Living the Dream

Hello, everyone!!! Welcome back:) I'm such a big man!

Just a quick close up of the stone columns:)

Siding!!! And columns (minus the tops)--so cool!!!

I have to take a minute and thank the Lord for how he's blessing us with this home, because I was driving back from seeing the updates and it hit me that even if we moved in like it is now, we'd have more shelter and more of a house then most people in this world. We'll certainly not take this enormous blessing for granted.

Making progress! This is taken from the kitchen looking into the dining room/living room space. So looking forward to our fireplace!

As we're strolling along on one of the backstreets in Reidsville, we come upon this gem of a location--these rusty doors were perfect for a day trip photoshoot! We called it our Adam Barnes door and had to take advantage:)

The Big Man living the life...kicked back, strolling around town...

On one of our "off" weekends of no travel (aahhh) we decided to explore the little town of Reidsville. Here we are enjoying our cold treat on a very hot day at Mr. Kone's Ice Cream. In Reidsville, their slogan is "Live Simply. Think Big." Well, they're certainly living simply up there. As we walked thru the streets of downtown we tried to imagine what it must have been like during it's hay-day. All the shops seem to be frozen in that 60-70's time period. I hope they can persevere through their revitalization process. It will be a very cute little town when they do.

Mr. Cool just hanging out in the backyard--checking things out. We love going over to the house as a family on the weekends to dream and guess what they'll be working on next!

Now we're starting to actually look like a house:)
