What A Week!

We had a pretty crazy but exciting week here. Tax season finally ended on Wednesday after three grueling days of last minute projects (goodbye 60+ hour weeks). That was quite the relief in itself, but to make the week even better, the concrete guys were busy at our place pouring basement walls! Yep, we have a basement. If it wasn't official before, it is now!

Dave and I drove out the lot on Friday afternoon and as we came around the corner to the development we saw this:


There's actually 4 concrete trucks there (one is hidden behind the others). We were ecstatic! So, of course we had to be those people who get out and gawk and take lots of pictures.

Yeah, I'm only posting two of the thousands of photos Dave took. Thank God for digital cameras.

The fact that we now have basement walls was quite the sight for us. We've owned this lot for so long and had this plan to build a house, but it was always just an empty lot and a plan. I think it hit both of us as we rounded that corner that this is really it. We're finally getting our house. Of couse the feelings went quickly from excitement to panic as I realized that I had a lot of decisions to be making SOON! But we'll deal with that. For the mean time we have walls!
