Hello all devoted Miller Minute followers. I must apologize (AGAIN) for my 2 month blogging vacation. Summer vacation has started and I will try to be much better at keeping you up to date with the happenings around our hitching post.
The building of our house has been moving along nicely. Although the below pictures do not demonstrate all the work that goes into each step, it will at least give you a good idea of where we are at in the process. As of 6/19, several of the windows have been installed. I plan to take pics this weekend and post them next week. It's amazing how much excitement can come from a pane of glass. I have finalized our entire kitchen (cabinets, counter tops, etc.) and spent yesterday morning picking out our plumbing fixtures. I am trying to find a nice hardwood floor to compliment our hickory cabinets, and that has been the toughest part thus far.
Bryan is pretty much "out" of the this process, as he is focusing completely on trying to build the house. He trusts my decisions, but I'm not sure he'll be happy when he finds out I ordered a Disco Ball for our bedroom! I don't remember being so overwhelmed with decisions with our last house, but that could have been because I was just so tickled to be building a house of our own...or I was too young to really have opinions. Regardless, this time around is a bit more complicated, but I do feel blessed to have this opportunity again.
Bryan's dad was nice enough to loan us his 33 foot camper trailer for the summer. We have it set up at the land and its a great convenience, as Carter can nap, and as my projects build, it will be great to spend more time out there. We will probably spend a few nights camping out there as well. Campfires and s'mores are a few things we CANNOT live without in the Miller house.
Enjoy the pictures, and I promise, there will be more to come.
