Because I promised...

I don't know how much time I have to write this post, because both boys are down for a nap. They are having what I call a tag team day, one wakes up, just as the other falls asleep, it forces me to accomplish none of the "things" I have to do. I did mention to pack one box while I was waiting for Zach to fall asleep, and I am sure if I rush really fast, I might be able to get at least 2 or 3 more boxes packed before Matt wakes up. But last week I did say I would write about the house, and I never did. I will say at least it is a structure now, so that is promising. We will be out of our house sometime in the next ten days, and I am doing my best to make life as normal as possible as we pack things up. They are long days, days I wish I could fast forward through, and yet I know looking back they will be memories I cherish. I am so fortunate that I get to go home again, and in many ways am looking forward to spending quality time with my Mom in the weeks we wait for our house to be built. I just hope the boys transition well, and that all of our potty-training success doesn't backslide, in the weeks ahead.

I just remind myself that I am a lucky girl.

I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful and healthy sons, a family that would walk through fire for me, and an opportunity to build my dream home. As stressful as the days ahead seem, I am practically walking on air thinking of what our future holds.

Here is a sneak peak at our house in one of its "rough" stages:

The house has come a far way since then. I will post a pic of what it looks like now in a few days. I also need to post some pics of the new addition to our family, my puppy niece Bella, but she deserves her own post, which I will try to write in the coming days.
