Chillyness

I was excited that we were getting some cooler temps today after a week of humid hotness in our no a/c house. But it’s a little too chilly! We are starting our morning snuggled under blankets- at least until we have to head to the dentist.

My hot coffee is tasting pretty good right now.

Andy I spent the weekend going through our stuff that is in storage. The movers did a horrible job packing the stuff in there. Boxes that were clearly marked “fragile” were getting smashed under the weight of heavier boxes. We only got about half way through the stuff. I was able to locate a few key things, a missing guitar and my photo printer.

These pictures have nothing to do with moving boxes. But that’s the way it goes.

We were supposed to have our final drawings from the architect last week, but then he called and said he needed four more days, which meant today. Well he called last night and said his computer crashed and he won’t even get it back to start our drawings until maybe today. it’s frustrating that we have to have those done first, in order to then get construction drawings, in order to get bids from contractors, in order to go to the bank to get the loan. Our goal was to have the roof off in June- and now that is not going to happen and my fear is that summer is going to slip by and we are not going to get anything done. I really wanted the house framed back up by the time school starts. With the goal of having it all done by Christmas. Not gonna happen.

So I pulled out my photo printer and my project life stuff and I am gonna try to document the process of this whole house remodel to take my mind off the frustrating slowness of it. It will all be worth it I know.

In the meantime I am planning some fun trips with friends, and a month full of birthdays!

Hope your summer is off to a great start!

    Ugh, I hate having to wait for ANYTHING! So I know this whole process sucks! But I do know one thing and that is I WANT that bathing suit!! I LOVE Hello Kitty!

    Oh my goodness – Miss Eva in a leopard print Hello Kitty swimsuit! Does it get any cuter or sassier? 😉 Sorry about the movers – it stinks when people you are paying to take care of your stuff are so careless! Also, love the idea of documenting the build process. Can’t wait to see more pics!

    Her little smiling face is just what I need on a chilly Monday.

    It’s been cool here too…I don’t mind the thought of a mild Summer, but it makes me worry about a terrible winter.

    I am not a patient person. I would be mad and crazy by now.

    Looking forward to those trips girl! I always feel like when things go slower than I want there is something better waiting for me on the other end than I had planned myself….chin up:)

    We’re having cooler weather in our part of the country too. I have to remind myself that it is still spring. It will fun for you to see progress with your house remodel. Good things come to those who wait (one of my grandma’s sayings).
