A little trip back in time for this first Thursday in September.

September 4, 2008On this Thursday last year:
Kade and I were both nomads--living with friends and in hotels
We were only two days away from the CU vs. Citadel game.
There was nothing in the house but subfloor, tools, and dust.
My car was stuffed full of everything I needed to wear and get ready for work, the gym, and of course, football & tailgating. Kade told me he's still amazed that living from my car didn't send me over the edge given my Type A personality.
We hadn't had a homecooked meal in a LONG time. I think we were actually sick of eating out in restuarants.
At this point, drywall was the COOLEST item on the planet because it was going up in our house THAT day.
It wouldn't be until a few days later last year that we actually moved a little furniture into the house on carpet covering subfloor. But we were thankful for our walls, our floors, our own bed, and a bath tub. It is weird sometimes thinking back. Because it really feels like drywall going up happened yesterday. It is funny what you find you can live without. And it is funny what you find that you can't. I remember the beginning of last September with such clarity I have to look around at our painted walls and wood floors to remind me that it really is the same place, same time of year, just different. A good different, a wonderful different. And as this fall and football season begins, we're still in awe of the transition and we're still ever grateful for drywall.
