Library

If you are like me, the library has to be your favorite place in the whole wide world. Unfortunately, Honduras does not have a library system. So yesterday I got a box of books out of storage (we have no bookshelves) and put it in my office. The kids have enjoyed getting one book at a time out. They call it the library and have to return the book before they can get a new one. When we were in Washington we went to the library often and I think the kids miss it. When we build our own house we have one room planned for a library/office. We have at least a year or two to wait until we can get it built. We are just glad that we now know where it is going to be and now we are just waiting until we save the money to get started. It does give me more time to add/change my design again. :-) We did have to change the design when we found out that we are having a boy. We could never fit three kids in the size rooms that I had planned. I added 5 feet to the downstairs floor plan and was able to make my schoolroom bigger at the same time. YEAH!!!! As building supplies are different here, I have to take out one foot of floorspace for every two walls I have. I have been trying to make allowances for this. I just hope that everything won't be too big when it is built. It looks good on paper, but we will have to see when it is done.

We are praying that we can get a house outside of town to rent that will help us save more money every month. As it is impossible to get a loan to build the house as we are foreigners. We must save the money and put it aside so we can start building. In our house plans we are including a 2 bedroom guest apartment. Once it is built we need lots of people to come and visit us. :-)
