Week 12.3: Who'da thunk brick was so important?

We're positive many of you know of Brandy's love for her former state. And in case your unsure which one it is, the answer is North Dakota. (FYI, if you didn't know, we really should get together more often because hardly a week passes by without her rattling off some North Dakota statistic or wild story about a place you only thought existed in the movies.)

Anyway, one of Brandy's (formerly secret) wishes was fulfilled this past week when the time came to choose brick for our home. Being a die-hard North Dakota fan, she naturally wanted to use Hebron Brick as it is a brick made less than an hour from her hometown. Since moving to Owatonna, it didn't seem as if that would ever be a possibility, however to both of our surprise, the builder uses Hebron Brick! We're not exactly sure when it will be added to our home, but it is guaranteed that one its dwellers will be a very happy camper whenever she looks at it.

In other house news, the walls have been taped and mudded, and are now ready for texture. It looks as if painting this upcoming week or weekend is imminent!
