A House is...

a House for  Me US!  Remember that great children's book?  My favorite thing about teaching is reading picture books to kids.  With every lesson I teach I always read a book or two (or 10) to help the kids better understand the objective of the lesson.  I love children's books!  Ugh...time to go back to the classroom. 

A house is a house for us....we (Sever works a lot harder then I) have been working really hard on the house.  Sever has all the plumbing roughed in and the electrical will be roughed in today.  It has been fun (yes, fun) to see the whole house building process.  Yesterday I spent an hour telling Sever exactly where I want the cans to go (for recessed lighting) in my kitchen...but really, who knows how bright it will be when we move in.  It is the little things like that where you really hope you are making good decisions.

In other news...our cabinets have been ordered.  After much thought, I went with an antique white color...wood finish is so over rated :)  Well really my logic was that I would want darker cabinets and here in Alaska I don't think that is a great choice.  I want to brighten up things as much as possible because Lord knows that in December we only see the light for a few short hours. 

I am off to the tile place this morning to pick out flooring and counter tops....wish me luck as this is where the battle begins.
