Even though I posted a house update two days ago, I just had to put up more pictures because so much has changed since then. Today they started putting up the brick on the exterior. It was so fun to watch a dozen guys working together on such a big project. They were tossing the bricks one at a time up to each other in a most fascinating rhythm.
Our new neighbor, Daniel, took a picture of us with our "fifteen years of debt." At least, that's how he put it. I'd prefer to think of it as the place where I will raise my family. :-) Either way, it's coming along!
So, this has nothing to do with the house, but I just had to share:
I had a goal of losing all of my pregnancy weight by the time Cora was six months old, and today I reached that goal (not that you can tell in my baggy clothes)! I still have a few more pounds to lose before my summer clothes will fit again, but I am happy with my accomplishment. Yay, me.
Okay, that's enough. Back to the house...
Daniel said that they work around the clock on the houses in the neighborhood. He said that they occasionally work until 9:00 at night, and there is a crew out there sometimes at 5:45 in the morning when he leaves for work (he's in law enforcement... awesome for us!). He said they'd probably have the brick done tomorrow. I don't know if it will be totally done, but I'll bet it will be done by Monday. I may have to post a "Week Two, Part Three" if they keep working at this pace!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
