Today's the last day of June. Wow. This month has gone by very quickly.
Jay, Tim, Gaylord, and Scott finished putting on our new roof last night. It looks super. There is an electrician working today on installing outlets and lights in the new room. It is really coming together. It will be SO nice when it's complete.
Thankfully, it hasn't been too warm - so I haven't missed our A/C very much.
So far I'm meeting my stated goals for the "summer of the addition" listed in no particular order:
1. Stay married
2. Get addition done
3. Afford addition
4. Play golf
We are extremely blessed.

It's a gorgeous Friday. I'm at work - although I wish that I wasn't.
We - along with much help from many friends - are re-roofing our "old" house over the weekend. And putting the first roof on the new addition. It's very exciting. I feel extremely blessed.
The Boo finished his 2nd week of summer school yesterday. He seems to be thriving with so much one-on-one attention. I am so thankful that he's really learning to read. He also counted to 100 by tens and by fives for me last night.
The Peanut spent much of the day yesterday dancing in her room. She's only 2 weeks from turing 10. Yikes. She is SO pre-teen.

Back at work today. It was really nice to be home for 4 days.
Mom and I played "o.k." yesterday in the last round of the State Four Ball tournament. About the same as on Monday. It was a beautiful day out. And Tim and the kids came out to the course to watch Mom and I play. I want them to be exposed to the game of golf - if nothing else.
I almost had a hole in one yesterday. On the 8th hole, I hit my heaven wood to 10 inches from the cup. I actually hit it as I wanted and it turned out as I imagined (WOW!). I need to remember shots like that - as they are few and far between.
The house project continues to move right along. The siding is complete on the east, south and western sides of our home. The new room has ceiling beams... We are awaiting the power company to bury the lines - hopefully they will be motivated to show up in the next couple of days. Now, the wires are propped up through the roof of the new room. And yesterday, the HVAC guy cut our phone line... So we are on cells until the new lines can be installed and buried.
The adventure continues. I'm so thankful that so much progress has been made. At the current pace, we should be done early (cross the fingers).

Today I played golf with Mom in the State Four Ball tourney. We shot a 76. I shot a 82 and she shot a 81 - thanks to her new driver.
I came home ~1PM to see much progress being made on the new addition and siding. The eastern side of the house is all done and I like the siding on the house even better than the samples. And the new windows are amazing.
Yesterday, Peanut and I wrote Bible verses on the plywood floor of the addition. We wrote "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." "To live is Christ and to die is gain." "For God so loved the world..." and my favorite verse, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, angels nor demons, ... can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." No one will probably see the writing... But it was cool to "bless" the new version of our home. It is undergoing quite the transformation.
