is this home, toto?

after church on sunday, we drove out to look at our house. we talked about how silly it was that we were even going because it would probably look the very same. the foundation had been poured and set and the framing was supposed to start on the 14th.

we turned the corner and were both very shocked to see our first floor framed out. it was so super exciting! we got out and walked through the house. it's amazing how small a house can look with only cement and a few 2 x 4's. how on earth do walls make a space look bigger?

anyway, we (ahem, michael) apparently had the date wrong. i think they may have said they would be finished framing by the 14th.

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

(isn't it weird sometimes how an incredibly normal word can look so incredibly weird? maybe it's because i've had kids read HOW in so many different ways today...scary. don't worry, it was during tutoring not during my regular class...:) )

yea-so i think time might start speeding up a little bit now that our house is actually starting to look like a house.

now, if i only had some red slippers. there's no place like home. there's no place like home.
