The Day We've Been Waiting For ....


.... for 3+ months! Yes, that's right. As you have probably worked out for yourselves from the photo - today heralds the start of the house frame being built. After such long delays we have struggled to find great joy and enthusiasm with the limited progress being made - even the slab pouring day was an overwhelming sense of relief rather than excitement. But today, turning into St. Barberie Drive at 5pm and seeing something higher than ground level, was a wonderful feeling. I could almost put all our frustration / disappointment / displeasure behind me and truly believe that once we are in the house, all those months / years of not having our independent married life will seem insignificant. However, I am sure we will be able to rediscover the bitter and twisted people we had become within a minute or so of reviewing our paper, email and photo trail extending back to January 2004!. But for today at least it is all warm fuzzy 42oC thoughts - an auspicious temperature for today's event indeed.

For the first initiation into our house the perspective of the photo is as follows:
Bathroom is directly in front of the photographer
Laundary is to the left of the photo
Study and bedrooms to the right - please note, we have made an extra room for anyone who would like to visit us for a while!
