The Oster-House!

It's not rocket science, there are certain known factors in life that can lead to stress. For example:

• Having a baby can be stressful.
• Moving can be stressful.
• Trying to sell a house can be stressful.
• Starting a new job can be stressful.
• Building a house can be stressful.
• Living w/ your parents can be stressful.

No wonder Troy and I have been a bit grumpy the past couple weeks.....this is our life! We are excited about all of the above bullet points, but if they weren't all right on top of each other, it might allow for a bit of breathing room these days. And to top it all off, I have to go back to work in T minus 9 days! Beyond depressing.....

But, all of our hard work is startign to pay off. The house is coming along great, should be in by mid-October (hopefully).

Two of the youngest contractors in Dubuque County....did I mention they work cheap too!
