Summer is Closing

Summer is coming to an end, and as sad as we are to think about the rain and cold temperatures that may bring, we also can’t wait for the fall. With fall comes pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin beer, corn mazes….and so much more. And, to top it all off, our house is getting closer and closer!

Life has been busy but fun lately. I keep wondering why it doesn’t feel stressful, as we have lots going on with my classes coming to an end, Danny beginning the next quarter soon, and our jobs. But life is simply trucking along, and it is great- stress has just passed by. I think we have done so well at keeping things in perspective, and keeping our priorities in line. First and foremost, Danny and I, and our relationship come first. Whatever that means, and whatever it takes, we are first. We have always had this mind set and I think because of this, everything seems so easy. Even if work is demanding, or finances are being pulled, cars break down, or whatever, we place our relationship and time together as number one. Everything else can wait. If we are good, life is good. Whatever comes our way, we tackle it, brush it off and move on.

We are heading to Spokane for the weekend to attend a wedding of a good friend of mine, Andrea, from high school. I can't wait to see her and maybe others from high school. It will be a great time! Unfortunately we will not be there long and time with the family will be little, but we are gearing up for the annual, (a whole two years!), Schlaich family camping trip over Labor day weekend.

Within all of this, we have still managed to visit the house twice a week and are amazed how quickly things are coming together. We have a roof! And windows! And showers and tubs! Very exciting. Here are some more pictures:
