Getting Closer!!

We have the roof done and just a few more pieces of siding/trim left. Hopefully the garage door will be in soon!

I learned how to drive the dump truck on my birthday, exciting I know, so I was able to bring 14 loads of gravel over. I dumped every load! I felt pretty cool and still do :)

Tuesday we are starting to lay block for the basement in the house!

Progress has been made!

AJ had to dig 25 holes for the poles to go in for the pole building

This was a little hard getting the corner poles all situated



Nothin like good family bonding!
We have all the rafters up and almost all the roof on. We are getting close for the metal siding.

This week the electrical box got put in

AJ and a couple friends have been busy digging the basment for our house! Hooray!
We have had some changes in plans. We aren't going to live in the pole building anymore. We would have had to put another septic in and that was just going to be expensive. So instead of waiting to finish the basement, we are going to do that right away. We will then live in the basement while we are working on finishing the rest of house. Our goal is to be in the basement by the end of September!

Mrs. Katie Peacock!!

My best friend, Katie, got married on May 22nd. AJ and I drove down to Texas Thursday and got back Sunday. It was a fast but fun trip! Katie was such a gorgeous bride! Here are a few pictures to recap the bachelorette party at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar in downtown Fort Worth and the wedding.









I can't move this video up, but I had to share this :)

New Class!

I decided to take a new position for next year! Really I will be teaching the same type of class: special needs on the more severe end. Now I am teaching grades 4 - 6 but next year I will have grades K - 2. Instead of just 8 this year, it's looking more like 12 for next year! I am staying at my same school and everything. I am excited about this change. I have always wanted to work with the younger kids, and since a teacher is retiring at my school I had the opportunity to change. I wasn't really feelin like changing rooms again ( I had to move across the hall for this year) but I know it will be worth it. I will even have carpet so I am excited about that!
Lots of fun things are happening right now with house stuff starting. It will for sure be a busy summer preparing for my class next year, helping AJ mow, and building a house:)
