Around here, we have been…

VACATIONING to ND. We took a trip over the 4th of July weekend to visit Angela’s extended family. It was such a great relaxing trip and we were able to see relatives that we haven’t seen for quite a long time. Together we celebrated the early 95th birthday of great grandma Amy.

The cousins had a great time together playing, and taking in all the sights – including the annual Independence Day Parade. There is something really special about small towns!

SEEING our house take shape. Once the foundation was finished, things really started to go more quickly and now they are finishing up the framing! This has been the most exciting part of the process to date, as it is finally starting to look like a house!

CHOOSING items for the house. With the building in full swing, we are busy choosing the finishes and fixtures we want to be installed in the home. There are so many choices to make, including flooring, lighting, and even toilets!

At the same time, we are fixing up/refinishing items that will be going in the new house – such as this cast iron sink!

RUNNING with a goal. Craig had the idea to improve his mile time this summer. His overall goal was to run a mile under 7 minutes. And he reached it! He has since gone on to run it in 6:50. And his new goal is to get Angela under 7. We shall see about that…

This is just a glimpse at what our family has been up to. If you’d like a closer look, be sure to check out our weekly ‘mini vlogs’ on our family YouTube channel ARROW HILL FAMILY. Be well everyone!
