It keeps on growing

Time is flying, and the project is progressing quickly. The Residence building is complete and Bethel has moved in, the Printery project is well under way and the Warehouse, well lets just say it keeps on growing...

I took this picture the other morning before the fog lifted

Now the structure is complete, the roof is almost 3/4's on, the brick infill is almost complete, they are pouring the massive concrete slab around the outside. Its been very busy, the contractors are working 6 to 7 days a week which means we have an increased workload, and with close to 300 workers on site things change quickly. Overall things are going well and we are still having lots of fun.

Hopefully this will help you appreciate just how big the warehouse is, if you look carefully you will see some decent size trucks, a crane, and some tiny little people. This panorama was taken from the viewing deck where tours will come once its completed. 

It has been Pecan season here and there are many Pecan trees here at Bethel. They make good snacks during the workday

I tried to help the brother out that I share an office with with, not sure if he really appreciated it, but we do our best to support to one another.

This little guy visited us in the copy room the other day, the quirks of the printer bugged him too.

Lazuli is still working away in the tool crib, its a busy job as people need the tools to get the work done so keeping everything organized, clean, and ready to go keeps here hopping. Fortunately she has had a little time to relax here and there.

Testing chairs at the mall, with her Finnish friend, not sure this is the right one, have to check a few more....and testing chairs does make one hungry.

Good thing a Mugg and Bean wasn't too far away

We really wish we were better at keeping in contact with all our friends and family, we love hearing from you and what you are up to, sorry if we take forever or completely forget to reply to your emails. We really look forward to when everyone can enjoy life with one another without all the rush, until then we love you all, blog to you sometime in future....-Matt

Check out the View!

Our first scenic stop was at The Pinnacle:

The vegetation at the top of it is really pretty.

Then we went to God's Window. They told us on a clear day you can see all the way beyond Kruger Park to  Mozambique.  It was a clear day..but I'm not like, a terrain expert.  Was it Mozambique?  I'm not sure.  But I know it was beautiful!

Here's my view out of God's Window:

And here is my favorite view:

Oh, are you interested in the actual  view? Here ya go!

We took a little hike, and by hike  I mean climbed around on some stone paths up to the top through the rain forest and sat on top of the world:

Sitting on God's Window.  It's not blasphemous, since it's the name I can say that!

Don't worry guys, it's not like we were really being daredevils. It's all down to clever cropping and camera angles.  

We drove along just a little further though, and had a fantastic 180 degree view at a little spot cleverly named "Wonder View."

Ok, that's enough views for now!  Til next time, when I show you the stuff I dreamed about on Pinterest and then finally got to see in real life!
