HOME SWEET HOME




Hello All!!!

Well, we are in. Sort of. Day by day, more of our stuff comes in and makes this feel more and more like home. We still have a long way to go, but it is wonderful to finally be here. The wood stove keeps us insanely warm and works for reheating food... The view is incredible and waking up with the sun doesn't seem like a bad thing. Still trying to work out some kinks, but, we'll get there.


I had the joy of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the family. Aside from some slightly dry turkey, it was great. It was nice to be able to do it for the ones who have made this move possible. Enough said... More soon!
Big Love,
Sarah

FEELS LIKE HOME



Well, it looks as though we are destined to move in the cold. Andrew has been working his butt off to get this done. He has had to be carpenter, plumber, electrician and designer on this job. I will move in a blizzard to get into this house. The floor is done, most of the plumbing is done, the electric is in, most of the sheetrock is up. Ian's room is ready for painting and decorating. The rumor is that we will be hosting Thanksgiving here, but I don't see how. One thing about Andrew is that he has a tendency to get things done in the 11th hour. I love this house. I love the proximity to the nature around us and how close we are to Ian's grandparents. Every time I go to check on progress, I cry a little. My husband has built this house for us. Granted, he has had some help, but, mostly, he is there, alone, trying to get this done. For that, I am grateful. Thank you Bryan, Gene, Conlon, Tim, Nancy and Henry and everyone else for helping us get this far. My next post will be when we have moved in. In the meantime, I will be busy packing.
Big Love,
Sarah
