May 30, 2009: Wish I Didn’t Miss You Anymore…

May 29th, 2009

I love that song. 🙂

Ho hum – long few weeks behind us. Building a house is very exciting. It is also full of a thousand decisions. I am not the best at making all these decisions on colors, matching tile, and a hundred other type choices. 🙂 Thankfully we have several people that are helping. I think I would literally go nuts trying to decide all of this by myself. I normally know what I don’t like, but the problem becomes what do you like. 🙂 Julie warned me about this subject! She said there would be more decisions than I could ever imagine.

It is all fun and exciting, though. Just a bit stressful. Trying to remember to live in the moment. That is easier said than done. You are always thinking about tomorrow – finishing the house – finishing school – and on it goes. So, just trying to remind myself to enjoy the moment we are in and not think about tomorrows homework, tomorrows tests, the next decision that has to be made. 🙂

On that note – I will be glad when school is finished and we move into the house. I have said for awhile that I don’t really know what I will do once all of that is finished. I have also said that I know what I WON’T be doing. I won’t be spending so much time on the computer and being home. With no homework and with the house project finished I definitely want to travel some more. Explore some areas of the United States. Get more into photography – which I LOVE, but have had little chance to really spend a lot of time learning anything about the camera itself. So, I would like to spend some time doing that.

Hopefully we will hear from David once we finish the house or get closer to that point. Missing him and everyone else in Canada. We all seem so far away right now. Which I guess we are. One group or the other needs to come for a visit.

Missing photography lately – I picked some of my favorite photos that I took over the last couple of years.

May 29, 2009: Up at the farm

May 29th, 2009

Lot of work going on up at the house. Looks like the front porch and deck is coming along nicely. Tommy’s crew is working on the electric. Installing lights, wiring, outlets – all of that good stuff. Everything is looking great. Can’t wait to see the finished product. We are several months away from that. 🙂 Fall perhaps?

Cloudy today. Wish the sun would come out. We need sunshine!!!!

The propane tank was delivered this morning. This will be buried in the ground. We will then run the propane to the whole house generator. This should keep us up and running during severe weather. That is the plan at least!

Some photos from today –
