It's a house!!  At least in shape ;) It's been so exciting to see it take shape this week.  Last week there was nothing but concrete and now this!

This will soon be my front door!!

 Tomorrow we'll have what's called a Joutoushiki.  It's another ceremony praying for safety and stuff, but also when they write the year and other important information on a piece of wood and put it up under the roof.  Very exciting!  I'll take lots of pictures...
