a little bit further...

I have a feeling that now that the house has been started I am going to be out there all the time! I am finding myself thinking about it during the day and wondering, how far they have gotten today?? I am going to have to restrain myself... We did go out last night and they had most of the brick laid around the foundation. It shouldn't be too long before the walls start going up!! They are currently building a few other homes like ours which are slated to finish mid June. Those homes have their roofs completed and are getting windows already. Ours has a completion date on the contract of June 30, so hopefully ours will catch up to the others in no time.

Pete is working on his power of Attorney and Will today. Because his chances of deploying to Afghanistan are now very high (about 98%) we are trying to prepare ourselves. If he leaves in April or early May he will not be here when we move into the new house. I keep telling myself that I have moved with him away before and everything was OK, but that was before Kennedy.... this time will be very different!! Hopefully we can get everything in order for the move before he leaves. They are supposed to get a leave block starting on Monday, we still haven't decided what we want to do. We have a few options, we can go to Toledo for a few days; take a mini vacation (maybe D.C or Myrtle Beach), or just stay around here and take small day trips (NC Zoo maybe?). I guess we will have to think about it a little more.
