Beautiful Moments

My lovely roommates gifted Phil and I with an evening off last night. We walked along Rebecca Spit (Phil revived my dad's favorite joke "Don't you dare!" when we passed the sign) and it was stunning! There hasn't been enough time spent soaking up the wonder of our specific position in the universe right now, and that's been a shame. The wonder is overwhelming!

Of course, I found a lovely tree to climb, and Phil laughed at my childish antics. I continually remind him that he chose this...

We discussed where my adventurous nature came from, and how this whole insanity is going. It's going well. 

And I marveled again at this man who left everything behind in Ontario and moved across the country because he thought that I'd be fun to spend the rest of his life with.

 (sucker!)

 

Property and projects have been progressing nicely, if delayed frequently by downpours. The weather here is so variable, often we have showers, sunshine, and even hail, then back again on an hourly basis. Eleah looked at the raindrops sparkling in the sunshine the other day, then at me and said "I know why you like it here! The weather is as crazy as you are." 

We had the sea-cans moved onto position last week. Their foundations are screw-piles, and turned out to be cheaper and more stable than a cement pad would be. 

Now to paint them green, cut out/frame in and install doors and windows, do electrical, build walls, make built-in bunk beds, paint and decorate, and move children and furniture. We hope to be done by June!

In the meantime, spring break has begun, and there have been enough clear days to give us a taste of what summer may be like. I have to say, it's delicious!
