We started building on Saturday, July 30th, 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. WOW. It wasn't too hot, I felt like I was helping and being productive and I actually had some fun! I took down measurements, measured and then cut the wood. I learned new terms for supplies and I even tried the saw and nail gun (go me). I was surprised how much I would like seeing the process of a house being built. We didn't start on our house Saturday, we will be framing the Lewis house and the Palmer's house first then ours is next :) Tonight we will be putting on window wells and getting the garage ready so they can pour our garage floor. Its exciting, I just hope these next 9 (hopefully ONLY 9) months go by quick and that we all don't kill each other in the process. Poor Chloe is going to be practically parentless- thank goodness our parents are all so willing to help watch her so she isn't cooped up in my apartment all day long by herself. Our schedule is Tuesday-Thursday 4:00-9:00 and then Saturday 7-7 (long day). We worked yesterday and by the time I got home all i wanted to do was watch Shark Week and Teen Mom and OF COURSE my Dish got disconnected from the power and wouldn't work at all :( I must be gluten for punishment or something. Well anyway, here are some pictures of the process we've seen so far.

And what I'm MOST excited for when the house is done.
These are the VERY dark cabinents we picked and I fell in love with them.
