Bottom picture is the front of my house. Top picture is of the side with the garage. Sarah, that's your bedroom window you see :)

Andy (the builder) says he'll finish sheeting it today and will move on to the shingles next week :)

RAFTERS!

I drove out to Allison's last night and could hardly believe my eyes. My house has rafters and is looking like an actual house now!! Yay!

It's hard to let go of a dream even when you're reaching towards a new dream.
I sold my condo today for full asking price, cash deal and we aren't closing until November first. A perfect deal for me. My new house is due to be done sometime in November so if I have to live with Allison and Karter for awhile, it won't get too long for any of us.

I remember 10 years ago when Jim and I were in the process of having this place built. We were so happy, I think it was the happiest time in our marriage. It was perfect for the two of us. However because Jim isn't here anymore and I've added Stella to my life, it isn't really the perfect place for me anymore. That makes me sad.

I think I've come to a place in my grieving process that I have to let go of this one last thing. It's sucks.

At the same time I'm excited about moving forward and planning and picking out things for the new house. I'm most excited for Stella to have her own yard to RLH in.

Progress

Digging is done, footings are in and concrete has been poured :) Floor trusses have arrived and I picked out my new front door and my bathtub :)
