Phew!

I finally finished my website for class!!! Yay! Now, perhaps I can REALLY finish it and find a good host and off I'll be...on my way...

I was looking through it last night thinking that I really like it and I really like all the artwork in it. Sometimes I think I just don't have enough artwork done yet, and I suppose I never really will. I'll always be working to get all those thoughts and images out of my head and on paper. Really, all I have left to do with the site is to put some stuff up for crafts and then update the images as I complete more stuff.

Currently I am in daydream mode. Our friend got a job in the Grass Valley area and Alex told him to keep a lookout for drafting positions at the new job. It turns out that one of their drafters is retiring and another is moving to a different position. So the company has to open the positions internally first and if there are no takers, they'll open them to the public. We have no idea if the pay would be right, if the job would be the right fit...but I started to look online at the area and some real estate, and wouldn't you know it...I promptly fell in love with a house up there. I'm trying to convince the hubby that we should go look at it. I want to see if the feeling is the same in person as it is online. It's hard to tell how you really feel about a house until you're standing in it. It's not the biggest, newest, most exciting house, but it has great features that are drawing me to it. Features that I always wanted but you could never get in the Valley. The huge yard, perfect for kids, with it's detatched garage AND workshop. The kitchen with a window AND a view, the location near a lake, hiking, biking, golfing (for the hub) and you can't beat smalltown charm and friendliness. I can pretty much make any house a home, but finding a home with nearby area amenities that suit you and your family is hard to do. So, aahhh, I'm just daydreaming...sigh.
