Updates in no particular order

Mud. Squishy oozy black mud was everywhere I turned last week. Our new house in particular was a mudhole! We've got frozen ground and snow again, but the mud was fun for a while. A little glimmer of hope in this Iowa winter. Spring is coming it whispered.
Dry wall. The carpenters got dry wall up in the entire house and the garage last week! I tell you these guys are awesome! This pic in the garage was just cool because the light was shining in through the window so prettily.
Cardboard and rosen paper now covers the floor in preparation for the taping and mudding to come. Of course, we ordered the doors and trim this week so the staining must start, too!! It all looks soo close, but in reality I think there is a lot of work left to do. I can't wait to see how great it's all going to look, though!


Oh yeah, my Valentine bought me this really awesome purple, poufy, soft, shiny coat for Valentine's day just because I texted him that I "needed" it!! Isn't he great?!!

House looks great Stacey! I love the jacket too. I am sure you're toasty in it.

Running lately? I tried to do 3 yesterday and never felt so exhausted. I signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon in Oct. Oh boy. I can't let my mind know what's coming...
