House on the Hill

So, now it's summer at our house! Swimming, sleeping in (8am) and staying up late...

We've got more things coming our way including packing for the move and my event.
Yesterday I ordered all our marketing materials and I've got to get a timeline going so I can build up to our fall event. The kids and I are working through some Bible Study work books this summer and I love doing them with them. They are reading, answering questions and we're having good discussion. I also thought we could pack a few boxes a day to get ready for the move. I don't mind packing...until the very end when you can't decide what you're going to use in the next 24 hours, etc. And then there's all the loose stuff...that doesn't fit in boxes. OK, maybe packing isn't fun, but I'm hoping to get some done every day now that we're done hosting major events like bridal brunches and life groups in our home.

The stone layers have finally arrived on the Hill. The stone and brick have been on the property long enough that we'll probably always have marks where they were stacked! I'm thankful they are there and I won't say one word about their work because I just want it up! Richard will probably be the liaison with those guys.

Today they are starting to lay flooring, most of the painting has been done, and the cabinet doors are on their way. The island in the kitchen is going to be huge and the cabinet maker is on his way over now so I can "OK" the stain. I've got one paint color I'm questioning, it's pretty, but it's blue. I thought it was more green. So many decisions, none of them life-changing!
