[January 2019]
We took a mini-roadtrip to Menards one weeknight to scoop up a ton of can lights...
...and
then Brian was back at the house bright and early the next weekend to
begin installing them all! The girls and I were grateful for a little
bit of sunshine and warm[ish] weather so we could enjoy the outdoors
while Daddy worked the day away. [Februrary 2019]
Throughout February, there was plenty of construction to be done on the front porch......and the [future] fireplace...
...and, well, everywhere, actually!
One
evening, we took a very rare opportunity to go on a date and look at
lights and pick out paint colors and hash out the ins and outs of
allllll the finishing touches. Drink, is drinking, drank, has drunjk
[see what I did there?!]... Jay to the kay, but really, I [and our
marriage!] am so grateful for an occasional kid-free evening amidst all
this craziness to argue over past perfect participles and paint colors!
Beige or grey or maybe just greige...? All I know is:
#moremargaritasplease!

^^
As the winter weather permits, the kids are always eager to get to the
house and "help Daddy" -- but they mostly just enjoy playing in the
construction mess while he works!
And
finally...*drumrollllll*... March 1 showed its beautiful face and the
veryyyyy long and tedious job of electrical wiring began!
We
are so thankful for Brian's dedication; I really can't even believe he
wanted to build us a freaking HOUSE from ground up, but he took on the
challenge like a boss and is knocking out projects left and right like a
champ. It's even crazier to think that someday -- and not toooo far
off -- we'll be moving into this shack!
Wahhh! :o
Stay tuned for more "pretty progress" in the next couple of months!
