Bob Marley said it best..Everything IS going to be all right. I can't get over how calm and relaxed I felt all weekend long. After a couple of weeks of stress and worry, I feel completely at ease. Our house is coming along, Cooper and the doggies are adapting to all the change amazingly (why was I
soooo worried about this???), Mark is home and we are all happy and healthy.
We moved into Cabin #2 (Afternoon Delight) this weekend. It's a little bit older than Cabin #1 (Brother Bear) but it was very easy to baby proof and the dogs have more room to frolic (translation: run off without bugging poor innocent vacationers). We're scheduled to stay here for another 3 weeks. Hopefully our house will be completed by then. Only time will tell....

We've come a long way in the last 2 weeks. So long are the days of staying in pee-stained, kennel smelling hotel rooms. My standards have definitely changed. I've looked beyond finding an occasional mouse turd and scorpion in the new pad. As long as the little critters keep their distance, I'm okay with
co-habitating.

Your house is beautiful. Light, airy, nice wood trim. Will you have new hardwood flooring? Love it.
Your attitude is beautiful, too. I'm betting having Mark home makes a big difference!
well amy, prof possitive, nothing is as bad as you first think. You handled it well. love from dad.
Thanks Amy. Yep, we'll get new hardwood flooring and tile. That's a positive.
My attitude wasn't so beautiful in the beginning :). Once I put it all in perspective, it became much more bearable. And yes, having Mark home makes all the difference in the world. It's funny how that works.
Thanks for the pictures! Yes, now I see that it will be ok. I was worried for your sanity there for a while. Your neighbor was right, you will come out ahead on this!
Congratulations on holding it all together! You are amazing.
Kristin~Thanks for letting me cry on your shoulder (via cell phone). It sure helped being able to vent so that I wouldn't go postal. You are a big part as to how I was able to hold it all together.
