He said "What are you going to do when you are done with those books?" she said "talk to you again."

The painter's officially had their last day last Wednesday! (To view larger photo's scroll to the end) This morning Mark was playing frisbee with the dogs and I was getting ready to leave. He turned with a huge smile and said look at how happy we are! I think it's the week off of having to come home from work to start working on the house more than anything. But it is good! The stucco has been added around the doors - so we will paint that this summer. Mark ordered the gutters to arrive today so he can install this weekend. Once the gutter's are on we will take down the scaffolding that has been up since June. That should make the neighbor's happy! I have been completely useless with this Twilight book series that I'm reading. Maybe that's why "we" are so happy right now?! All in all the house is buttoned up well and we are enjoying coming home to it. Soon it's on to the interior!

The house looks awesome! I have to take the blame for Lindy's reading addiction but really, she would have started them sooner or later.

Ha! I was also obsessed with the Twilight books! Are you going to see the movie this weekend? I'm sure it will be crowded with a million 13 year olds, but I'm planning to go anyway.

Speaking of books, you have to read ALL THE WAY HOME: BUILDING A FAMILY IN A FALLING-DOWN HOUSE by David Giffels. It hits a little close to home for the Stankeys...
