Happy New Year!

BJ and I have had a great holiday! We were able to see Tim and Erin last weekend - we miss them a lot and wish we could hang out more often! Here's Tim and Erin with the friendly zoo elephants!



Here's some cold zoo monkeys...



Currently BJ and I are visiting my (Jessie's) parents in Granger Indiana. We went bowling the other night with everyone and it was a lot of fun. We have photos of that crazy event and other Christmas happenings to come soon! In the meantime, here's a couple house photos to hold you over! :)

Windows... and a Purdue Loss...

BJ and I took off for Indy this weekend to see Purdue in a stressful game against Butler. It was sooo close! Here's a shot of the court when we were winning...


Also, we have some windows! Here's the latest...



We were so glad to be able to visit with Chris and Chrissy this weekend! This afternoon we went out for some O'Charleys, gave a tour of the land/house, and spent some time just hanging out at and driving the cats crazy with the lazer pointer. :) It was so good to see them!

We Knew it Would be Fast!

We have floor number two! We got all this in just 5 days! It's been so crazy to see our house all of a sudden there! Thank goodness for wonderful weather!

So sleeeepppppyyyy....

Saw this on CuteOverload and thought I'd spread the joy...

Much progress made, despite the rain...

At 8:45am this morning...



At 5:30pm this evening...



We have a first floor!

Update!

So BJ was heading to bed last night around 2am... from the yard he heard a mysterious thump and a car speeding off into the night.... and the dear was gone!

The Cold Has Come!

Okay, so its officially cold. I should be used to it (coming from 'the bend') but I'm really just a big baby!! In other news... BJ and I went off to work this morning only to discover a dead dear in our front yard! Ew. And, :( for the dear. The county told BJ's mom that we just have to let it decay! What in the world?! Again, ew.

Yesterday BJ took a trip out to see the house progress - not much has changed. They did move the dirt a bit, get the groundwork laid for our driveway, and pour the basement floor. All of which doesn't look too exciting but here's a picture anyway...



It's about 7:30 now and I just talked to BJ - he's still at work getting in some overtime (so far he's been there for 12 1/2 hours and counting!). A bunch of his friends are all there as well, so hopefully it's not too painful. He's says he's working on paying for an upgrade in insulation (the best time to convince us to get a warmer house is right now) and another window (a transom above our front door). What a good hubby! :)
