It was GORGEOUS Sunday (January 31), so Dals and I decided to go run around (well Dally ran - no exercise for me!) and we looked at our progress. Ben now can finally "picture" what our house will look like (even though we walked through this exact house when we were picking out floor plans) which is making him FINALLY get excited about this decision. I have been excited from day 1, but it's now become a different kind of excitement for me. I'm excited to eventually bring home our babies to this house. I'm excited for beautiful mornings spent chatting with friends, drinking coffee, overlooking our beautiful view from the deck. I'm excited for family gatherings around our 10 foot table built by my father and mother's own hands. I'm excited for BBQ's with friends. I'm excited to BUILD our life out there.

So story about me laying on my back to take this picture of the overhead rafters.
I may have laid on our "floors" and stared up through the rafters. I pondered life a bit in the quiet of the country. My thoughts: What a beautiful life God provides for us - the ups, downs, mundane, exciting, terrible, wonderful, beautiful life He provides.

| Dals is very curious and checks EVERYTHING out |

| See that sawdust in the middle, left-hand side of this photo - yes, Dally marked her territory already. |
