Chainsaws & Treehouses

As you know, we recently acquired another ten acres. We have been tirelessly working to improve the land. I can honestly say that I now know how to use an auger. But that's an entirely separate story..This story is about a man, a chainsaw and a treehouse.

Adam loves his chainsaw. He really loves it now that he has trees to cut down. He is currently cutting paths through the trees to be used as trails for horseback riding. It will be great when it is completed. He is such a visionary. That was one of the thigns that drew me to him. I wanted to be apart of everything he told me about regarding his future.

Those of you who know him, know that he is not a great displayer of emotion or feeling. He keeps alot of things to himself. I often wonder what he is thinking. Through years of marriage I have learned that once he has it worked out in his head he is ready to talk about it.

I stated in a previous post we will be adopting a baby girl from Guatemala. I know she will be beautiful with a big smile and a contagious life. Adam and I have discussed the adoption alot, obviously! But as stated before, he doesn't display alot of emotion. I prayed that God would show me that Adam is as ready as I am. Well, he did... of course.

Adam was out, with the chainsaw, cutting his path. All of a sudden I hear him yell for me. Of course I come running thinking he has hurt himself. But he didn't. He said, "Look at that!" I look over and see 4 trees coming out of the ground in virtually the same spot. I said, "That's cool. What's so big about that?" He replied, "That is going to be the best place for a treehouse!"

I realized we are both ready for this awesome experience that is about to take place.
