It seems as though some of my pictures weren’t cooperating for people in the last post, so in an effort to fix it I’m splitting the post into two parts to see if that makes a difference.

Anyway, down to the progress on the house! Jeff added the eaves and...

I’ve been getting back into yoga. A few weeks back I made a commitment to myself to do it every day, even if it’s for a short minute before I crawl into bed. So far I’ve only missed a couple of days, when I just had zero time to...

I left off with the gable walls being framed and the temporary floor put up over the living room on top of the beams. Here’s what’s happened in the last week or so:

Jeff and I got to work last Thursday evening on framing the roof. It started with the...

We are actually doing an okay job maintaining some sense of balance so far during this crazy summer. We are sore and tired a lot, but we are still smiling at each other and connected, so I’m calling it a win so far. I’ve found I’m less inclined to...

One week has gone by since my last post, and it’s hard to believe how much has changed in that time. This whole kit-house thing has been amazing in that regard. So much of the guess work and the head scratching (although I won’t say there hasn’t been any…)...

Jeff has been up early to work on the house the past few days, often for 12+ hours, and so we’ve been finding little ways to connect and stay grounded. It’s nice that the sun rises so early these days. We’ve started a new ritual of a morning coffee...

We are building a house! For real! We’ve gotten all the way to the framing portion of house building. Jeff is taking off work until the 10th of July (starting tomorrow!), and I’m taking a little time off of market/deliveries to focus on supporting the whole process. As time...

Here’s the quick and dirty update, because if I don’t get it out there it’ll all be so backed up I won’t cover it.

End of April:

Vera and I and my mom went to Monterey, MA for a few days to celebrate...

I haven’t talked much about my healing from my brain injury 2.5 years ago, but I’d like to make a dedicated post at some point. I continue to learn through my healing, but I wanted to touch on one concept today. Every time I go into my doc’s office...
