Anticipation

Do you remember that commercial in the early 80's that used the Carly Simon song 'Anticipation' to advertise Heinz ketchup? Yummy fries on a plate that couldn't be eaten until the ketchup had been poured?

SLOWLY the ketchup makes it way down the neck of the bottle. No matter what anyone did to speed the process up, (hitting the bottle on the bottom or smacking the side of the bottle), it didn't help the ketchup flow to the opening any faster.

So where am I going with all this?

This my friends, is my adopted theme song for building our new house. We started in about August- design of the plan, picking materials, etc. all in place pretty fast.

Here's where the anticipation comes in...

We had to get signatures from the county to be our own subdivision. I believe the number was six but it may as well have been a hundred as long as it took! Approval to build off our own lane from UDOT, check this, check that. Pay for this, do that, run here, run there. (Poor Wes did most the run here and there!) Buy soapstone for counter tops- obviously one of the most important tasks in this whole mess!!! Sign on the line at least 50 times-

OK,

Plans-check

Picked out materials-check

permits-check

soapstone- check, check

loan-check

...and where are we now?

Waiting for the weather to break- and it just keeps coming! Sing it friends...Anticipation, Anticipaaaation. It's making me late and keeping me waiting!
