Limbo...

We are entering week 11 of the strike.  This was not something we saw extending much past a month/month and a half.  It's been stressful, but like every other storm we have weathered- we are making it.   Negotiations continue, and we are hopeful that they will come to an agreement very soon. He should be hearing about an interview with another company next week- we are definately not going to be sitting around waiting for the next strike in four years...

In the meantime we have been working on small projects around the tiny tudor as well as contract jobs for some of my clients.  Travis has been hard at work in his workshop...

The laundry room wall is tiled and we are calling this project finished...

Spring has made for a lovely courtyard garden...

As soon as the strike is called off we will have two weeks before Travis returns to work.  I think we are going to take advantage of the time and go ahead and start revamping our atrium.   French doors are going to be added to the atrium room leading to the little atrium outside, and we are still debating what to do in the atrium itself.  Right now it's a half and half hot mess of tile and dying grass...

Funny story behind that rock- it's a POND.  Yes, underneath there is a pond.  

I've started a new part time job.  I really can't give the specifics out yet, but I am very excited about the possibilities this may have and the opportunity to combine my love of learning, children, organization, creativity, and design.  I am giving it a test run for 2-3 weeks to see where it may go...


Thank you for all of your emails and messages about Hunter.  We are waiting on the return of health insurance to run all the needed tests.  Until then, he is busy with learning and just being a happy kid.

Have a great week...
