On the road again!

Brant is officially traveling again! Last Sunday he drove up to Washington. He will be traveling that state for two weeks. This week has been exciting because he has had 3 to 4 appointments everyday. Usually when he calls to set his appointments a few customers will tell him "NO" that they are not buying. This week not one has said "NO". We are hopeful it will remain the same through his entire trip. Hopefully we are seeing the economy grow and get better.
He is flying home on Friday afternoon for the weekend. I'm glad to have his help again.
I'm busy at work too. Homecoming is next Saturday for 5 nearby schools. We are busy for that and the bridal faire that is next Saturday also. I am also preparing for a sale we will be holding that Saturday.
I haven't been over to the house much this week because it's to hard with the kids. After school they are hungry and want to get straight home. The stucco is completly finished and they will be starting the rock tomorrow. It's so much fun to pick a color from a paint swatch card and see it transform the whole house. I love it! It's a really dark chocolate brown. I can't wait to see the rock!
Yesterday, was insulation day. Every time we start a new project the price goes up because we add more. We had them insulate the floor between the kitchen and the basement. That was an extra upgrade$$$. Today when I past they were hauling sheetrock in with a crane.... CRAZY! The truck was huge and it was fully loaded. I can't beleive we would need that much. Our contractor is running about 1 1/2 weeks behind schedual. He thinks he might be able to make up some time with the sheetrock guys. We'll see! I hope we finish and close by November 20th because we just extended our lease at the condo until then. And I definatly don't want to be here until December 20th. I hope every one likes the house a ton because we are not going to have much money left to buy funiture. "Welcome to our awesome house... You can sit here on this 5 gallon bucket." Oh Well, it is what it is. I just have to remind myself... the house was'nt built in a day so you can't have all the stuff to go in it in a day either. "Note to self: Make sure I bring my own sleeging bag and pillow when I go visit."
I will post pictures soon!
Love, Camia
