Long time - no blog

Wow. I realized I've not posted in over a year! You'd think it's because not much has happened, but au contrair (or something like that). Much has occurred. Hmm... where to begin...
  • We found out we were expecting another little one so I got busy in Sept.-Oct. designing an addition to our house to create some new space for our home-schooling and playroom to free up some bedrooms used for those things.
  • Nov. 04 - Mar. 05, we poured the foundation, raised the walls, roof, sheeting, siding... well you get the picture. We did most of the work ourselves (or myself) with the help of some great friends when needed and contractors when necessary (slab, siding, a/c). I'm thinking of bloggin that experience alone for anyone who might consider doing it themselves.
  • Late Mar. 05 our baby girl was born!
I guess that last one about counts for the rest of the year besides work and such.

Oddly enough, my prediction for the price of gas to go up to $3 per gallon by the end of 2004 was incorrect. It's there now but lets not get me started on the legitimacy of that. I think someone has calculated that for the price to be where it is now, the cost per barrel would have to be around $90. Oops, I got started anyway, sorry.

Other than that, not much is happening in NE FL. Our prayers go out to the victims of Katrina and Rita.
