I am not entirely sure how to spell padawon....but I really feel like that is the message of the season. Patience. It reminds me of this song that we used to listen to when we were kids about a rabbit that was going on about how "he just can't wait to have patience, because  patience is a wonderful thing" then he went on to sing that he HAD to have patience now...and some other voice would tell the rabbit - "just be patient."

That is the thing about patience, you want to have it, but waiting for that "peaceful...all is going to be ok" feeling seems like it takes forever....and you need it now! If you had it, all of life's snafus wouldn't be bothering you in the first place. It is a catch 22!

So the long and short of it is that we are still stuck in permitting (I will let Dana give you more details Wednesday) and it LOOKS like we will get the all clear this Wednesday to finally break ground, but we are not holding our breath. I think we closed on the loan 2 months ago and had no idea the headache/heartache that would ensue over getting a piece of paper that says "Ok to build!"
