I've mentioned this many times, I am sure- but I really like our Wallace house. Like- even more than I thought I would. The feel of the place and the time we spend up there is irreplaceable.
This week we began a project which is likely to take us into the summer months, but at the end of it we should have a nice bonus room with enough space and bedding for at least four more people. I think it will be nice, hopefully cozy, and a good place to get away from the craziness that sometimes dominates the rest of the house. It definitely enjoys a great view over the valley that we will take advantage of. There will be a lot of work between now and then, but it's work that we are looking forward to. With no timeline, we can just do a little bit at a time whenever we happen to be up there. Right now, with ski season in full force, that is almost every weekend. Rach and I will also carve out some time in our schedules to spend some alone time up there, working on the room and enjoying the quaint restaurants where we have become regulars.

| When the only choices you packed are either ski clothes or a swimming suit. It's okay- the whole evening was sort of silly so it fit the mood. |

| Getting this wood up to the attic was stupid. And we only have to do it about a hundred more times. We may have "edited" the ceiling to make this job easier for ourselves. |
 |
| Success! Now let's do it again. And again. And again... |
As for skiing this weekend, it was wet and foggy. I secretly like skiing in the fog, because it is possible to surprise yourself- the very definition of reacting in the moment and a true test of how sharp your reflexes can be. I am not the only person in the family who shares this sentiment, and we all had a great time.

Besides weekend activities, we also had a fairly eventful week. Kids all finished finals, so our house feels more relaxed now by several degrees. We all went and saw a play together (SIX), which was mentioned in last week's post. On Sunday we hosted a meetup at our house for my work team/fantasy football league that Rachel had organized. Rach and I went to the climbing gym together. None of these things stands out in a huge way, but they all work together to make a pretty good week.
Have a good week!
