We bought a house!

Actually, we didn't. We just bought this huge trailer that could serve as a house if we get desperate (which some days we do, but that's a whole different story). 

Anyway, sweet trailer! Billy has been needing one of these for so long and I think it was a good investment.



Now he's building shelves in it.

Our poor neighbors. We now have a shed, two trailers, two trucks, the occasional bobcat&trailer, garden boxes and an Oldsmobile all squeezed onto this little property. They are patient and kind. 
This picture is a little dark, but I took it because just look at all that big stuff. The business needs more room. Though we are very grateful for the space we have had thus far. 

Here are some other random pictures. 

We house/dog sat for Billy's mom a couple weeks ago. Charlie is a nut case.  

Look at that little creeper! 

Jamie and Dad and Billy put in Jamie's new counters and Billy was the elected contortionist plumber (probably with the typical crack, though you can't really see it haha!) 

I can't run since I got the cerclage so Billy now accompanies me on leisurely hikes through the mountains. I don't get nearly as far, but it is a good time and I'm happy I can still go into my mountains. 


Jamie! I regret not buying this! 

Billy has been working on a sweet project in Alpine! It is so cool! But I don't have pictures of it so when I get them I will make a separate post because it is sweet and the homeowners are SO pumped, which is always good. 

But while he was building a flagstone patio for them he was hammering in the flagstone with a dead blow mallet and someone distracted him and he smashed his finger!! OUCH! It gives me the shivers still, and every time I looked at it. It got so swollen and so nasty. (side note that what looks like a bruise running down the side of his finger is just a tar stain. But the finger tip is definitely all bruise!) 
Anyway, it was causing him great pain and discomfort so Mom and Jimmy and the internet finally confirmed that he could poke a hole in the nail to relieve the pressure so there was surgery 
And I didn't take a picture of the actual deed, but when he poked that red hot paper clip into his nail there was a little explosion and a river of blood. augh!! It was horrible! and then it just bled and bled and bled for like 4 more hours! In fact, after awhile you could watch the little bubble of blood coming out of the hole and it just pulsed in time with his heartbeat haha gross. And now I"m nervous he's going to get an infection! But it's already a lot less swollen and bruised so maybe that was good. 

That's pretty much it for now. Baby boy is doing good we think, and so is my cervix, we think, but we still very much hold our breaths every day. Too many soul-exhausting-dodecahedron emotions we anticipated might be hard but could not even imagine how hard, but Billy saves me every day and so we will be all right. 

And so on to my favorite holiday ever and garden planting soon! And hopefully finding a new place to live!
