Antsy pants

I am feeling very antsy today!
This sunday will be our 1 year wedding anniversary : ) We didn't know what we were going to do because we are on a budget. This morning I called the hotel we stayed at our wedding night (Tides Inn Hotel in Port Townsend). Suprisingly they give a good special for Sunday nights so we were able to book the same room. I can not wait! It will be hard to leave the puppies at home but I am really looking forward to our mini vacation. We are planning on hiking arond the Fort and visit our ceremony site as well as reception hall. We haven't been back since the wedding.

This saturday we are going to Justins Aunt and Uncles for his Grandpas 80th birthday celebration. We have a very busy weekend ahead!

I am also getting really antsy about our house! It has been 7 1/2 weeks since we "broke ground". If we only do our minimum hours then it is going to take forever! We need more hours in the day so that we can put in more hours! As of now our house has the excavation (digging, dirt moving, leveling) complete, as well as the foundation. Today and tomorrow the floors are being set and then the walls will go up shortly after. We really want to be done by Christmas but we need more volunteers!

Ready for the flooring : )

YIPPIE!!!!

We just received our lumber for the flooring on Friday (July 23rd). We will being laying the floor this coming week and then the walls will be shortly after. Time flies when your having fun : ) Can not wait to live in our home.

Foundation

Our foundation was poured last Tuesday (July 6th 2010). We haven't had a chance to work on our house at all but we have already put up the walls, inside framing, second story framing and today the roof framing is going up on someone else's home in our group. We are supposed to do "step by step" on everyones house but since we have been putting in so many hours, we have gotten really far on Cindys house. We have to wait for the rest of the foundation to be finished before we get to start on our house.

We should be able to start working on our house in the next few weeks but it just depends on what work is ready to be done. According to our supervisor, we are ahead of schedule, which is always awesome : )

almost a year..

In a few weeks it will be our 1 year wedding
anniversary. We plan on going to Fort Worden (where we got married) and camp. I can not wait to go back there. We haven't gone back at all this past year. It will be fun but a little sad to think that its all over. It was so magical and so special, I just wish we could do it all over again.

It is so weird to celebrate "1 year" when this
Christmas it will be 10 years together.
