Moving Right Along

The construction men working on our house have made tremendous leaps in progress since I last mentioned. I was shocked myself how quickly things are moving. Last week when we took a trip out there, they had put the boards up around the ground to pour the concrete. We went by there to check on it Tuesday and the concrete had been poured and they had already framed the main level. We totally missed the step of them pouring the concrete. We made a second trip out there late Tuesday night. (Not recommended!!!) I am not sure how I agreed to shining our car lights on the lot to walk through the house. I made it through the entry way, ran through all the rooms in the house and then jetted back to the car. I was like a gazelle sprinting as I was trying to get back to the safety of my car with locked doors. Charles just stood in the area of the dinning room and was completely baffled. I can only imagine what I looked like trying to take a quick peek of each room and then leaving him there to stand alone and laugh at me. I couldn't help it! It was dark! Needless to say late night trips out there have been vetoed by ME and will no longer take place. Charles stopped by yesterday after work and they had made the steps that will lead to the second level. My educated guess is that the second floor will be framed pretty soon. Oh and I have been unsuccessful at posting pictures from my computer. It's just not working out for me. Not sure why but hopefully I will figure out the problem soon so I can have visual aids.

All Boxed Up

So our lot is officially Boxed Up! To those who aren't familiar with contractor lingo (which I didn't know what it stood for either)it means that they are about to pour the concrete for the foundation. I took a trip out there since my days of sleeping in and having SO much free time is almost over. It's official I only have one more week until I return to my four-walled room of primary colors. =) Anyways, I will post pictures later of the progress of our future house (that is if we can sell our current one). Stay tuned!

What? That is Awesome!

This morning I woke up to the familiar sound of a text message. My friend Steph sent me a message from the airport in Kentucky. Of course she knows how much I LOVE dogs so she informed me of a woman who walked up to the terminal with a Doggie Stroller. Yes, I do believe a stroller for a dog is a little much but I just had to see a picture. Stinky that I don't know how to upload a picture from my phone but you guys will have to settle on a picture I found online. I mean, I keep wondering if that lady just got to walk on the plane with the stroller and sit holding her dog as if it were a child. Did she have to pay for a child's ticket? The best question yet....I wonder if I got a doggie stroller (and of course a puppy to go in it) would it help my fear of flying? Probably not, but it might be a good excuse to get my sweet husband to finally get me a puppy. =)

Old English Style

Keeping in mind the amount of time on my hands, I have decided to take up a new hobby. SMOCKING =) I haven't started yet, but I have been reading up and educating myself about the embroidery technique. I have always wanted to learn how to sew but I guess I will start here. A few facts: developed in England, used most extensively in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a variety of variations and patterns. There is probably a certain pattern that you start off with, but I want to skip a few steps and learn how to do Picture Smocking (most commonly seen these days). My schedule of learning may be way off but hey I can dream BIG! Of course I don't have a single item to begin so I definitely need to have a materials list the next time I venture into Hobby Lobby.

Summer Free Time =)

Well, I have decided to blog. I have had so much free time this summer I seem to have nothing else to do. Haha! All this computer online blogging stuff is new to me but it is very interesting. So I say yay to being a blogster! I am joining the club. =)
