So far today...

1. We got a firm "NO." from AT&T about cable and Internet at our address...waiting to hear back from our 2nd choice company!
2. There are other houses being built on our street, and so far one of the builders next door has "Yeeeeeehaw"ed literally 9 times since I started writing this post! (I'm writing from our deck & can hear everything they say!) Hahaha!
3. Half of the construction people that built our house and others in this neighborhood are Amish! I love seeing them with their cute little lunch boxes & suspenders! I am so intrigued by the Amish culture! ...hmmm, it actually makes me feel kinda weird complaining about no internet! I HAVE been unusually productive these past couple weeks! :}
4. It's 50,000 degrees F outside & I'm going to head inside to cool off in the one room with actual window dressings! (the blinds are ordered for the house, but not installed yet!) So, I hung curtains in one of the guest rooms oday & it's now the puppies' and my favorite chill spot!
5. I'm so looking forward to my family visiting this weekend! It'll be so great seeing everyone, and I'm hoping to put some of mom & Little Miss's design skills to use! I already have some projects for us to work on lined up! I hope I can share some pictures of the house soon! Cross your fingers that we can join the 21st century sometime soon!

I am so intrigued by the Amish too! We have several communities in our area, and I love to see them going down the road in their buggies. We had a community meeting at my school a couple of weeks ago and two Amish families attended. I was so excited to see them, but I had to play it cool so they wouldn't think I was crazy : ) Each family had a baby with them and they were adorable.

Have a great time with your family this weekend and Happy 4th!
