior at right now. She's going to transfer from the University of Miami," Boyce finished Amber's summery.

"That's wonderful! What will become of the house you build," asked Jodene.

"I plan to convince Boyce's dad to let us work here in Uganda, so we can live here permanently. Well we've got to start to build our house see you at lunch," Amber and Boyce waved goodbye.

It took about an hour to draw up the plans for the house. The house would have three floors. On the first floor there would be a kitchen, living room, family room and dinning room. The second floor would have the master bedroom with a bathroom and three other bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Then the third floor would come and it would be a finished attic.

Now that the plans were done the two started to cut down trees for lumber. By about noon they stopped for lunch. They had gotten three trees down but they still have to be cut and flattened. That would take a while to do. So Paul said that he'd help when he could. They ate penutbutter sandwiches for lunch and back to work with the extra pair of hands.

Amber said that they should carpet the floor once it was leveled. That way it wouldn't have to be splinter proof. So Boyce called his dad to order some carpeting and tiling.

For the living room they chose a dark blue rug. The bedroom rug is red. In the bathrooms and the kitchen they put down white tile. For the attic they had four rooms with green rugs. The house was done in one month but it had no furniture or utilities when they left for the school year.
