Moving Right Along

Everyday we get a little bit closer to finishing our new addition. It is not easy living with the dirt and dust of a construction site, but I am being patient, something my father taught me a long time ago. He said, "The best place to practice learning patience is in the checkout line at the grocery store, getting impatient isn't going to make the line move any quicker, and that is how life is, you can't make things happen faster than they already are, so just sit tight and wait it out."
He is a wise man in a burnt out hippie man's body, but looks can be deceiving, for there are many a wise man quote that ring through my ears daily thanks to him.

Getting back on track here, yesterday they poured half of the roof, which means we are 1/4 of the way finished. I am not sure if they have begun using these types of methods there in the US, but we have chosen to use styrofoam bricks for the roof, making it much lighter and more insulated at the same time.

I can hardly wait to get to the good part, the decoration!
In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the most recent progress.

Another highlight of this weeks past is that we have found Jalapenos!!!!
I thought I was going to cry when, casually walking down the street, we discovered a small hole in the wall with imported can goods from Mexico.
I have eaten so many in the last few days that I suffered sever heart burn nearly all day yesterday, but it was so dang worth it!
