building your own house is a marathon....

and we've been sprinting for too long.

we love our house, don't get us wrong. but, we're over it. we're TIRED. we're ready for sheetrock and floors and paint. we're ready for the AC to be running. we're ready for it to be finished. i hope you're laughing at us about now, because at this rate, it will be 2010 before we're done.

so if you only look at the blog for photos, you'll be disappointed today. there are none. i spent most of the weekend packing at our current house. my mom came to town to help (this was scheduled to be the move in weekend... one of the many deadlines we've missed.) so i took advantage of her help and got busy. we got a lot done, which is good considering we're out of the town for the next two weekends and are scheduled to move in july 5 (we hope).

robby continued working hard at the house... cursing every time i walked in because i seem to always find something else for him to fix. (my perfectionist streak has been hard on robby). really, for real, this week there will be sheetrock. they might not start hanging until saturday when we're gone, but it will start this week. we should also get the glass set for the fixed upper windows (kitchen and bathroom) this week, too. and hopefully pass all of our inspections... electrical, framing and insulation. keep your fingers crossed!

once there's something new and fun to see, i'll take photos and post it. but until then.... we're still working. you can count on that.
