A little less nervous

I'd like to thank Mrs. Greene for a wonderful visit and observation. A little less nervous this time. I guess we're finally starting to find that groove. (I hope I'm speaking for all of us!)Deffinately some very good suggestions for improvement. I'll be glad when I can really start sifting through all of the info that we have at our disposal, as provided by NTI, and start utilizing all of the great ideas. Everything that I've used thus far is awesome and I'm kind of sticking with those things for now. To bring everyone up-to-date on the progress of my house, well, I'm hoping to start shingling the roof this weekend. I'll tell you, this year, with all of it's challenges,(teaching, NTI, house building and the basic family responsibilities) has been the wildest ride! It's only by the grace of God that I've/we've been able to sustain. My hat is off to all of you!
