Progress

The house continues to change as each week goes by. Things seem to be taking a bit longer than we hoped and hiccups come up along the way; but, overall, we are still pleased with the progress and the changes we make to the house as we start to see it in real life instead of on paper.

Summer finally seemed to start today – July 24^th! The rain and cooler weather has been appreciated after last year’s fires, but it would be nice not to run the heaters at night in July… but that’s what we get living at almost 5000 ft elevation I guess, not that I’m complaining J

The summer is going by much too quickly but Jason has next week off, so it will be nice to get some things done and enjoy the weather if it stays.

And I just have to throw in a picture of our kittens!

Wishing you all a great summer!

Community

We continue to meet new neighbors and grow our relationships out here. It has been great having so many neighbors be our trade workers on the house. What an awesome neighborhood!

Trinity and Eden had their first successful market with people from our community. They even made the newspaper! Check it out on-line at http://www.osoyoostimes.com/anarchist-mountain-community-holds-successful-market-on-the-mountain/. I’ve also been attending a women’s Bible Study group on the mountain to connect with the ladies in the area and to dig deeper in my own relationship with God. It has been nice to do something for myself again.

During these cooler days the interior walls have come up and the loft flooring has begun on the house. We’re hoping to see some big changes this week!

This weekend, Jason and I even got back to the “shed” and started siding it. It’s going to look so much better once we’re done!

Three new additions have been added to our family. Dean, Joe, and Scrat joined our family Wednesday and are just hilarious to watch and play with.

The bunnies continue to grow and love the green grass and clover that the rain brings.

Grateful for God's daily blessings of this beautiful place, growing friendships, and His love.

Little by little

Floors laid, walls raised, we begin to see more changes. Rooms beginning to be defined, views seen through window holes, we continue to enjoy what each day brings.

Again, we go through making decisions, only to change them days later. The Lord guides us, teaches us, and changes us, even in this. No part of our journey is left empty of Him. He is with us, always.
