Oh, my heart is happy, happy, happy.  I am in a location I very dearly love.  I have both kids here with me.  AND I have had communication with both of my brothers today – one I got to see & hug and one was via several emails.  {sigh}  From Sept-May my brother, Matt, lives 2 miles up the road from us….it has been over a month since I’ve seen him.  He kept working out of town this winter, so I’ve seen him probably 10 times (other than in passing at church) since January – pathetic!  (however, we get his cute little girlie once or twice a week…)  So, he flew down here today bringing a potential work crew to see about framing up the new cabin.  We got to see him for a couple hours before they had to head back.

Would you like to see my view when I work here?  Good, here is my view from sitting on the couch.  Also, I am sleeping on the couch (100% by choice) so I can enjoy this view to its fullest.  I love, Love, LOVE waking up during the night/early morning and seeing the mountains with the sun coming over them.  I soak it up.  I love waking up and just knowing this is my view — it really does satisfy my core.

Can you even believe this?!  It makes me so, so happy.  Even when I spend hours on the computer here – this is what I get to look up and see.  To my right are two windows just about six inches shorter than the one straight ahead that opens.  The two on the right don’t open.  This is basically the whole room – it is 16×16; and two of the four walls are basically windows.  Totally my kinds of room!  The metal ladder will not be the permanent access to the loft above, but it is what we use for right now.  See that “pole” on the left side?  That is actually a tree, it goes through the floor and the roots are still in the ground under the cabin.  I will show you more pictures of that tree later – but for today, that is all you’ll see.  ‘Cuz I’m still gushing over my view…can not get enough of it!

When I stand at the tree, in the center of the room – this is what I see.  I NEVER get tired of this view – it just really sets everything right for me.

This is when I step out the door.  {sigh}
Thank You Lord, it is only because of Your provision this haven on earth is possible for our family.  
I can not even begin to express how much being here makes me happy…I have ached for six years to be able to come and just be.  We are basically glorified camping — we have an outhouse, our kitchen sink is outside (rain or shine, we wash dishes outside), our shower — oh, wait until I show you the shower!, we have to fill our 300 gal water tank every couple days, and in general it simply is not convenient.  But it is oh, so very wonderful and worth every bit of extra work it takes just to live here!
