progress and a peel
Friday, February 10, 2012 at 6:12AM 
we've had lots of rain lately.
crazy droughts all over texas... and now... it seems like it rains every other day.
crazzzzy!
the earth needs though no doubt.
good thing the builder has been great at squeezing in progress on those dry days.
i think i last shared when they cleared some trees from the lot.
we now have a slab and the framing has started!
yEs!
it was a big day... at least it felt like that to me... when the cement trucks rolled in.
i think i could have stayed there all day and watched... really!
it was like all that wait... all those delays... were about to be squashed.
bye bye.
walking on the slab...
first..
it looked tiny... "how in the world is this right"?
ha!
of course it is.
such an odd perspective though... how your eyes see it.
second...
it felt awesome!
after school yesterday we got to walk through some of the rooms.
she was all smiles... "so my bed will be here?".
and i kid you not...
in the garage... this caught our eye.
part of a clementine... a peel discarded by a worker.
i can imagine... if they even noticed...
they must have thought i was nuts... taking a darn picture of a fruit peel!
when i see a symbol of hope... no matter the matter... it's just that...
a little token.
what some would say... silly... i say... it's a gift of fun... a nod of hope.
i love those kind of surprises!
and this morning...
it's raining.
oh boy.
gonna remember that silly fruit remnent... it's all good.
it's going to happen.
in the end...
we'll have a bowl fiLLed with fresh clemnetines sitting on that kitchen island!
hoping today has you seeing little surprise gifts too.
hAppY fRidAy yaLL!

Big smiles for you as I look through your photos. What a wonderful "house diary" you'll have in the end! There's a place that turns your blog into a book...you should so do that (the house parts) right after you place that bowl of clementines on your counter. xoxo
So sweet! It's going fast girly! You'll be moving in, in no time.
So exciting! I would love to build some day. God has us here right now, though, and I'm great with that too! Enjoy the process... It's easy to get overwhelmed in the details. I'll enjoy too; vicariously. :) Happy weekend!
Simply wonderful, what a joy to watch this coming together for you guys :)
How exciting! And I love the little "heart" you found. So sweet and a definite omen for a home filled with love :)
Oh how wonderful. I can't wait to see that big bowl of clementines in your beautiful new kitchen. Keeping fingers crossed for no more delays.
How exciting and I feel your smiles just looking at the photos! Keep the pictures and progress coming our way! Thanks for sharing in your big dream!
