Just Loving Life

The title is a direct quote from my amazing husband Phil. Made just now, at 11:15 pm. Yes, it was with a bit of sarcasm. Why?
Because he is digging a ditch. Yes, at 11:15 pm. We are in the final phase of construction. A lot of exciting things are happening: cabinets have been installed, tile has started to go in and the house is (mostly) painted. More posts will follow with more pictures.  
But right now, in spite of his sarcasm, we really are enjoying life. Maybe not loving the 14-18 hour days and consequent dreadful lack of sleep, but I can't help but reflect on the many blessings of the day and past weeks. We worked side by side with our parents laying tile and have had many friends sacrifice their time to help us along this journey.  My mom lovingly tucks my children in at night when I can't be there.
These wonderful blessings are compounded by the excited smiles of our children as their rooms come together and the way Phil still makes my heart overflow when he looks at me. Yes, I am definitely loving life.
