Phew...

The quarter is over and I managed to turn everything in.  I feel so much better. My next quarter should be my last and I won't have to go to class anymore. My celebration is a bit premature, but I'm happy nonetheless. I will be working on my comprehensive exams for the next few months. The trick will be to prepare now so that once I actually have the questions the writing will be much easier. Once I've been given the questions I usually have only two weeks to write 50 plus pages of graduate level analysis. It will be interesting to do that and try and work full-time. I'm not too worried though because I know it can be done.

I love all of you very much. Thank you for all your support.

Latest updates. We have interior doors now

I was hoping that these colors would show up better. We like the red (Shaker Red) for the body of the house and the white (Plymoth Beige) for the trim. What we can't decide is the gable color. the one on the left is called Britches and is a little bit lighter than the one on the right, which is called Wooly Thyme. Does anyone want to give us their two cents?
Love you all. Sorry I have been dominating the blog with house stuff.
