Barn Building

The past two weeks we have been busy building a horse barn here in the Gap. It's been going up pretty quickly until yesterday when the weather changed. We are supposed to be hanging tin but will have to put that on hold for now. We got the walls and trusses up and have tin on two and half walls. Just the way it goes sometimes. But we have plenty to keep up busy until we can get back to the barn.

Griz Weekend

We finally made it over for a Griz game this year. And we actually got mom and dad to come as well. They hadn't been over for a game in 3 years, so we thought it was about time for a family adventure. Tim and I went over on Thursday and stayed with Jim and Sarah. Friday we met up with mom and dad and we all had lunch together. Then mom, Tim, Sarah, the boys and I headed to campus to purchase new Grizzly wear. While on campus, we visited the Pulitzer Prize winning photographs they had on display. Afterwards was more shopping, a very filling yet delicious meal and some relaxation.

Saturday morning, we met mom and dad at the Press Box, as is tradition, for their breakfast buffet and Bloody Mary's. We headed over to the tailgates and met up with some other Stanfordites. It was a beautiful game day, and of course an exciting game. Griz won 41 to 34! Tim still refuses to wear any Griz gear, but we did get him to use a grizzly koozie. Small steps!

It was a real fun weekend and it was great to be back in Missoula!

Working

The past few weeks, we have been working over at Tim's brother and sister-in-law's house. We resided their house and now we are working on building a deck. I can't believe the range of weather we have been working in. When we first started it was in the 90's and today it has been blowing snow. So crazy. We just hired my cousin Justin to help us for awhile. Wasn't the best day today to have him start in the cold but he did great. It's so nice to have an extra hand. We have quite a few big projects lined up. Next we will be building a horse barn and then will be doing a master bedroom and bath addition in Lewistown. The jobs are still lining up. No economic slow down here!

Here's a picture of Tim and Justin on the deck today. Still sounds like more snow this week. Should be fun!
