So I haven't posted in a while, for fear of sounding like I am bragging about the house. While we are very excited, I don't want anyone to feel like we are trying to show off or comparing ourselves to anyone. I just want to document our progress. So, I have stopped emailing posts to people (except my mother-in-law), and I'm letting you find things on your own if you happen to stop by my blog.

Since the last post, we now have shingles, doors and windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation. The mason has started on the brick too. Things are moving along quite well. Mike and I have to finish up the insulation tomorrow, and then we will have our next inspection. After that--sheet rock! Yay!


Brooke had her 14th birthday last Thursday. I took her to lunch with her friend Savannah, and after school she got her hair cut. I forgot to take a picture of her when she was finished, but she got about 6-7 inches cut off! It's cute, but very different after having long hair for so many years!

She also got a Nook--an e-book reader. She is a voracious reader, and I don't have enough room on my shelves to buy books at the rate she reads them! Now she can store 15,000 books on one little device! Wow, modern technology! Think of what the Book of Mormon prophets/authors would think of that!
