True Love

Today Keal and I spent all afternoon and evening working together - it was wonderful! We have started a new project in our backyard - we are adding a covered roof to our back porch, extending the porch, and adding a fire pit. Today, we climbed up on the roof and hammered in a few extra nails. Once the roof was complete, we nailed a tarp down too! Slowly but surely it is coming together! It'll be a long project, but we are excited to enjoy it once it's finished. You will soon learn that we just love to spend spring, summer, and fall evenings (okay, nearly all year round!) out on the porch grilling and eating dinner. I am excited for you to join us in these meals....especially since we will have a shaded area for you to be happy under!

making progress!

I called this post true love because the major part of our evening was spent in the garage. Keal built six bookshelves for me and my classroom. I have been hinting at this for quite some time now, but I was still amazed that he would give up his entire evening to build shelves for my classroom! It was fun working side by side with him in the garage and neat to see the shelves come together (he is such a perfectionist, which means the shelves turned out beautifully!). They will look great in my classroom....another place I can't wait to bring you! I adore teaching and I look forward to all I have to teach you in this life. I look forward to bringing you up to the school in the summer and setting up my classroom with you.

hard at work!

a wonderful evening together!

There is so much waiting for you in this world and I can't wait to share it with you. But until then, I will continue rejoicing in our journey to you and continue enjoying all we experience along the way to you!
