Ice Ice Baby



We had a good freeze over this past week...very frozen over. The ground, roads, roof, everything had a layer of ice. School was delayed and canceled and delayed- as well as house stuff.

But today we are off and running. Plumber is in the house- roofer is on the house putting shingles down. Very exciting times!

SNOW!!!!!

In almost any other circumstance, we would be excited to see snow. But not right now! The framers have not finished sheathing the trusses and we had the roofers all lined up to get the house covered up. We have to wait for things to warm up before we can get the next subs in. AAUGHHH!

And a roof- a massive steep roof!




These poor guys have been out working in the FREEEEEEEZING cold. It is 14 degrees right now and the wind is supposed to pick up and make it -11!!!

Horse Play

We really have enjoyed amazing weather the last few weeks and spent quite a bit of time- in between piano- scouts etc.- at the house. Parker has found a new friend. We think he thinks it's a big dog. And the horse is so patient with him! Nicer then most of the doggie friends he has:) Maybe because he knows that he can kick him if he really gets annoying.

Wow! Words cannot describe....

I felt a lot better tonight after we dropped in and said hello to our good friends Matt & Amy Durst who are building- on our old lot in Cottonwood Springs. When we told them we were framing Amy asked me if I was nervous--- and I said, "Yes!" Ted wanted me to be jumping for joy but my reaction was more like, "Whoah...this is not how I was picturing it in my head at all." The master bedroom was a lot smaller then I thought it would be- the master bathroom was actually right on. The pantry and craft room are HUGE! and the living room was a lot smaller then I was hoping. Amy asked me if I was looking at everything second guessing myself and feeling like it was too small- and that's exactly how I felt. If you're going to put this much time and effort into something... but she reassured me that she felt the same way and the feeling will go away. I wonder if it goes away because you're so burnt out you just stop caring- or if it all just starts to come together and you see the big picture- a little of both probably.

I hope that I didn't sound ungrateful- I am very very very grateful!! And excited!!! It is amazing to see it unfold.

And we have just been blessed left and right with good weather- good contractors- good friends and family to help us see this through. You can see the ominous dark sky in the background looking like it's going to storm- it just turned into a beautiful sunset instead!!

The main floor is covered and we are getting ready for the 1st floor walls to go up. We've tweaked a few walls but no major changes. . . yet.
